I hope it goes well, the video to me kinda sounds kinda like an attempt to justify. The late great Bill Hewitt wouldn’t even touch these after having an entire shop dedicated to fix and solve all the issues with the 6.0. I do truly hope you have zero issues with the 6.4 though!
Hi Ken! Thanks for watching! Definitely a justification video. I’m sure this video will eventually find a 6.4 hater so just wanted to explain why I bought the truck. The truck was 100% stock and I read a lot about how buying a deleted truck was questionable as well since I would be inheriting “somebody else’s problem.” But that’s also the case with buying a used vehicle as well…
Get ready for the negative soy boy 6'4 comments. Most have never owned one and are toxic people.I have ran 6'4's for years and still love them because they're fun. Delete DPF, EGR and throw some head studs and Mahle pistons in and its ready. Good luck with your channel. Cheers.
Thanks for watch professor! Oh yes. I am prepared for the negative Nancy’s. I’m sure there are a lot of bad 6.4s out there. But I would think that the ones that are still around now must be still running strong or they wouldn’t be running at all!
In factory configuration 6.4 is a horrible design. Modded makes it barely adequate as far as reliability but if one needs to have that style ford body go for it. Just understand its a matter of when not if when left stock.
I personally worked for a company who bought one new in 2008 and they went through two motors in the truck we had it go in limp mode each time and then mechanic said motor was done I’d be very curious how reliable they’d be once they are deleted ect. I will say the truck never lacked in power and was smooth while towing being an f550 I believe it was the H.O. Model I’d be very curious what the specific failure on those engines was
Hey Rad. Thanks for watching! Yes, I have heard of these trucks going through 3-4 engines before the warranty was up as well. I also drive like a grandpa and I have heard if I drive like that, that will protect the truck as well. What is your knowledge of the HO 6.4? I read there were trucks that were de-tunes down to 600 pounds of torque, compared to 650 but I am unfamiliar with an HO 6.4?
Another young dude trying to claim the 6.0/6.4 engines are good. Newsflash - they're shit. I have an 08 and only bought it to Cummins swap. Start saving for the Cummins swap when the 6.4 shits the bed... because it's going to. I wish it were more reliable and I wish I didn't have so many problems but they all do. The young guys think they can overcome the problems and they aren't that bad, but it's older guys live through it all and experienced all the b******* firsthand.
6.4 is great

@@AllHatNoCattle13 325hp 650tq was max no H.O. options, like you said only detune versions for cab & chassis.
@@AllHatNoCattle13 I think the standard model is what I was probably referring to I also have heard of the detuned version

Stop trying to justify your terrible purchase buy saying “they might not be as bad as people think” when in fact, they really are. 6.4s are junk
It’s ok to be jealous. But chill jeez.

6.0s are pretty solid, 6.4s are there for a good time not a long time lol
