what kind of problems are people having with these new 6.4s i just got mine and it is just under 2000 miles and i noticed mine jumps and bucks under a heavy load ive also heard people are scatering motors and international wont warranty the truck im just curious as to what is going on thanks moyerboy

 

????? scatering ????

 

6000 miles, not one warranty claim on mine. When I picked up mine in August (made in April), I asked the techs if they's seen a bunch of 6.4's coming through for warranty work. They all looked at each other as if they were trying to remember. One said, "yes, we saw a couple come back that were early production models with a radiator leak and the oil leak around one of the turbos, but that's it." (all known issues and TSB's exist) Apparently, they haven't seen hardly any coming back for engine warranty service work. That is a good sign. Yes, there will be trucks that have problems, but I believe the 6.4 rollout has been successful so far and your odds of failure are low.

I tow a 12k lb 5th wheel. The bed sags about two inches with the 5th wheel on it and has an inch before it touches the stop. I fixed that by adding Timbren rubber springs. The truck tows my camper like it isn't back there and the Timbrens add additional support for the springs. I don't perceive a lot of bucking and jerking.

scatter means the motor jsut destroys its self like when a you would hear of a dozeron the gas opatch running off and then scattering the motor just flys apart and thanks guys i think im going 2 go and try 2 take my full exhaust off and make it straight and if it blows up ill put it back on b4 i take it into the dealer

 

it won't run good without the dpf

 

what is the dpf and will it run with no cat and muffler

 

always good to see when someone buys a truck/car and knows nothing about it.

 

From all indications, I would say that these things you have "heard" is nothing but Bull$%#. There are too many SDs out there, and I have never heard of this before. I am sure not every SD owner is on the site, but we would be aware if this were happening.

 

Radiator came apart already, and now it's leaking oil up front. I haven't had it 2 months yet. Small problems I know, but I need this beast on the road not in the shop. Hopefully this will be it and I won't be having anymore issues.

 

Well, I hope so too. I really is a nice, nice truck.

I have about 3000 Miles on mine, and not one problem. (knock on wood). By not paying attention, I even put some LSD in it a while back and didn't seem to bother it a bit until I could get some ULSD back into it.

 

sorry i dont know much about the new 6.4 everyoner around me has dodge cummins or the old 7.3 i got the new truck cause i get the z plan from ford

 

Well, I bought my 350 SD, I didn't know a Diesel from a barn door. Have to start somewhere!

 

I have owned mine for 3 months now and not one problem with it. Love MY TRUCK!!!!!!!! Great power and pulls my trailer like not even back their.

 

Ditto 7 months over 5,000, with 2,000 towing. No problems and my two buddies haven't had one problem either. Some trucks are going to have problems, because they are now so complicated.

 

Over 15K on mine and runs like a champ, no problems at all. Even pulled a broken down semi, that supposedly weighed over 40,000 lbs. Towed him 30 miles at 70 mph in OD gear and she didn't even struggle, and actually accelerated going up a hill when I shifted down to 4th. Awesome truck, tons of power if you know how to plant it.
