Message: [QUOTE="Stroked777, post: 1064623, member: 10884"] The only way I would own another 6.4 is if I have a tuner to delete it. Dpf and regen kill these trucks. I bought mine with 53k on it and tuned it right away, from the regen and egr, with just 53k on it, my intake mani was coked up and my rockers were completely shot at that time. Since I had it I put a stg 1 cam in it, bd egr delete, mini max with Gearhead tunes, upgraded valve springs, upgraded push rods, head studs, replaced a egt sensor, replaced the rockers, replaced a cracked up pipe and I think that's about it. The truck hasn't had a easy life, daily wot runs, a bunch of sled hooks, Bunch of drag passes, street races, and this is still on the stock trans with no signs of slippage. I been extremely happy with my 6.4 and would get another one if I can get rid of the emissions stuff. Bang for your buck they can make a good amount of power for relatively cheap, the pistons are hit or miss and nick detrays 6.4 was a quad turbo monster that I believe put down over 1300 on fuel only on a stock bottom end. If your lucky you can get a truck that will be problem free and you can make big power without touching the bottom end. I'm up to almost 111k miles on my truck now and if you were to ask me I would say it's been trouble free, it had never left me stranded and it's never been trailered home from the pulling track or the strip. Always drive home and would always start right up in the morning no matter how cold it got at night. I did go off the road once and half way into a frozen pond in the winter and it stayed runnin and kept me warm until the tow truck found me. [/QUOTE]
