So long, fairwell.....

Well folks, Cowboy Steve is bitting the bullet and is gonna be takin home a new 6.4 450 truck this week. Will this be the end????? Of course not! were still gonna rock the 7.3 but the 6.4 is gonna be the new rig used for the horse transporting business, and only the horse transporting! lol, we'll see. Im excited cause now the 7.3 is my true toy and I dont have to worry about startin my twin turbo project and not havin somethin to drive if I didnt get it done. Its gonna be a great summer

Cowboy Steve

oh no you've been suckered in, the 6.4 is still a 6.0 dont let anybody fool you it will be plauged with problems as the 6.0 was, the only major change was eliminating the hpop and goin to twin turbos, but the twin setup is still actuated by an oil moved rod and the low turbo is still vgt by oil, the egr system still sucks and will melt, as will the head gaskets, they only added 2 extra bolts per head, i have all the blueprints and diagrams, please dont anybody else fall for it.
