Well I can't speak for any further than 20k miles. That is how many I have on mine now and all of them are problem free miles!
So so far we at least know the 6.4 is good for 20k, I am sure someone with higher miles will chime in!

96K. Only problems have been with the DPF. Isn't there someone on here with 170K on his? I think he still has it and just got a 2011 as well.

Mine had 142k/kms I believe when I bought it and I put 20k on it when I owned it, I did blackstone reports on it and what showed was not pretty it so I found a new crate 6.4 and had it put in on my own dime complete cause I love the truck. Still have the old one in the shop. Great truck will never sell always puts a smile on my face when I drive it.

I had 153,700 miles on mine when I traded it in. I strongly believe that the motor was good for at least another 100K. The truck was solid too, no worries on the brakes/bearings/ball joints. Heck, I still had the original brake pads on it when I traded it in.
The coolant system is what got me. After several radiators I knew that keeping the truck was not going to be enjoyable, after the 4th one I figured that the problem was never going to be fixed. Then, when the thermostats threw a code, they were stuck open, I decided to get serious about the new truck ('11).
We all have different experiences and I don't think anyone should expect my particular set of problems should be "the rule". Like I said, the engine and the truck were fantastic. Even the DPF was in good shape after all those hours/miles on it.

I had 335,000 mine when I lost compresstion in 2 cylinders with that many miles the ford tech said best thing to do is replace hole motor they wanted $20,000.00 for motor and to put it in .I ended up buying a crate motor of line and put in my self .But before that I had the high presure fuel pump replaced at 140,000 miles and it started doing the same thing again at 290,000 miles
