Is there many high mileage low issue 6.4s out there?
#17
Hey! i have a 120,000miles on my 09 6.4L and its still stock.
just came off warranty and im looking at doing the egr/dpf delete and tune. my truck runs like a top still, transmission was rebuilt under warranty at 80,000 and couple of u-joints. other than that not a problem.
my buddy has a 6.0L and hes in the shop once a month. i think if my 6.4 ever blows up ill just throw another motor in it. i heard you can get brand new 6.4L motor for 6,000bux. 60-70K dollar truck and u can havea new motor for 6? im in. must say ill never drive anything but a diesel again.
Hope this helps you out, dont be intimidated by horror stories.

Right out of the gate, the 6.4 uses more fuel. That is one major expense of owning the vehicle.
Programmers cost at least 1000$
Thats barely scratching the surface, start deleting EGR coolers and stuff, ad theres already a huge initial difference.

right out of the gate the 6.4 has almost twice the horsepower, four to five times the comfort but your right, it does use a little more fuel thanks to emissions. The 7.3 was overbuilt which was great for longevity but I only found about a 3 mpg difference between our old 7.3 and my stock 6.4. My best fuel mileage was my 6.0 liter but it was ticking time bomb.

I currently have 63,000 miles on my 6.4 and the only issue I have had is the thermostat in the radiator. The radiator was replaced and all has been good. The dealership I go through says there is a local construction company that has several 6.4's and are pushing over 200,000 miles with no issues.

By no means high mileage yet, but at 39K, my '10 has had both blend doors go bad on 2 different occasions and a leaking steering box. That's about it.
The blend door ticking seems to be a common problem; fortunately they went bad just before my 3/36K expired. Had to get the dash pulled out to fix them both times.
