This is why I am waiting till 2009 to buy mine so you guys get all the bugs worked out and I know what to avoid with mine. Plus my existing truck will be long paid off and and I will have a year or so to save up for a down payment.

I'm with you Fire Rooster -

Wait a year or two for the 6.4 to get the bugs out. Hate to spend all that $$$ to have it in the dealer's garage for one thing or another.

I'm patient. I'll wait.

Thats good to here but you can buy a 6.8L now and it doesn't smoke, stall, idle rough, leave you sitting on the side of the road, it runs real quite, has a $5000 discount and will pull amazing RPMs (its nothin to see 4000-4500rpms!!!!). Holy cow that sounds like an amazing motor, boy am I glad I bought one a couple of years ago!!

I think it will really be a 6.397. Then four years later Ford will be nice to us and give us all a new truck that is a 6.403 to make up for their bad math and marketing.

So beat the rush and call Jeff to order one now!

See, I told you you had some catching up to do. But because of your hiatis, you are behind. The 6.397 is what is being offered in 47 conus. The 6.403 is currently only offered in Texas, cause as you well know everything is bigger inTexas.

True the 6.403 is only a Texus issued engine because the cattle horns on the hood create to much drag.....

I adjust the variable displacement dial on my new 6.4 so it reads 6.0 and I can tell myself I am driving the best diesel engine on the market.
