If recall right from the thread that got this going there where no other 6.0s that wanted to step up to the pump. And the 6.4s are to new (85+K miles where asked for in the other thread.) Don't kill the messenger read the other thread, ALL the pages or sit back and enjoy the results of this thread. It's not to bash one of the engines it's just a little fun real world experiences at the pump/miles and cost of repairs for a variety of trucks that did step up to the pump.

Exactly as scraprat said, we had the test open to anyone who had 80,000 miles and was 7.3l, 6.0l, or V10. The test was open to all participants for two weeks.
We decided against the 6.4l because they were too new and not directly comparable to older trucks with higher mileage. This test is just for fun and to provide real-world numbers to the longevity debate.
Participants-nice pics and trucks
