After having a rather problematic 6.0 and getting it working correctly with everything needed (headstuds, EGR block off, custom tunes) I wouldnt hesitate to get a 6.4 and get rid of all the DPF, add a tuner, and make it get the fuel mileage its capable of.

I have a question for you laredo. I understand wanting to do mods but when you do one that is going to void the warranty what is it that you are going to do when something happens to the motor and you have to pay for it youself?? It just seems strange that we ( yes I want to do it also ) will do this and void the warranty on an unproven motor. I just hope nobody junks a motor then has to pay for another one out of pocket.

i personally would not want a new truck i would take a 7.3 powerstroke over a 6.0,6.4. now all the new diesel are running low rpms to get fuel milage if you take an old 6.9 or 7.3 and lower the rpms to about 1,500-2,000 in final drive put a turbo on it you would get better fuel milage then spending $50,000 on a new diesel. if you converted it to wvo and mixed it yourself you would be amazed. Just my 2 cents

No matter what you buy, you will have to make changes to get your money's worth out of it. My stock 1986 diesel got 12 MPG at best when I bought it, now I can get 16 MPG while towing, with more power, and at higher speeds. Not sure what it gets empty right now.
If there is a way to get rid of the DPF, than that might be the way to go, but I personally would go for the 7.3L if I was considering a powerstroke. Way more bang for your buck, and plenty of room to grow. As I said before, a new car/truck warranty is not worth what it used to be, theres just too many things that can go wrong with newer more "advanced" vehicles.

No where near as much bang for your buck with the 7.3, the 6.4 is putting out numbers that even the 7.3 couldn't dream of doing and it is surrounded by twice the truck, the refinements and improvements made to the trucks themselves over the years are worth the extra cost of the fuel in m opinion.

Bookem, here is what you wrote in another 6.7 thread - you will have to be more consistent my friend - you question why I would do mods, then you say If more power is required, go to the aftermarket
After reading all the stuff on what people think about the price of diesel and all the new emissions crap on these motors I wonder if Ford will get wise and make this motor get decent MPG's?? They can at least make it better than the 6.4 can't they?? Only time will tell. Those people who want huge amounts of HP and TRQ can go buy it in the aftermarket

I will take crappy exhaust and common rail injection over a good exhaust and the HEUI setup.

That truck was converted to a commonrail injection setup off of an international I believe. Fully custom and I read an article that didn't give an exact number but it was over $100k.

Ford has it on the 6.4. This is how the duramaxes and cummins make so much power and injectors are so much cheaper. Unfortunately they have been using common rail for a long time.
As for converting one. I hope you are a millionaire and really like the 7.3 but 100k is more than I'm going to spend on a 7 year old truck.
