How many trouble free miles do you all have on your 6.4. No matter where I look I see problems with the new diesels. Who has lots of trouble free miles. Lets hear about them and how happy you are! Would you buy again and would you buy over a gas if you did it again.

 

53K. Currently on the road with the 5er crossing the mountains. Thrilled to death with it and would buy another one tomorrow if something happened to this one.

 

Currently on my way back from Colorado to Central Texas. I have traveled over 2000 miles and notta problem. In fact, I am thrilled at the power and ease of handling and driving. Averaging 11 mph pullng a 32 ft 13,500 5er and pulled it 65 mph over Raton pass both ways.

 

Currently have 17,XXX on mine. Unfortunately I am overseas right now and cant drive it

I bought it in Tacoma Washington, and drove it home to FL. I had 16k on it total in about the first three months. For comparison my last new vehicle a 2003 Jeep Wrangler was at the dealer many times before that mileage. I haven't even had so much as a hiccup from the truck.

 

36K on mine, short of a bad TCM when I bought it, it has been trouble free. Will have owned it two years in just a couple of weeks.

Driven it clean accross the country East to West...well stopped in Arizona, close enough right!

 

47,000 trouble free miles. I drive about 20-30 miles a day and love every minute I am at the helm of this beauty. I came from a 05' 6.0 and feel this truck runs circles around it.

 

151,000 as of right now, I tend to average 700-1000 miles per week all towing work trailers or our RV camper.

Trouble Free? That's a hard one to answer, I could say that I get 35,000 - 45,000 miles of trouble free service. Look at it this way: Radiator change interval is about 35K miles on my truck. It's like getting an oil change for me. Right now I have a new radiator but I am losing coolant on the back of the engine, it leaks right on the front drive shaft u-joint. I have not figured it out yet. So, it's all coolant stuff for me which is not a real big deal because she has not left me stranded yet.

Otherwise, yes 151,000 happy miles - driving the best truck I could find. It's towing manners are unbelievable. Never a gasser again for me.

 

I only have 2000 on mine and most of that is towing. Very happy so far. Of course I still love my 06 6.0 that has 86000 on it and was trouble free until I blew a hight pressure oil line last month. Fixed under warranty and is running great. I gave the 06 to my wife and she loves it. It gets better MPG then her 04 Mazda RX8 did and the Mazda had to run high test.

 

I'm just about 17k miles since Sept last year, bought used. We have a show car, and tow it all over.. Last year with our suburban.. 3500 miles right at the towing limit.. white knuckle, couldn't use cruise
So the diesel was to enable us to do all this, and maybe haul a dual car trailer (40-48ft gooseneck)..

First Diesel, dually too.. we just completed two trips, 1300 miles, and 2200 miles in back to back weeks.. and its amazing.. did I say that loud enough AMAZING!!..cruise at 75-80, with 7000lbs bumper pull behind and it just GOES!!.. no hill worry, no stress compared to before.. we covered 840miles in one day.. cause it was easy..

MPG Dually 8.9, suburban 6.1, 45.9% improvement

I'd do it again in an instant..

I have learned that a diesel, crew cab, long bed is a challenge to park!..
I gave up my 06 F150, crew shortbed..

I have a Job 1 2008 f250. Just had my 25k service done. Last winter I had o-ring replaced in my power steering pump. Other than that, no problems. This is a dream truck. I try to drive on the highway every time it begins to regen, about every 150-200 miles. Typically I get 12-13 mpg in town, and 16-18 on the road. MPGs getting better all the time. I try to keep it under 2000 rpm's on the road, and watch the turbo trying not to go over 10 psi, especially in town.

 

34K on mine, bought it used with 22k on it..Had a 95 7.3 liter before, this has tons more power, I use it primarily to tow a 9500 # trailer which it does effortlessly, have towed it up 7 and 8% grades in Arizona and Utah. I'll never own a gasser again.. I average 11.5 mpg towing and can get 16 + running empty, not to bad for a dually with a 4.3 rear end.. I hear lots of people complain about the mileage.. Not me, it does better than I figured it would..I bought an exptended warranty to cover potential radiator issues, none so far..

 

11.5 towing? dually, (17in wheels) and 4.30??!! tell me how.. I am at 9mpg (hand calc) with 7000# (at 75mph).. flat front, bumper pull, car hauler, mostly flat terrain.. 14.1 hiway...

I baby it...I tow at 60-62 mph... That's hand calculated over 1000's of miles of towing.... When I first got it I towed at 70 moh, I didn't like the mileage, so I slowed down, big improvement... I found that I'm not in that big a hurry anyway.....

 

ok, got it..

I have an 08 with 76000 miles. One EGR valve and one 02 sensor. Both were covered under warranty. Love my truck, hate the Regens!
