Smooth Motor

I'm very impressed with the smoothness of the 6.4 at idle. With the hood open and the engine running, I can put a finger on some part of the engine and feel really no vibration. Amazing! My 6.0 was not like that. Good job International.

And the ride is just as smooth, powerful and solid as a rock. Sorry GM but new FORD is much more like a rock.

I would have to say that I really like the engine. Runs great, and even better with a tuner. The ride and options on these trucks are wonderful. With a doubt, this is the nicest truck I have ever owned!!!

That's because your 97 was excellent as well

I figured I'd need to add an underhood blanket, but no real reason.
