Question about 6.4 durability.

Hey question,
Is 85,000 miles a lot for 08 F 450? How long will these engines go?
Thanks
Nick

Every powerstroke I've owned has had over 200,000 when I got rid of it, and they all ran perfectly. The majority of repairs were brakes and minor stuff. 85,000 is barely broke in, you should be absolutly fine. Best diesels on the market.

What type of mileage are you getting after 85K miles. Has it improved as mileaged increased?
I have an 08 450 as well..with only 15K miles.
