My neighbor passed (88yrs old) and she gave me her 2008 Silver F250 SuperCab 2 wheel drive 6.4 to me with 73k miles. If you didn't know any better you would have thought it was a time capsule because it looks and runs like brand new. Has that tan/beige colored interior. Not a lick of rust on it anywhere. It got parked from October to May every year. She only used it to pull her horse trailer in the summer. I'll have to park it next to my other superdutys and hopefully get a couple hundred miles on it a year.
So as a Ford tech, we hate the 6.4 extremely. I cant tell you how many customers come in with a 6.4 they got a “good deal” on and come to find the injector the guy they bought it from said it needed is actually a burnt piston. Key issues with 6.4s I see: - HPFP seal leaking, contaminating the oil with fuel and if you arent paying attention itll ruin the motor. This alone has killed hundreds of these engines. - Water pump poking a hole in the front cover and contaminating the oil with water and tearing the motor up. Have done so many front covers on these its not funny. - Turbocharger failure, either seals failing pumping engine oil out of the tailpipe. Have also seen many miscellaneous issues with both high and low pressure turbos. - HPFP failure requiring full fuel system replacement. - No bushing in the small end of the connecting rods so over time the wrist pin gathers enough slack to produce abnormal engine noise. Also makes them non rebuildable. - EGR cooler failure filling cylinder 8 with coolant and when the customer goes to start the engine bends a rod. - Cracked pistons. The theory is that the Navistar Maxxforce pistons are an improvement but it’s unrealistic to expect a customer to replace them all instead of just buying a better truck. And to be honest I havent seen cracked pistons super commonly. - Rocker arm failure, tips failing off. Theres just so much that goes wrong with these engines and theyre all so expensive and many times catastrophic. They will show no mercy to your bank account. They do have an ability to absolutely pour the power to the ground because the fuel system can provide so much fuel (WAY more than is ever needed) and the turbos will eat it up and produce. But the cost of doing that and keeping it just isnt worth it. Nothing bugs me more than when people tell others to go buy one because “its not as bad as they say”. Usually younger guys that think deleting them is a guarantee automatic reliability button. Every customer with these turds says the same thing “but it was a great price” and desperately regrets it even though we’ve warned them before buying it. I hate it for them but hey you can lead a horse to water, but you cant make it drink.
So I'm not a Ford Tech but I have bought, built, owned 17 6.4s. Almost all of them I got really cheap because they were misdiagnosed by a Ford Tech. My current single cab daily has little over 500k, and ran 11.23 at 126mph at Wild Horse. That truck I purchased with a " bad motor" " cracked #8 " . That purchase was 300k miles ago and that " bad piston" and junk motor are still right there under the hood, still getting beat on daily . My other current 6.4 was a border security truck, before it was an 800hp 9 1/2 foot tall 40 inch tire shreader. Paid pennies for that and all the interior upgrades, truck has more options than a 6.7 platinum and still scares the hell out of any 1st time passenger 5 years later. So thank you for constantly and consistently making assumptions, completing your diagnostic assessment immediately at the first DTC code you see, not knowing anything about tuning, or the junk one size fits all delete tunes thats been passed around and relabled for these trucks for 17 years, rarely anything about coding, forscan and never taking the time to think beyond its a 6.4 so it must be this . The cheaper they get the more fun I'll have with them. 🤘😂
@BuckingHorse-Bull dealers and technicians aren't structured to save money even if thier intentions are good they just aren't going to look as deep, as some owner who doesn't have or want to put money into their vehicle. As technicians get more experience and vehicles under their belt they begin to assume and conclude alot because of the experience they had. The 6.4 is pretty strait forward, but combined with emissions, and the brand new " buy a plug and play tuner" market emerged ,exploded. Tunes written by software engineers with little to know mechanical knowledge, for a truck built by Ford and an engine built by International brand new to the world. Than with first time emissions systems thrown on last minute to keep the EPA happy. What could go wrong? Oh and Ford and International were done , just dealing with 6.0 lawsuits, remaining contract. They already had thier 6.7 ready to debut , so do you think they spent alot of time and money training technicians on truck production that was a last minute 6.0 legal Remedy before they could launch thier own engine. 🤷♂️
I had a 2008 6.4 and loved it. Bought it with a blown motor only one piston came out in a single piece just because the crack didn’t make it through the last ring land. Built it up with the delipped pistons, updated rockers and lifters, studs the whole nine. Would frequently hang 20k lbs on the gooseneck and roll and that engine loved it. Never ran the hottest tune, just the 150 hp. Unfortunately black ice took it away. Upgraded to a 6.7 and at times miss that 6.4 because I would consistently get 16 mpgs around town hand calculated and at 75 mph would average 23 mpgs hand calculated. My 6.7 struggles to get even close to that, but it tows like a monster and the exhaust brake is much stronger. So trade offs I can live with.
6.4 powerstrokes with the right parts fallen off are super reliable I have one 2008 f250 with the 6.4 diesel and been unrestricted since day one since where I live in California we don’t have smog and it’s the original engine and original transmission and I have 198k miles now and still going strong and everything is stock besides the parts that fell off to restrict the flow
@stevenbrooks1243 right the e.g.r. Just I guess rusted off without the whole block doing the same and the dpf must have met the tooth fairy or got tired of it's job to bad guess we get to go vroom vroom now let those turbos wurle
@@powerstrokecentral WHYYYY ??? cmon... get it and turn the pump up and put compounds on it off a 6.4 ofc u need to get one thats 94.5 tho unless u wanna put a intercooler etc in it but cmonnn im so curious about it.. thats one of a kind video
My 6.4 blew at 310,000mi. Oil changes every 5k miles. What happened was oil cooler blewup and I got chocolate milk. I do recommend BulletProofDiesel oil cooler upgrade for it. I plan on Cummins swapping mine soon 5.9 24v.
It didn’t “blow up” then. My 6.0 did the same thing. One of the O-rings in the oil cooler let go. Flushed everything, replaced oil cooler/gaskets and she’s good to go. I think the big key with these motors is to know how to work on them yourself. If you’re clueless behind the wrench these trucks are not for you.
We have a 2008 f-350 with a 6.4 where I work. it is constantly hooked to a gooseneck, all it does is pull equipment. its regularly pulling 14-15k with the most it ever pulls being close to 18.5k. Bone stock, still has all the emissions systems and everything. It's never let us down lol
I have owned a 2008 6.4 since 2011. I haven't had many problems, but there was one major issue. The EGR cooler on my 6.4 started leaking coolant into the intake after about 50k miles... That created a lot of problems with the DPF clogging with burned coolant. After finding that issue, I did an EGR and DPF delete and the difference is night/day (Paying almost $3k to clean or replace a DPF was just a non-starter for me). If not for the extensive "Emissions Control" garbage that were added to the 6.4, it would have been a solid engine. I blame the poorly implemented emission control measures for these Powerstrokes having the reputation that they do.
@@kicker_leopard8685I know it sounds far fetch but i honestly believe that the automates had something to do with the emissions control it wasn't seen as a problem before hand and they had to have known about the effect particulate matter has before hand yet by some magical even in 07 they start "discovering" the type of harm particulate matter has my theory the auto companies worked with the three letter agencies and started developing "emissions control devices" and had them make it law since diesel vehicle were one of the most reliable pieces of hardware out their and seeing how long they could go when properly maintain someone said fuck that and wanted to make and extra dollar eversince they started doing this the life span of the diesel engine went into the shitter engines are being replaced with less then 80,000. Miles on It maybe more if your lucky but the cost to maintain them has gone up and then here comes the electric car and the political push for that so called zero emissions it just feels a little like we are being hearded along like cattle and being told to go with it if the emissions were so bad why is it that these companies didn't invest into better pistons, like speed of air or turbos with bigger inlets to allow better air flow or things like lift pumps use less feul mean less soot which means less emissions allow for better air curculation nope instead let's gag it choke it and when it finally blows up within the warranty period you scrape the block and put a new one in it to repeat the process why is it that we have to live in a throw away society people want to talk about the environment but have no issue burying garbage in mountain tops throwing away materials that can use more efficiently the one thing that makes me want to chuck a tablet across the room I engineers speaking about making thier engines more efficient yet their using more feul increasing temperature which melts and put a lot of unnecessary stress on everything because their paid to why can't we be smarter with way we live Is what autistic ass is trying get at why gotta live like idiots we are humans with a mind that has no boundaries yet we are to busy fighting each other in the realm of politics starting wars that makes no sense but because money we look a little how you say dumb I honestly hope we as a species wise up in the future I know it's just and engine but it goes beyond the engine and goes towards society as a whole we are being sheep and are being scared into the line with everyone else can't do this because that will cause "climate issues" can't say that because some will feel oppressed or discriminated against it just seems more like we are "doing as we are told" and this suppose to be the "land of the free home of the brave"
Just pulled my cab and chassis 6.4 12 hours round trip with my idi turbo… it did great and now I’m loving my new 6.4. Makes me nervous to drive it but it’s hard to beat the power and the sound from a 6 speed 6.4!
Haha yeah might not even be 10k behind that 6.4. Should hook up a gooseneck with a 308e on it with several attachments and a fuel cell in the bed. Will need heavier leaf springs. Or maybe 16k lb of hay.
6.4 is actually one of the best powerstroke engines, they can make 700hp with stock internals, head studs, deleted and tuned. They got a bad rep because they were the first powerstokes with a dpf and used over fueling on cylinders 7&8 for the regen instead of def and a injector in the exhaust.
i cant believe how many people still think 6.0's and 6.4's were and still are so horrible, for all the issues the early 00's diesel trucks, powerstrokes were by far the least costful to fix
Oh theres much more wrong to them than that. Still replacing engines in these things. 6.0s issues dont usually result in total engine destruction like a 6.4s will.
@sae4071 bypass filter or external filter which is better for cooling and depending on the filter brand you get better cleaning and can also add more oil for longer lasting and better cooling.
You can definitely launch it harder! I had a 08 6.4, before I wrecked it:( and I ran H&S tunes. Ran a 250hp tune, launched it at 26 pounds of boost and got my 0-60 at a 5.1.
It has nothing to do with the pistons not being made well, it’s a flawed fuel bowl design that causes piston 7 and 8 not to be able to handle the egt heat during regen and a flawed intake manifold causing flawed cool air supply to those pistons. The pistons themselves are very strong the flawed design just causes them to crack
Diesels are so surprising with fuel mileage and performance. My 08 megacab with an s400, 100hp injectors, dual injection pumps made 700hp and I see 24mpg often with cruise set at 80mph
The main reason why these 6.4 engines break is because when it cleans the exhaust it dumps more fuel into the 2nd piston and melts the rings over time then also dumps fuel into the dpf system to burn crap off so the best thing to do is remove the dpf system and then give it a tune then they run forever! My 6.4 is on 390,000 and still on my first engine i have a 2008 F350 Lariat 6.4.
The madness continues 😂 more obs content!!!! I re watched all the videos. The plan for the truck or at least the time frame for sll the stuff you wanted to do has changed forsure ❤ i have a ton of random little obs projects to work on down here in league city. If you ever come down theres a ton of obs repair type content you can film🎉 door pins door panel repair kit steering column and drivers controls parts. All the stuff most of these heavily used fords need, mine needs all of it. Have a ton of parts but two other cars to work on at home and a 3 year old to raise (stay at home dad). My time is limited but we can forsire film some obs stuff with my truck if you want.
I bought the 6.4 truck from my work, towed excavators and skid steers from day 1, got deleted at 60k and I bought it at 348k when it started drinking coolant, did a full rebuild with maxxforce 7 pistons and runs top notch, will probably get another 350k out of it
I used to get 24 mpg empty on highway with my 6.0 in summer months. 4x4 crew cab long bed. Truck had over 500,000 miles and rain like new when I sold it.
My dad had a 6.4 dually with a service body (full of tools). Man that truck would really run good. Over the time he had it he did put three engines in it. 😂
@6:03 Never trust the factory MPG "Lie-o-meter". They are generally a little more consertive than the actual mileage. My factory meter will often show about 16.7-17.0 MPG when my actuals are closer to 15.7 or 16MPG... Still, I have never been anything but pleased with the fuel milage I have been able to attain with the 6.4. It gets even better if you keep speed at 55MPH; seeing a lot of 23.0MPG or better at that speed. Keep those cruising RPM under about 2,000 RPM and be happy with that 500+ Mile refuel range.
I have a 97 obs with a 7.3 and its been great so far and also a 5 speed. I do want 160/0 injectors which will be a huge bump in power but not gonna blow my truck up either.
I'm just saying, I've hauled a 1 ton Ram twice now with my 2017 1500 Ram with a Hemi and could easily hold 70mph so I don't think that load is as extremely hard on that 6.4 as you think. hook up to a tandem dually gooseneck with a big load of lumber on it! that's what I used to haul every day with my 03 cummins with 350k on it.
My crew cab 17 6.7 ps did 0-60 in 5.14 on a 200hp ampd tune only. Might depend on your elevation though. Im running a 230hp ampd max effort tune now and haven’t retested it
it may be studded. its still missing oring heads. then it would be fully studded properly. same goes for the 6.0 its a must especially when youre running as much boost and as much fuel as you are. needs oring heads
My dad had a f350 2008 Harley Davidson edition. And he bumper pulled a 28ft zinger trailer from Vancouver bc to Disney Land and back with no issues. Back in 2012. Stock everything
For the dually that probably should have been on a gooseneck trailer. That's a lot of weight to have on the hitch without weight distribution. Saw a person pulling like that one time with class 4 frame mounted hitch but the removable hitch ball setup they used was only rated for 5000 lbs. That's sketchy. Awesome find on a 6.4L truck for $7500 that isn't beaten to shit.
How to make em last remove egr stuff and exhaust restrictions and detune the ecu for lower hp and torque to save the pistons and reduce injection pressure there that all should make it last.
The real question is it might be studded but you're going to need to replace those Pistons. You're going to find out the hard way. But you're ahead of the game you got a way to lift the cab.
I have a 99 f250 superduty. Planning on installing new injectors . What are the biggest injectors I can install without having to do other engine mods?
this guy is a real genius... he doesn't know which one is more accurate between the averaging onboard fuel economy computer or the exact measured number from the fuel pump and the exact mileage from the odometer that gives you exact mathematical numbers. Just think, this guy has a shop and does inspections for the public...
The pump is not always accurate either is the computer especially for a 17 year old truck. I have been measuring fuel economy both ways for the 4 other diesel trucks I own. There is really no way to determine the actual fuel economy unless you are in a perfect scenario. Bigger tires wind conditions and what gas pump you fill up at all play a factor in fuel economy. I’d like to hear how you measure perfect fuel economy with your mathematical equation. I also used those numbers as a comparison between what is on the computer and what is at the pump.
@@powerstrokecentralyou don’t get to see those factors broken down cause it’s a total, but gallons filled at a pump and hand calculation is very accurate to what your getting for fuel mileage, yes pumps are a factor that do change but it’s not very much, depending on state gas pumps are proved/calibrated every 1 to 2 years, I work for a measurement company, hand calculation vs on board computer is far more accurate

@sae4071 bypass filter or external filter which is better for cooling and depending on the filter brand you get better cleaning and can also add more oil for longer lasting and better cooling.
@@zinkamkamzin do they come with cartridge filters? Makes sense to bypass those
You can definitely launch it harder! I had a 08 6.4, before I wrecked it:( and I ran H&S tunes. Ran a 250hp tune, launched it at 26 pounds of boost and got my 0-60 at a 5.1.
I think the 6.4 Powerstroke is the best sounding one. I loved my 6.4 Powerstroke.
Ive had my 08 6.4 for about 2 months now and ive loved it so far. No problems
Upgrade the trans filter replace round one as well and let the Trans warm up always. Have 08
I’ve had em all. The 6.0 is the best sounding Diesel ever. To me. But I got my heart and wallet busted on one bad.
It has nothing to do with the pistons not being made well, it’s a flawed fuel bowl design that causes piston 7 and 8 not to be able to handle the egt heat during regen and a flawed intake manifold causing flawed cool air supply to those pistons. The pistons themselves are very strong the flawed design just causes them to crack
Yessir spot on lol
Diesels are so surprising with fuel mileage and performance. My 08 megacab with an s400, 100hp injectors, dual injection pumps made 700hp and I see 24mpg often with cruise set at 80mph
A deleted 6.4 is very strong pulling a load.
Congrats bro! I absolutely love the way 6.4s look. But I’m terrified of their complexity and reliability. I will be following to see what happens!
cant wait to see what you do with it! they really arent bad trucks if maintained right
The main reason why these 6.4 engines break is because when it cleans the exhaust it dumps more fuel into the 2nd piston and melts the rings over time then also dumps fuel into the dpf system to burn crap off so the best thing to do is remove the dpf system and then give it a tune then they run forever! My 6.4 is on 390,000 and still on my first engine i have a 2008 F350 Lariat 6.4.
The madness continues 😂 more obs content!!!! I re watched all the videos. The plan for the truck or at least the time frame for sll the stuff you wanted to do has changed forsure ❤ i have a ton of random little obs projects to work on down here in league city. If you ever come down theres a ton of obs repair type content you can film🎉 door pins door panel repair kit steering column and drivers controls parts. All the stuff most of these heavily used fords need, mine needs all of it. Have a ton of parts but two other cars to work on at home and a 3 year old to raise (stay at home dad). My time is limited but we can forsire film some obs stuff with my truck if you want.
Time to oil up
I love my 6.4. I understand why their so cheap but you build them right they can be a badass work horse or drag truck
I bought the 6.4 truck from my work, towed excavators and skid steers from day 1, got deleted at 60k and I bought it at 348k when it started drinking coolant, did a full rebuild with maxxforce 7 pistons and runs top notch, will probably get another 350k out of it
SoCal or odawg compound turbo kit is calling the 6.0’s nameeeee do it do it!
I used to get 24 mpg empty on highway with my 6.0 in summer months. 4x4 crew cab long bed. Truck had over 500,000 miles and rain like new when I sold it.
The pistons crack or melt, compound turbo issues, leaking pump, non deleted trucks had emissions issues, lots more.
the 6.4 is a powerhouse. i love mine i just put a big single on it and im lookin forward to seeing what your gonna do to this beast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Almost sounds like that guy from the 80’s and 90’s on WWE. Ric Flair WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
My dad had a 6.4 dually with a service body (full of tools). Man
that truck would really run good. Over the time he had it he did put three engines in it. 😂
I’ve been waiting so long for you to do a 6.4 and it has came I can’t wait to see the build and that truck usually dosent cause that much problems
Dragging the trailer light plug lol
@6:03 Never trust the factory MPG "Lie-o-meter". They are generally a little more consertive than the actual mileage. My factory meter will often show about 16.7-17.0 MPG when my actuals are closer to 15.7 or 16MPG... Still, I have never been anything but pleased with the fuel milage I have been able to attain with the 6.4. It gets even better if you keep speed at 55MPH; seeing a lot of 23.0MPG or better at that speed. Keep those cruising RPM under about 2,000 RPM and be happy with that 500+ Mile refuel range.
So that’s why you asked about buying mine. You’re gonna love having a 6.4
I have a 97 obs with a 7.3 and its been great so far and also a 5 speed. I do want 160/0 injectors which will be a huge bump in power but not gonna blow my truck up either.
I'm just saying, I've hauled a 1 ton Ram twice now with my 2017 1500 Ram with a Hemi and could easily hold 70mph so I don't think that load is as extremely hard on that 6.4 as you think. hook up to a tandem dually gooseneck with a big load of lumber on it! that's what I used to haul every day with my 03 cummins with 350k on it.
been waiting for this 🙏🙏
Excited for this. I had good luck with mine. Loved it but was uneasy every day about the pistons, especially it being a job 1.
My crew cab 17 6.7 ps did 0-60 in 5.14 on a 200hp ampd tune only. Might depend on your elevation though. Im running a 230hp ampd max effort tune now and haven’t retested it
it may be studded. its still missing oring heads. then it would be fully studded properly. same goes for the 6.0 its a must especially when youre running as much boost and as much fuel as you are. needs oring heads
You have the best year of the 6.4 for going fast just add fuel
Is a Ford Excursion on your list for the channel. It would be really cool.
Yes a ford excursion would be nice
I think 6.0 excursion would be fire
@@ThatLow_Slow5.3lol 6.0?? I own a 7.3 excursion straight pipe, that is bomb
Need to do a big single turbo, the 6.4s sound so mean with a big single.
Big single is a downgrade
Compounds are perfect on them
Big single is stepping backwards. Just get a bigger low pressure turbo, and keep the high pressure turbo.
My dad had a f350 2008 Harley Davidson edition. And he bumper pulled a 28ft zinger trailer from Vancouver bc to Disney Land and back with no issues. Back in 2012. Stock everything
Cant wait for this build series
Got to pick some wild fabric print for the headliner! Either zebra or leopard 😂
Awesome video! Now you need to remake the video of best sounding powerstroke! You had the 6.4 ranked last🔥🔥
I'm so happy you got one my fav powerstroke s400 would be sweet
The 6.4 has a bad rap but I've had good luck with mine and it's been a great truck. I did go through a set of turbos but that about it.
Lol. Kid said "towing a shit ton of weight..." an 8k dually on a trailer like that is maybe 11,000# MAX.
Motors usually die around 200k I guess if you baby it they last longer but the rocker arms are made of brass so they wear away no matter what
I hope he does some kc fusions or something, everyone does a single turbo swap 🙄
Then you have a cracked out 6.0 bark
@@Cb_boyz24not with the compoud turbos
For the dually that probably should have been on a gooseneck trailer. That's a lot of weight to have on the hitch without weight distribution. Saw a person pulling like that one time with class 4 frame mounted hitch but the removable hitch ball setup they used was only rated for 5000 lbs. That's sketchy. Awesome find on a 6.4L truck for $7500 that isn't beaten to shit.
wait hold up,if the pistons go bad y do people run them in a 6.0? Is that due to its smaller displacement?
Throw a single non VGT turbo on it!
How to make em last remove egr stuff and exhaust restrictions and detune the ecu for lower hp and torque to save the pistons and reduce injection pressure there that all should make it last.
I love that truck sounds awesome and looks it too
The real question is it might be studded but you're going to need to replace those Pistons. You're going to find out the hard way. But you're ahead of the game you got a way to lift the cab.
I have a 99 f250 superduty. Planning on installing new injectors . What are the biggest injectors I can install without having to do other engine mods?
im so proud of you
The way that thing is choppy as the rpms come up and the smoke isnt consitent i would look into a cylinder contribution test
The crazy thing is that it came with dual turbos that can support like 600hp I think
this guy is a real genius... he doesn't know which one is more accurate between the averaging onboard fuel economy computer or the exact measured number from the fuel pump and the exact mileage from the odometer that gives you exact mathematical numbers. Just think, this guy has a shop and does inspections for the public...
The pump is not always accurate either is the computer especially for a 17 year old truck. I have been measuring fuel economy both ways for the 4 other diesel trucks I own. There is really no way to determine the actual fuel economy unless you are in a perfect scenario. Bigger tires wind conditions and what gas pump you fill up at all play a factor in fuel economy. I’d like to hear how you measure perfect fuel economy with your mathematical equation. I also used those numbers as a comparison between what is on the computer and what is at the pump.
So you mean sometimes you pay for fuel you don't get if the pump is wrong?
@@powerstrokecentralyou don’t get to see those factors broken down cause it’s a total, but gallons filled at a pump and hand calculation is very accurate to what your getting for fuel mileage, yes pumps are a factor that do change but it’s not very much, depending on state gas pumps are proved/calibrated every 1 to 2 years, I work for a measurement company, hand calculation vs on board computer is far more accurate
Been waiting for you to get a 6.4 for awhile
Anotha banger from the hoss
You should get the 3.0 power stroke
and the 3.2
@@mikerotchburns7122 well there is the 3.0 witch is a v6 while the 3.2 is a i4
Bout to make some big power. First commonrail powerstroke. Screw the folks that take the easy way out. Props to the guys that except a challenge.
Nitto 420v on these stocks would looks so nice
Best thing about a 6.4 is swapping it out for a Cummins.
6.9 idi next!
Just rolled 260k,oil cooler at 180k, deleted tuned truck has never quit mostly tow miles...
This is how you should make videos from here on out. 12-15 min
Gabe Cline thinks you need to get the best powerstroke yet… the 6.9 idi. Slap a custom flatbed on there and call it dialed
The 6.9 isn't a powerstroke though...
5sec 0-60 is fucking insane
3.0L Powestroke build when?
1.9TDI is next
HE DID IT 🥳🥳🥳
Big single Non vgt turbo for the 6 fo
There should be pressure in your cooling system though bro
@@JacobTechShit I just fired it up after sitting over night
7,500 is an insane deal for that mileage. In my area at least
i could use use some helping figuring out my coolant loss issue if you wanna see milage and come to wisconsin
Does it have a tune on it is that why you get better mpg I get about 11 mpg on my 6.4
Waiting for It to spin a crank bearing any moment now.
You ever plan on buying the 3.0 powerstroke I know there kinda rare and gutless but it would still be another to add on the list
Ready for this
3.0 powerstroke next
That’s not a typo look up 3.0 powerstroke f150
@@Wilhelm57 Next daily lol
and the 3.2
You need to get a zf6 next
You needs the kc compounds turbos
Atta boy been waiting for you to wick one up!
Once you get it under 3.5 second 0-60 you gotta race some fast cars
Gotta see more content bro 🙏🙏
6.9 idi next
what tuner/tune?
