Can I get some posts from those who have high mileage trucks (haulers for hire and such).....how has the truck treated you? How have you treated the truck? I have only seen a few posts from people with high mileage but those were people with what sounded like serious engine issues.....I would like to hear of a high mileage going strong! I am talking over 100K

 

I have three 7.3s with over 100k on them, all the trucks needed brakes every 40k. Ball joints and tie rod ends around 130k. No motor or trans problems. All of them are lifted, run large rubber, and have tuners on them. I also have a 08 with the 6.4, only 1200 miles on it. Great truck, no problems so far

 

ok that guy has to go

 

RU kidding who is this clown!!!

 

What???? I own my own buisness. Just trying to answer the guys post. It didnt look like anyone else wanted to answer.

 

They are talking about a post that was deleted...not yours.

 

I have an 08 with 85k miles, so far I have NOT replaced the breaks (still good). I have done oil changes every 5k miles, fuel filters every 7,500 to 10k miles. I've done the rear end fluids twice now. Truck runs good, keeps leaking oil though from the oil pump seal.
It's been pulling a 48 foot enclosed trailer its entire life. No breaks for this truck, I belive my hours average out to 48 mph.

 

Thanks, Im still new here and didnt want to give anybody attitude

 

haha i was looking at that too and didn't get it, till i got to the post with the quote...

now back to explainin to this man why he should or shouldn't buy a FORD

 

I have the 6.4l PSD. I love the truck so far. I was was just wondering for the long haul so to speak how she would do. I have a Job2 to with Job1 programing (doesn't tell me when in regen). I need to check the build date of my radiator but I think I am in the clear as far as having one with a leaking clamp. I have two concerns:

1. I have been hearing people complain about rising oil and diesel in their fuel: I have a feeling that this has to do with the regen and the extra fuel pumped in to heat up the DPF. I am hoping that if DPF was turned off and a DPFectomy is done then maybe those issues are moot.

2. I have also been hearing about the 6.4 ticking sounds some have noticed after an oil change: some have had theories of what it is all the way from a bad injector causing major engine damage to a plastic lifter that has failed to it just being a tuning issue ford has with some trucks. No definetive answers yet many people report "the tick"

I can't complain, I have had mine since November 2007 and have only put 2,000 miles (truck for weekend pleasure) on so far and I am about to do the first oil change. I bought this truck with the intention of paying it off and keeping it and it makes me all warm and fuzzy to know the truck will hold up.

 

I have 35,000mi on my 2008 6.4L i'am going in on the 10/15 for my 4th radiator.
1 radiator at 5100mi, 2nd at 16,000mi, 3rd at 27,000mi.
