A buddy of mine has an 08 that is giving him issues stumbling a bit at idle. He said that he could see the rail pressure on the H&S tuner drop when it would stumble IIRC but other than that the thing runs good. I told him it was junk and that he should have purchased a 6 liter but he didn't like that answer.

My dad's truck is a 2008 6.4L. We had it regularly serviced and it's been good to us. Large loads feel like nothing behind it. But it only has 20,000 miles or so on it. He just did have to replace the radiator on it and thought that was pretty weird. IIRC there was a crack in it, and it wasn't covered under warranty. So we paid a third of the bill, the dealership paid a third, and Ford paid a third.

Chris, i'd key in on the pressure. Those things have major and repeat fuel delivery problems that take out all the injectors.
I'll be honest, I did a lot of research on the 6.4. I won't buy one. I'll wait till the 6.7 is affordable...

Hey Troy! Yeah, it sure is! But my dad was still pretty steamed about replacing a radiator at 20,000 miles. We're hoping that isn't a regular thing!
