I assume you are talking about the 6.4 psd?
If so then I will tell you this:
Bought mine in August. Love the truck. Performs as advertise. Mileage is a little rough because of the EPA stuff. But compared to what I had before (06 F250 5.4 Gasser) It is no comparison. Like nite and day.
Have had a couple of warranty issues, but most every new truck I have owned has had a couple of issues and then things settle down and we are good. Never left me on the side of the road and when it came time to work we were ready.

if u have always had a gas truck, why the sudden urge to switch to the diesel ???
the V10 is a fantastic motor..
but either motor will easily do anything u need it to do.. once u jump into a 250 or bigger ur buying one serious truck...
keep in mind the diesel costs more to buy, more to service/repair and more to fuel up...
if ur hauling HEAVY all the time go diesel if ur hauling either occasionaly or lighter weight then seriously look into a V10 powered truck...

I'm ducking right about now but first off, I hate the new grill!
But more substantially, I would never buy a new vehicle. Especially now, there are more than enough two-year-old, low mileage trucks that are going at low prices and still have plenty of life in them and warranties (or you can get a factory warranty for them). They'll come in any variety you want (engine/trans. combos) and you can Oasis the truck to see if there are constant issues so far.
Also, I don't use mine for work non-stop, only on occasion. I know that makes a difference.
