I’ve got a 09 6.4. Bought it new and within 500 miles the engine blew. Replaced it with a Jasper block and built it up, deleted it, H&S tuner and did every upgrade I could. 228k on it today and haven’t had a problem since. These 6.4’s aren’t as bad people make them out to be,. Just keep up on your maintenance and make sure to clean your oil, trans, intercooler and radiator every now and then.
Ya 33000 miles with 4 turbos, 2 sets of rockers, 3 different sets of heads and 45k$ later you have a somewhat reliable truck…. Keep fooling around with that 6.4 buddy. Been there done that.
Wow...this is great. After seeing soooo many videos/forum posts about the horrors of these engines, its a relief to see someone who hasn't had all of the major issues. We need more videos like these. I bought a used 2010 F250 6.4L from a dealer who had the entire service history on the truck...and in fact the original owner bought it new from the same dealer I purchased it from. It had no major issues and the owner kept up with maintenance. I have since deleted the DPF, disabled the EGR coolers (via tune...but still need to delete them) and run oil and fuel additives at every change/fill up. I do oil/filter every 5k and fuel filters every 10k(severe duty maintenance schedule just to be safe) and have had no issues. Most I haul is 800 lbs and daily driver the rest of the way. I hope mine goes as far without issue like yours has. One thing...in some previous videos you mention changing rocker arms potentially...etc. Not exactly "pure" stock if you've had to get into the engine/remove the heads. Have you had to?
If it only had to have rockers replaced, then the heads wouldn't need to come off, I don't believe. The rocker arm tips that press against the valve bridges on 6.4 engines wear down over time and begin to tick and cause back pressure in the intake, accompanied by a popping noise through the intake. It's usually caused by lack of maintenance.
Stock block stock zf6 trans at 679,000 and change. Drive her every day 200+ miles beaten like a r@ped ape with 10* injector timing and 30% overfuel on wot. Love my 7.3
I drive a bone stock 6.0 that just turned 313,000. Ive always ran all motorcraft filters and oil. Change it at 5000 miles and run archoil oil additive and diesel kleen fuel additive. Love the truck to death. Its all about taking care of your truck and understanding it. Alot of people run the piss out of them with a tuner and dont build the.motor for it
Thanks for the great video. Sweet truck, and good for you for being a responsible owner and keeping up with your truck. People beat the piss out of their trucks and don't keep up with them, and expect them to last.
The 6.4 PSD is a problematic engine due to its design as well as the emission controls. Front covers get cavitation in the water pump area, rocker arm bridge failures, turbo failures. I wouldn't own one. I'll stick to my 7.3....
Nice to see another beauty of a daily. Mine is similar to yours. The difference is mine is Blue and has single rear wheels. The same tuner is kept in stock. Unless I'm towing or hauling. The single rear wheels like to break away a little. The gears are the same 410. Would like to drop them down a notch or two. Certainly have the power to do it. But that might be$$. 136K miles this now being May 2024. I had to change the front plate and do a rear main at 72K miles. Warrenty. My thoughts are to much CC pressure in regen. All that is gone. I just added a large 4"X7" DIY catch can with a 2" deep reservoir so baffling to spread the CCV evenly through the SS pot scrubber filter system. The 1"ID tubing seems to vent the CCV and the SS wool doesn't appear to restrict the CCV at all. The Catch Can is mounted on the passenger side frame rail with 2 U bolts and saddles. It's not excessively cold here. So the engine sewage won't freeze. But I refuse to run that sewage back through my clean cold air intake. Then have it mess with my painstakingly metered air-fuel ratio. My cold starts seem better and my turbos seem to spin up better 👍 no black smoke in stop-and-go traffic the low boost fuel is set at the tuner to #2 out of 5. Still has great lift-off
PS. There is a 3/8 ball check drain valve in the bottom of the can. That I check and drain every 4K oil and filter service. All so a knowledgable diesel mic. Said because there is zero lube in modern diesel and if I want my HP fuel pump to last. That along with quality diesel conditioner I should add 2 stroke fuel additive. 200cc to every 16 gallons of fuel.
Keep a close eye on possibility of coolant leaking into your oil, my front cover had deep cavitation and was about to leak at just 129,000mi when I put a completely new engine/transmission in my 09' F450 King Ranch... I Pulled a 7K-20k Trailer every single mile in SCT "Extreme" Mode (516HP/1050TQ on the ground) for all 129k and I didn't maintain my fuel filters properly so It's short life was all my fault... Loved the way the truck handled massive loads so much I spent $20k+ Bulletproofing/Studding/Deleting and installing a REMOTE COOLANT FILTER after looking at 80k+ for a loaded new truck and finding out the 17' F450 would no longer have the 16,000lb dana S130 rear axle
Hi Ramon. Great video, thank you for sharing. I have a 2008 F350 6.4L King Ranch with only 70,000 miles, immaculate condition. It's been a great truck but I'm looking at selling it since I recently sold my 30 ft 5th wheel and don't need it anymore. Let me know if you're interested.
Man I had to do the same thing and spent the same amount of money bulletproofing my truck. It’s sad we have to toss in an extra $20k into the motor to fix what the engineers missed or got lazy on.
I loved my 08 6.4 until 85,000. Despite meticulous maintenance, it was going to require $10k in work for the 3rd radiator, fuel pump, oil cooler, air conditioning compressor, injector, and more. All stock. No tuner. It was 6 years old so it was out of warranty.
I have a 08 6.4 and everyone rips on them so much but I can understand on some of it. But this helps me a lot, make me sure my truck will last as long as yours if I keep up with it
Got 358 on my 2010. Only thing done is its deleted,radiator,and injectors. Got wicked wheel turbo upgrade and cold air. Other then thats its 100% stock no other engine problems
l have a 08 6.4 widt 200,000 k use every day pulling trailer end equipment 8 years driving. this 350. l only remplace one front bearing end the glow plug controler pcm in 8yrs. l like 6.4 engine
that's amazing if the DPF was still hooked up and going through regen cycle. I deleted mine at 90 thousand and got rid of the emission engine killing equipment.
Damn we have 2 or them one has 23000 and the other 6000, no issues. We have always been duramax and were great, never, not one issue, after looking for a good used 2008 power stroke I'm getting scared as hell.
Bruh man I’ll tell you I was in Lewisburg Tennessee a few days ago and every single truck shop had a 6.7 power stroke in there because the freaking engine blow man damn 6.7 power strokes are super overrated
You're very lucky getting that kind of mileage out of a 6.4. I had an 08 that starting eating high pressure fuel pumps (one at 90k and one at 126k) along with other problems. Most of these engines grenaded in 100k - 200k mileage range. After seeing more than 50 6.7 cummins with 300,000 to 700,000 miles will very few issues, we switched our whole truck fleet to 6.7 cummins. They are much better, problem free, long lasting engines.
You are wrong. Remove that emissions crap that blows extra fuel into the back cylinders to regen. It washes the rings and contaminates the oil. My deleted 08 has just turned 291,000 miles. I live in Oregon with big mountains and tow heavy. Just came back from a trip into the Idaho mountains. This thing wails!
They were designed as a throw away motor but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t things you can do to prevent issues or stay on top of regular maintenance they can be as good as any given what the owner puts into it and how they treat it my 08 6.4 has just as many miles as my 10 6.7 Cummins and has had less work done on it and in my opinion has pulled better
Hey Ramon, thanks for the video! I also have an 08 6.4. I bought it used with 132k on it last year. Now it has over 165k and still running strong. Haven't had any problems. I change oil & filter every 5k and fuel filter every 10k. Deleted the truck at about 140k or so, can't remember. I also use Stanadyne everytime I get fuel. I still use Motorcraft 15w-40 oil cuz it hasn't given me any problems so I figured why change it. Any other tips you can give me??? When do I NEED to change diff oils? Guy I bought it from made it known that he religiously maintained the truck and he even showed me how to do everything. I'm hoping I get many many more miles from my truck. I use it for my hauling business. So it's tuned for towing with 70 more HP. I would say 90% of the time, it's towing at least an empty dump trailer weighing 3,800lbs.
Haha those seat covers are from a Hawaii company! “Wet Okole” Haha Okole means pretty much means Ass in Hawaiian. Beautiful truck man looking to straight pipe my 6.4 soon
I’m impressed that this truck has gone so far on just one 6.4L motor. Even if you delete them, that front cover and that entire valvetrain is some of the worst designs I’ve ever seen. Well done. I hope it goes longer for you.
hey good to see another high mileage 6.4, mine got about 185 on it, was wondering if you could make a blow by video just pop your oil cap off while running, just curious thanks
H&S is no longer in business. My understanding is their tuners were causing lots of serious mechanical engine failures (due to fuel timing issues). I would go back to a stock tune in anything other than a 7.3. Otherwise, there are some tuners from other manufacturers that don't have the same issues. Again though, for a 6.4, your best option (for longevity) is to avoid any tuning.
you must install a tuner, if you delete the dpf and don't install a tuner the truck forces regen constantly, And if you don't delete the dpf your asking for cylinder and valve troubles and crap mileage
Nice truck. I see you still have the EGR coolers. did you block them off? Also looks like the exhaust pipe inside is black so did you do a DPF delete using your mini maxx?
MOPAR_LSX _SVT_JDM nope I have one deleted fast as hell not I repeat not reliable, I’ve owned it since new I keep a close eye on it the day the blow by get worse it’s gone.82k now hopefully I can get to 150k
My experience with a stock 08 3500 6.4.... @ 30,000 crank seals start leaking horrible. Melted EGR. Constantly in limp mode. Terrible fuel mile. AVG 11 mpg. Towing 5-8 mpg. 3 radiators. Cab off 3 times for various reasons. Engine don't sound right. Last oil change @ 99,264 metal shavings on oil plug magnet. $60+ G truck is a piece of shit. Have 4 dodge 3500 Cummings, 2000, 06, 11 and a 12.Out of all of them worst thing that happened was an injector pump on the 2000 went because someone ran fuel out and keep trying to start it dry.
If you have a delete its not really "stock", thats the reason why you made it to 300,000. If you left the dpf on it, you wouldn't have made it to 150,000.
Ramon sanchez can you recommend to me the tuner and the egr delete that do you use in your truck because i just buy a f350 6.4. 2009 and i have same emissions issues...i field bad because is my first deasel truck and i just heard bad comments about 6.4 engines but i feel better went i see you video...i really appreciate if you answer me
Yeah and I’m gonna post this video of my buddy who has over 1,000,000 miles on a 6.4 power stroke that he got brand spankin new in 2009 with the same engine in it stocked
Jeffrey Zimmerman them Chevy motors are very strong and reliable, love the 5.3, not too weak and not too much on fuel consumption, I own a 00 and 05 with it
All states have the same fine? Anyone who removes a DPF should do it the right way, hollow out a real DPF then use it for the replacement pipe. If it looks factory, you likely pass any inspection. Putting a straight pipe that looks different is asking for a fine.
same thing in oregon, no emissions requirements except in portland and they don't pull you over for it either it's fun to bury the portland snobs in black smoke .lol.
I'm not sure why people still dog on the 6.4's. It's hard to deny that they are work horses when maintained properly. However I can say that, once the engine does decide to give you fits, it'll become the most expensive repair bill you've ever had.
My 6.4 is on its 3rd engine! Engine 1 abused by previous owner, spun main bearings Engine 2. Injector hung open, overfilled crank case, caused it to run away Engine 3. New everything with single turbo kit
Hey bro, have you done anything to your DPF? They need to get cleaned often or deleted? How can you have so many miles on that truck without having any issues with your emissions stuff?
everybody's says the 6.0s , 6.4s , and 6.7s are shit.. well im here to tell you they are NOT! they are GREAT motors.. yes they have their weak links & a few problems. BUT!!! if you maintain them and do not, i repeat DO NOT put H&S tunning on them!!! they can last a looonnnggggg time no prob.. but ppl tune them and get them hot as shit an crack the heads and melt the pistons when they do that shit and they tear the motor up!! these are great motors. they are just ungodly expensive when they break but the suspension and interior are EXCELLENT. 2nd to none! i say this becus my old man drives ford trucks.. i drive chevy & dodge haha.. 6bts and duramax's will outlast the fords yes but the comforts and ride quality of the fords are fan-fuking-tastic!!
Ramon Sanchez i agree with you 110% brother man! im not rly into the duramax's but they are decent if you get a good one that was maintained you know? i guess thats with anything right? i just have over a million miles of working on 4bt & 6bts 12v's and early 24v's. i love straight 6 motors.. gas or diesel, i love inline 6s.. Cat nd Detroit engines are straight 6s. you know why? becus they are naturally balanced and can naturally rev higher an they dont have the close / tight ass tolerances like powerstrokes do and thats why they almost always run to half a million or even over a million miles before they are rebuilt or tossed to the side for another one.. but this guy right here knows what the 6.4 and 6.0 is capable of but ppl neglect them and treat them like the old 7.3 idi's and you just cant do that... to sensitive of a system. but when it works look out! one more thing tho.. when you goto all the big tractor pulls what motors do you mainly see? cat.. detroit. and cummins. very very very few powerstrokes.. but i say fuck it to each is their own right? take it easy man and take care of that 6.4 like you have been!!
Ramon Sanchez haha.. you just may have found your man then.. i used to be a big gas guy... my first car was a 72 chevy with a 350 LT1 4spd m22 rock crusher, 3.73 rear end, no a/c & no pwr brakes but it does have pwr steering tho.. anywho i still own it. bought it with cash when i was 16. i worked 5 yrs as a bus boy and food runner at a restaurant for that damn car and i drove it everyday for over 4 yrs.. damn good car.. they dont make them like they used to.. anyways ive been doing this shit for a long time now.. im 26 and i do engine & tranny swaps for alot of ppl on the side. when i was 19 i got ahold of a 92 skyline that had a straight 6 RB20 in it and i absolutely beat the piss outa that motor.. i spent over 100 hours on the rev limiter drifting that car and as long as you had oil & coolant in the engine then you just couldnt blow it up... well i sold the motor and put the 5spd trans in a Lexus LS400 i had. But i bought a LS1 out of a rear ended ugly yellow corvette with a t56 tremec 6spd and swapped that into my 92 skyline and then the baddest drift bitch you ever heard or seen was born!! i won many a competition with that motor & car combo.. sold it to a guy in texas who had never even saw a right hand drive car befor let alone drive one.. he drove it all the way from Baltimore Maryland to Houston Texas with no tags and only got pulled over 1 time!! hahaha email me brother man ( brant427@gmail.com ) my name is Brant. i just might be able to help you out or in the least i can point you in the right direction. just get at me an we'll go from there alright bruv? stay safe man il wait to hear from you and if i dont i will email you personally
You'll see a pattern. Take care of you truck . Do you regular maintenance. Absolutely NO race tune or stuck stuff like that , basic tow tunes are usually fine and enjoy .
Tommy Bragalone try hourly oil change intervals instead of mileage. Idle time is hard on anything more so than driving or pulling. My 6.4 I did oil changes at 180-200 hours. Manual recommended 220 hours or 5-8500 km
Yeah I blew #7. Hauling ass. I believe I was a 156mph on i25 heading south. Took it to title max and got 9,000k for it. Even though they didn't know nothing about what they had given me a title loan on. Good they been screwing people over all the time.
I have the 08 6.4 extended cab with 8 ft bed. hs mini Maxx tuner performance radiator / inter cooler cold air intake aftermarket head studs egr delete dpf delete straight pipe exhaust all the way to the engine turbo piping performance valve springs and a few other things. those are just the main things. I'm at 143k right now. do you think this truck will last me a while if I take good care of it?
Ramon Sanchez might as well huh. lol. I drive it real easy. damn 147 is fast. not sure how fast mine was, all I know is the needle was past the 100 marker. I was racing a duramax on I-95. seeing your truck with this many miles sure is inspiring, though. I've got a video up right now, it's not a walk around, but you can still see the truck a little bit. I might post a walk around later.
@@grantacoatneysr9657 I don’t have it anymore. Got rid of it 6 months ago at 200k miles. Truck was holding up really well for 5 years, I did a bit of racing here and there ;) Then It started leaking oil which would have been a $5,000 fix so I sold it as is
Just got a 2010 F350 SWR 8ft bed diesel love it has 77k just put a new turbo in it cost 5 grand. i want to do some stuff to it like a brush guard idk what else to do i want to leave it stock i want to do some upgates nothing too expensive
I got a single turbo , the radiator i believe was changed im not sure so far no problems, what would cold air intake do ? If the batteries get weak im thinking about getting those yellow ones they like 400 bucks not sure how much they will be for f350 you know what im talking about. Maybe ill post a video of the truck and you can check it out
Ramon Sanchez The dpf stops the fuel from going into the 7 & 8. Im worry about the turbo thing bc i just had the whole cab taken off for that turbo. What does the tune do
People get hysterical about everything these days. Of course folks are going to have problems but a reasonably maintained 6.4 will last. Exceptions... of course but you pay to play and you can easily make a 6.4 a missile. We all know what happens to missiles in the end....
+Ramon Sanchez thinking about getting a 08 with 190k on it. not too sure on previous maintenance. yet. go delete everything if I get it with light tune if it looks and drives good enough
Yes, agreed. Ford and the others don't do what they should to clean these motors up on emissions. The DPF idea is an abortion of an idea which is anti-consumer friendly. it's a patch job and it's funded by the consumers in the USA. Complete junk just like the retro-fits the EPA forced the public to put on their 1970 gas engines, an EGR retro-fit. Heats engines up and they don't last or run correct. Once they figure out an internal method to reduce soot, diesels will last longer. It is totally amazing how much crap is under the hood of a Ford to make them clean.
I’ve got a 09 6.4. Bought it new and within 500 miles the engine blew. Replaced it with a Jasper block and built it up, deleted it, H&S tuner and did every upgrade I could. 228k on it today and haven’t had a problem since.

The rockers wear like clockwork I'm told. I put a non vgt turbo in and had them replace them anyway. Design flaw.
Get rid of that DPF should lower the Back pressure. Maybe lower the wear on the rockers

hows the 6.4 doing now two years later?

all you need to do is own the 6.7 ford or Cummings and you've got the best of the best so putting a 6.4 vs a 6.7 isn't a reasonable comparison,
Im at 450k on the original k16 siemens pump dirtty fuel is the killer.
The 6.4 is an incredible engine, once you get rid of the DPF crap it's as good as all the pre emissions powerstrokes
it is not
You are on the original DPF at this mileage?? Most Diesel shops suggest removing them to prevent Turbo damage.
You are wrong. Remove that emissions crap that blows extra fuel into the back cylinders to regen. It washes the rings and contaminates the oil. My deleted 08 has just turned 291,000 miles. I live in Oregon with big mountains and tow heavy. Just came back from a trip into the Idaho mountains. This thing wails!
Ron Dye did you egr delete as well?
Yes, the coolers are there but non functional. I may get a full delete for the coolers but for now I am having no leaks.
got 305,000 on ours. clean inside like new, sounds just like yours.
They were designed as a throw away motor but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t things you can do to prevent issues or stay on top of regular maintenance they can be as good as any given what the owner puts into it and how they treat it my 08 6.4 has just as many miles as my 10 6.7 Cummins and has had less work done on it and in my opinion has pulled better
Hey Ramon, thanks for the video! I also have an 08 6.4. I bought it used with 132k on it last year. Now it has over 165k and still running strong. Haven't had any problems. I change oil & filter every 5k and fuel filter every 10k. Deleted the truck at about 140k or so, can't remember. I also use Stanadyne everytime I get fuel. I still use Motorcraft 15w-40 oil cuz it hasn't given me any problems so I figured why change it.
Any other tips you can give me??? When do I NEED to change diff oils?
Guy I bought it from made it known that he religiously maintained the truck and he even showed me how to do everything.
I'm hoping I get many many more miles from my truck. I use it for my hauling business. So it's tuned for towing with 70 more HP. I would say 90% of the time, it's towing at least an empty dump trailer weighing 3,800lbs.
how do you delete the dpf and still get a pass on your smog and emissions?
Haha those seat covers are from a Hawaii company! “Wet Okole” Haha Okole means pretty much means Ass in Hawaiian. Beautiful truck man looking to straight pipe my 6.4 soon
Hell yeah brother. You still have the dpf too?
Edit I saw the pipes,no dpf😂
These 6.4s tow so good with a tune
I do not have the dpf I sold it. Also. These truck are nice before 350k.
If you can afford get a 6.7. Those are awesome
I’m impressed that this truck has gone so far on just one 6.4L motor. Even if you delete them, that front cover and that entire valvetrain is some of the worst designs I’ve ever seen. Well done. I hope it goes longer for you.
Chevyblock 550 there is no bad design, the only thing that kills them is improper maintenance.
hey good to see another high mileage 6.4, mine got about 185 on it, was wondering if you could make a blow by video just pop your oil cap off while running, just curious thanks
Jordan David I've got a video of that. go check it out and tell me if yours is similar
WELL ITS BEEN A HOT MINUTE. I WISH I COULD RECEIVE ALL YOUR COMMENTS BUT I DONT KNOW.OR IF THEY EVEN DO THAT.
H&S is no longer in business. My understanding is their tuners were causing lots of serious mechanical engine failures (due to fuel timing issues). I would go back to a stock tune in anything other than a 7.3. Otherwise, there are some tuners from other manufacturers that don't have the same issues. Again though, for a 6.4, your best option (for longevity) is to avoid any tuning.
you must install a tuner, if you delete the dpf and don't install a tuner the truck forces regen constantly, And if you don't delete the dpf your asking for cylinder and valve troubles and crap mileage
They got in a ton of shit for allowing you to program out the egr and dpf delete.
I think all diesel trucks have their own issues. The most important thing is research all the problems and fix them before it happens.
Nice truck. I see you still have the EGR coolers. did you block them off? Also looks like the exhaust pipe inside is black so did you do a DPF delete using your mini maxx?
Damn that's a LOT of miles for a stock 6.4
I’m thinking of getting one I’m a Cummins & duramax guy but I’ll try a 6.4 I heard there really good engines ones deleted
MOPAR_LSX _SVT_JDM nope I have one deleted fast as hell not I repeat not reliable, I’ve owned it since new I keep a close eye on it the day the blow by get worse it’s gone.82k now hopefully I can get to 150k
That would be the worst thing to do stay away from that 6.4. Work for international dealer work on this junk everyday.
I have a 08 deleted 6.4 and a 03 cummins . I've had more problems with the cummins than the powerstroke . It's all hit or miss .
My experience with a stock 08 3500 6.4.... @ 30,000 crank seals start leaking horrible. Melted EGR. Constantly in limp mode. Terrible fuel mile. AVG 11 mpg. Towing 5-8 mpg. 3 radiators. Cab off 3 times for various reasons. Engine don't sound right. Last oil change @ 99,264 metal shavings on oil plug magnet. $60+ G truck is a piece of shit. Have 4 dodge 3500 Cummings, 2000, 06, 11 and a 12.Out of all of them worst thing that happened was an injector pump on the 2000 went because someone ran fuel out and keep trying to start it dry.
Don't leave um stock. Delete them, let them breath 291K and counting. Auto trans at 285K
If you have a delete its not really "stock", thats the reason why you made it to 300,000. If you left the dpf on it, you wouldn't have made it to 150,000.
I have a 2008 f250 260.000 miles with dpf almost any truck well maintained will last long
oh no it's recorded vertically.
consider yourself LUCKY!!
Ramon sanchez can you recommend to me the tuner and the egr delete that do you use in your truck because i just buy a f350 6.4. 2009 and i have same emissions issues...i field bad because is my first deasel truck and i just heard bad comments about 6.4 engines but i feel better went i see you video...i really appreciate if you answer me
It helps when you don't stand on the gas all the time
i had over 11k hours in my 08 , when i got it, it had like 98k mies 11k hours i guess it idle alot, it was stock too, was a california goverment truck
i got the same truck man 08 6.4 and its got 354,000 km on it
My 7.3 powerstroke gots 340,000 miles on it and she still runs strong
It gots 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'll post a new video of a 2013 6.7 f350 with just over 760,000 miles same motor on it's 2nd turbo!
Yeah and I’m gonna post this video of my buddy who has over 1,000,000 miles on a 6.4 power stroke that he got brand spankin new in 2009 with the same engine in it stocked
my buddy's step dad has a 05 Tahoe with the 5.3 and he is at 467k miles
He tows every day almost but it's only a 20 ft car trailer. Nothing like hot shot. But it does tow and idles all day with the ac going.
Jeffrey Zimmerman them Chevy motors are very strong and reliable, love the 5.3, not too weak and not too much on fuel consumption, I own a 00 and 05 with it
And they make good cheap power for swaps;)
Had a 96 s10 blazer had 579k when I sold it running like new still
I'm all for def delete but it's 10k if u get pulled over and then you have to put it back on
All states have the same fine? Anyone who removes a DPF should do it the right way, hollow out a real DPF then use it for the replacement pipe. If it looks factory, you likely pass any inspection. Putting a straight pipe that looks different is asking for a fine.
same thing in oregon, no emissions requirements except in portland and they don't pull you over for it either it's fun to bury the portland snobs in black smoke .lol.
327,000 miles and 5 engines later
Hey, I have the same truck. Is your truck deleted?
Pretty lucky to have gotten that many out of the 6.4. Garbage engine.
I'm not sure why people still dog on the 6.4's. It's hard to deny that they are work horses when maintained properly. However I can say that, once the engine does decide to give you fits, it'll become the most expensive repair bill you've ever had.
My 6.4 is on its 3rd engine!
Engine 1 abused by previous owner, spun main bearings
Engine 2. Injector hung open, overfilled crank case, caused it to run away
Engine 3. New everything with single turbo kit
Powerstroke6.4 in about to buy a used on
My 6.4 engine blew at 80k. Turbo went out and took cylinders 2 and 8 with it.
if you do some deep research in parts you can find parts equal to or greater than motorcraft but usually it's an aftermarket part made for performance
Hey bro, have you done anything to your DPF? They need to get cleaned often or deleted? How can you have so many miles on that truck without having any issues with your emissions stuff?
That's what I've done. removed the cat and dpf, with the tuner. Towing at 287,000 miles and runs strong and quiet. Yes I do the maintenance too.
A unicorn exists!!!
Truck still up and running man?
everybody's says the 6.0s , 6.4s , and 6.7s are shit.. well im here to tell you they are NOT! they are GREAT motors.. yes they have their weak links & a few problems. BUT!!! if you maintain them and do not, i repeat DO NOT put H&S tunning on them!!! they can last a looonnnggggg time no prob.. but ppl tune them and get them hot as shit an crack the heads and melt the pistons when they do that shit and they tear the motor up!! these are great motors. they are just ungodly expensive when they break but the suspension and interior are EXCELLENT. 2nd to none! i say this becus my old man drives ford trucks.. i drive chevy & dodge haha.. 6bts and duramax's will outlast the fords yes but the comforts and ride quality of the fords are fan-fuking-tastic!!
Ramon Sanchez i agree with you 110% brother man! im not rly into the duramax's but they are decent if you get a good one that was maintained you know? i guess thats with anything right? i just have over a million miles of working on 4bt & 6bts 12v's and early 24v's. i love straight 6 motors.. gas or diesel, i love inline 6s.. Cat nd Detroit engines are straight 6s. you know why? becus they are naturally balanced and can naturally rev higher an they dont have the close / tight ass tolerances like powerstrokes do and thats why they almost always run to half a million or even over a million miles before they are rebuilt or tossed to the side for another one.. but this guy right here knows what the 6.4 and 6.0 is capable of but ppl neglect them and treat them like the old 7.3 idi's and you just cant do that... to sensitive of a system. but when it works look out! one more thing tho.. when you goto all the big tractor pulls what motors do you mainly see? cat.. detroit. and cummins. very very very few powerstrokes.. but i say fuck it to each is their own right? take it easy man and take care of that 6.4 like you have been!!
Ramon Sanchez haha.. you just may have found your man then.. i used to be a big gas guy... my first car was a 72 chevy with a 350 LT1 4spd m22 rock crusher, 3.73 rear end, no a/c & no pwr brakes but it does have pwr steering tho.. anywho i still own it. bought it with cash when i was 16. i worked 5 yrs as a bus boy and food runner at a restaurant for that damn car and i drove it everyday for over 4 yrs.. damn good car.. they dont make them like they used to.. anyways ive been doing this shit for a long time now.. im 26 and i do engine & tranny swaps for alot of ppl on the side. when i was 19 i got ahold of a 92 skyline that had a straight 6 RB20 in it and i absolutely beat the piss outa that motor.. i spent over 100 hours on the rev limiter drifting that car and as long as you had oil & coolant in the engine then you just couldnt blow it up... well i sold the motor and put the 5spd trans in a Lexus LS400 i had.
But i bought a LS1 out of a rear ended ugly yellow corvette with a t56 tremec 6spd and swapped that into my 92 skyline and then the baddest drift bitch you ever heard or seen was born!! i won many a competition with that motor & car combo.. sold it to a guy in texas who had never even saw a right hand drive car befor let alone drive one.. he drove it all the way from Baltimore Maryland to Houston Texas with no tags and only got pulled over 1 time!! hahaha email me brother man ( brant427@gmail.com ) my name is Brant. i just might be able to help you out or in the least i can point you in the right direction. just get at me an we'll go from there alright bruv? stay safe man il wait to hear from you and if i dont i will email you personally
Beezy my 08 f250 rides like a lumber truck and it’s has new ball joints, in fact all new front end and suspension. Hahahaha
Are you from Albuquerque New Mexico? Truck looks familiar. I have a 6 four as well
How you got started in the hot shot business. I have a 08 f450. I wanna get into it myself
Does she still run today and if so how many miles and hours. Curious because I’m thinking of buying a used 08 250
You haven’t had any serious problems with the truck
You'll see a pattern. Take care of you truck . Do you regular maintenance. Absolutely NO race tune or stuck stuff like that , basic tow tunes are usually fine and enjoy .
There are no wrist pin bushings on the rods in this engine. Wtf is that all about?
U have a ram air intake it tech not stock if had the old air filter ok but u got a aftermarket intake
You mean the body has 327000 miles. that is the second or third engine
other account no stuiped listen
Mines at 287,000 but has been deleted.
Powerstroke help isn't a scammer.
RUBEN EL PAISA Ent. He works on these throwaway engines every day
In your face 6.4 haters
hey where did you get that pushbar
Your doing something right if you got 327k out of a stock 6.4 please tell me what you are doing
Ramon Sanchez lol how many miles on each oil change
Ramon Sanchez I can get my oil every 2500 miles
Ramon Sanchez I change my oil every 2500 miles
Tommy Bragalone try hourly oil change intervals instead of mileage. Idle time is hard on anything more so than driving or pulling. My 6.4 I did oil changes at 180-200 hours. Manual recommended 220 hours or 5-8500 km
I have a 6.4 and it hazing out of the exhaust you can only see it if you focused on it what could cause that
What kind of haze. What color is it?
@@rasanchez169it’s like a white color but if you walk pass it you can’t see it unless you are really focus
It's the motor. Something isn't right.
@@rasanchez169 what could cause that you can’t see it
Meant barely see it
Did you delete the EGR in a DPF
‘00 7.3 745,000 mi. Died two years ago. Did nothing to it.
My all stock 6.4 has 366xxx
Damn that big
Do u still have the truck?
I just figured it out man 3 years too.late
Yeah I blew #7. Hauling ass. I believe I was a 156mph on i25 heading south. Took it to title max and got 9,000k for it. Even though they didn't know nothing about what they had given me a title loan on. Good they been screwing people over all the time.
I have the 08 6.4 extended cab with 8 ft bed.
hs mini Maxx tuner
performance radiator / inter cooler
cold air intake
aftermarket head studs
egr delete
dpf delete
straight pipe exhaust all the way to the engine
turbo piping
performance valve springs
and a few other things. those are just the main things. I'm at 143k right now. do you think this truck will last me a while if I take good care of it?
Ramon Sanchez might as well huh. lol. I drive it real easy. damn 147 is fast. not sure how fast mine was, all I know is the needle was past the 100 marker. I was racing a duramax on I-95. seeing your truck with this many miles sure is inspiring, though. I've got a video up right now, it's not a walk around, but you can still see the truck a little bit. I might post a walk around later.
Ramon Sanchez I have a video uploading now. should be done 10-15 more minutes
Just don't Race it !
@@grantacoatneysr9657 I don’t have it anymore. Got rid of it 6 months ago at 200k miles. Truck was holding up really well for 5 years, I did a bit of racing here and there ;) Then It started leaking oil which would have been a $5,000 fix so I sold it as is
RACING ENGINES THAT ARE NOT RACING ENGINES IS NOT RACING !
AND THEN GIVE THE 6.4L BAD REVIEWS ! REAL DUMB !
08 almost 200k dpf delete nothing more.
Well even some Hyundai get 200k. This guy is lucky. 6.4 has too many problems to be considered reliable.
Is it still running strong? How many miles now?
I have been talking with this guy a few weeks ago and I asked him about this 6.4 and he said it died at 982k miles,,it has an electric problem so yeah
Just got a 2010 F350 SWR 8ft bed diesel love it has 77k just put a new turbo in it cost 5 grand. i want to do some stuff to it like a brush guard idk what else to do i want to leave it stock i want to do some upgates nothing too expensive
I got a single turbo , the radiator i believe was changed im not sure so far no problems, what would cold air intake do ? If the batteries get weak im thinking about getting those yellow ones they like 400 bucks not sure how much they will be for f350 you know what im talking about. Maybe ill post a video of the truck and you can check it out
Ramon Sanchez Fuel filters get changed every year, oil changes every 3,000 miles
Ramon Sanchez im getting 10 mpg in city driving any way to increase it
Ramon Sanchez The dpf stops the fuel from going into the 7 & 8. Im worry about the turbo thing bc i just had the whole cab taken off for that turbo. What does the tune do
Ramon Sanchez they say not to run H & S tuning on the 6.4
What mount is that for the front light bar?
Sweet, thanks for the quick response boss!
no one ever said that they couldnt get up 300k unless its a chevy or dodge fan boy
you still got this truck out of curiosity?
no i blew #7 towing up a hill in mesa arizona. lasted just above 560k miles.
@@rasanchez169 What did you get to replace it?
09 all stock no delete 212k
Whats your mpg in that? 10?
My 6.4 has 18mpg so he’s probably getting 17mpg cult I have the egr deletes
People get hysterical about everything these days. Of course folks are going to have problems but a reasonably maintained 6.4 will last. Exceptions... of course but you pay to play and you can easily make a 6.4 a missile. We all know what happens to missiles in the end....
Can someone tell me what lights he installed?
Thanks for the reply! And are those the front headlights you replaced?
Didn't know it was two parts. So you sent me the hids. Can you send me the housing link?
No way in Hell.
H&S tuning will fry your engine. There's too much timing in the tune. 6.4 is more garbage than the 6.0. Time to bring back the 7.3.
you had any real big problems with it
+Ramon Sanchez thinking about getting a 08 with 190k on it. not too sure on previous maintenance. yet. go delete everything if I get it with light tune if it looks and drives good enough
how many miles on it now
Ramon Sanchez maybe ill post a video of my truck i will let you know maybe you can bc check it out
If it were not for the emissions I bet a lot more of these would have lasted. The way they did the regen on these was never going to do any good.
Yes, agreed. Ford and the others don't do what they should to clean these motors up on emissions. The DPF idea is an abortion of an idea which is anti-consumer friendly. it's a patch job and it's funded by the consumers in the USA. Complete junk just like the retro-fits the EPA forced the public to put on their 1970 gas engines, an EGR retro-fit. Heats engines up and they don't last or run correct.
Once they figure out an internal method to reduce soot, diesels will last longer. It is totally amazing how much crap is under the hood of a Ford to make them clean.
6 point 4. Not 6x4.
I'm sorry boss.
this is sad as fuck to be so happy for 327k on an oil burner.
agreed. and continued good luck with the ugly duckling 6.4
Oh yeah my 08 has 251,000 son lmfao
