Sharp looking truck. Those are some of the best looking OEM wheels in my opinion
Keep the 6.4 in it. It might be good when you get fresh coolant through the motor and new oil might get rid of the knock.
J&K makes a good 6.4 from what I’ve read. No failures on their 6.4 motors. They have stage 1-3 builds.
Those 6.4s Rippppp . For about 500 hundred miles at a time 😂
bought me a 6.4 earlier in the year. and yeaaa my motor went and I am crushing it with a new one. can be a pricy rig.
This was a Great video. From a potential rod knocking to only a few hundred dollars in trans fluid. Keep it!
Very interesting. Thank you.
This channel deserves more subs
WilltheNISMOman thanks bud, trying to make it informative, helpful but not boring with a little humor.
Keep it with the 6.4
Dang you sure put 28,563 miles on it quick.
Yea I misspoke on the mileage on the first video
Fix it up gary . Nice truck from the camera . Put some new seats in it and be like new again .
Found a 6.4 for a great price! Guy told me the water pump replaced and drain and fill on coolant, both fuel filters replaced and the fuel water separator bowl took apart cleaned, and reinstalled. The truck is all stock and has 248k miles. The truck is nice except for a ding here and a scratch there and a hole in the driver's seat. It's a lariat to. Really uncertain. Any advice
Don't buy it unless it has been serviced properly and has been deleted. And even still it's a 6.4 known to be a trash engine my personal advice is get a 6.7 or 6.0 that has been bullet proofed. 6.4 is a great looking truck it was just built cheap.
Buy it, try and nurse it as best yoy can. The 6.4 is going to fail. It's just a question of when. Have a 12 valve sitting on a pallet, ready to go
@@melissaholmes6131 The 6.4 wasn’t really fords fault. They were bound by contract to buy engines from international/Navistar. That’s why if you look at a 6.0 or 6.4 valve cover you see the Navistar plate and not a ford plate. With the 6.7 being a true ford design they have proven that they can make a reliable diesel. The 6.4 is basically a International MaxxForce 7, witch is equally junk. Ford actually never paid Navistar for the 6.4 because of all the warranty claims they had to do on these trucks. There were some f-450’s that had 3 and 4 engines put in under warranty because they simply blew up from being used in the HD applications. International/Navistar actually has had several class action lawsuits brought against them for knowingly selling bad engines, the most notable case being the MaxxForce 13 in their medium and heavy duty trucks. They paid out 135 million dollars from that lawsuit. So, long story made short is that Navistar knew the gig was about to be up with Ford. They knew that ford was getting ready to dump them and make their own engine, so they gave them and engine that would make lots of power and sell trucks. They cut every corner that they could to try and save their share holders pockets from running dry but ended up shooting them selfs in the foot, shooting ford in the foot and the people who bought the trucks in the foot. I always tell people this. - Dodge didn’t make a good engine, Cummins did. Chevy didn’t make a good engine, Isuzu did. Ford didn’t make a junk engine, NAVISTAR did.
Guess what, if you don’t maintain it and drive you beat the stuffing out of it, it’s going to fail
@@detroitdiesel-vu3ig All engines are going to fail. It is just a matter of when.It's just that fixing a 6.4 is more expensive.
Inside looks just like mine
Drive it !!!!
Keep it. Flush the tranny to solid red replace rad. Good to go after that.
Keep the 6.4
6.4 is a high price engine, not just Ford built the engine. However, the 6.4 Powerstroke was built by Navistar. It depends me, the 6.4 Powerstroke is the worst diesel engine ever because the emissions components and more parts are having issues. They're so unreliable engine. Don't get me wrong, i love the 08-10 6.4 trucks with a Cummins conversion. I was watching Bill Hewitt on TH-cam. so, he's not going to fix on the 6.4 anymore and his truck got burst in flames.
Yea if you’ll watch my channel I’m a Powerstroke mechanic. It was built to be thrown away because international was mad at ford from lawsuits from the 6.0 days. Ford didn’t build any of that motor only international unless your talking accessories and brackets.
Why not drop the pan twist the external trans filter off get rid of most of that pink stuff then do a flush
Cause the torque converter holds 6 quarts on its on and you can’t drain that on the 6.4 so you would just re contaminate. There was a method to the madness
We ain’t got enough trans fluid but going to drive it to see if it shifts lol
I have an 08 6.4 awsome truck . 135000 miles. Tons of power. Truck is stock but thinking of deleting it .is your truck deleted yet
noraa yes it was already dpf and egr deleted when we got it but unsure of when it was done. Truck had 164k on it and I’m sure it was done after the 100k mile warranty. Watch all of our 6.4 series and see how we came out on the whole deal.
Yes. Mine is full delete. Did the deletes at 95K got 136k now love it bought it at 62K the previous owner hauled his home to the Oil fields up North then used the truck as a service truck. I bought it in 2012 and drove it till I couldn't live with the embarrassment. The regen is the most embarrassing thing I have ever had to live with. So videoed my embarrassment of the government's failed science project and proceeded to delete it put a catch can on with a baffle in it ran a 1-inch ID heater hose to it and from it had to empty it twice in every 5K oil change Now it makes it to its 5K oil and filters change. Just re-done the trans put in a shift kit and upgraded the reverse to the new model. I love this truck and added an aftermarket cold-air intake kit with the delete. Went with the S&B tired of the censor calling for an air filter change. That stock air filter chocked that engine like a hangman's noose and no more fuel in the crankcase oil. Happiness 😂😂😂❤
I got a question at 4:57 when y’all would give it a little gas what is it that makes the loud humming sound?
Fix it with the 6.4
Tell Gary to keep the Cummins and sell the 6.4. If it ain’t broke yet, it’s a comin’
Finish the series, we didn’t keep it but he came out pretty damn good. I love the 6.4 when they run but there’s to many what if’s with it. Thanks for watching.
The power of a 6.4???? The power to empty your wallet... Faster than the duramax dusting you!!!!
Yep they are expensive and problematic, that’s why I don’t usually mess with them but to this day that’s the best power out of the box with just a tune.
Keep the 6.4 in it
Transcooler radiator leaking into eachother
Yea, I hate plastic radiators
I know this is old, but I’m willing to bet the oil cooler blew up shortly after y’all got it back up with all the oil in the cooling system unless you did a proper cooling system flush.
The trans and cooling system got flush 5 times total. 72 quarts or trans fluid and 2 quarts of cascade dish detergent in the coolant system. It was flushed.
@@AutomedicGarage did you pull the block drains?
@@richardluna652 yea, this ain’t my first rodeo.
@@AutomedicGarage didn’t say it was your first rodeo, FS. A bunch of techs don’t like to do the whole flush procedure because to do it right it takes so long and pulling the starter each time to get to the block plug.
@@richardluna652 I don’t pull the passenger block plug. I leave the starter and pull the block heater that way you can run the truck with it pulled and force the crap out of the block FS
I have a 2009 f350 I got off may dad a month ago in white. Running real good after tune and delete a few odd and end like pinion seal went on her and the radiator both leaked on driveway next day after buying and now I have a bad seal on the oil pan and have a small oil leak and I just had the oil freshly changed so going to wait to fix that one.
Nice video good content
Iiii I thanks. Check out our other videos to.
@@AutomedicGarage will do I subscribed to your channel how many miles did that 6.4 have?
Keep it 6.4
Just wondering what made the engine ticking sound go away?
As far as the motor goes all we did was change the oil and fuel filters and ebp sensor, the rest was just the radiator, flushing the trans 3 times and a new heater core.
How much did you pay for it ???? If I knew how much you already have in it I could make a better decision on what you should do with it.never mind just saw this was 3yrs ago already watching the other videos
Not really a 6.4 fan but that truck was nice and clean when we got done with it
Thank gosh I got the 2008 5.4 gasoline
Why a 6.4 tho. Not a 5.9, either of the 6.7's, maybe even a 7.3 or even a 6.0?
The Unlucky Frog not sure what u mean. Are u asking why not swap any of those in?
@@AutomedicGarage I meant the 6.4 is junk, you might as well swap something else in
The Unlucky Frog I think Gary is leaning toward just selling it a making some money off the truck
When the 6.4 is running it will spank any of those that you listed except maybe the 6.7.. the 6.4’s are a hoot to drive
@@joeyjordan1209 I know they are fast, but its far cheaper to compound turbo a cummins and have the same power and far better reliability. Probably why people cummins swap them all the time
I believe there's a TSB to changeover to MERCRON LV quite some time ago.
FRANK DAIII they are compatible fluids. Either is acceptable in a 5r110
@@AutomedicGarage Oh absolutely! I mentioned it because none of the Ford dealers here deep south Texas, nevermind the local auto parts stores, stock SP. I was going nuts looking for 19 qts because I was performing the full flush as well. The 4th dealer I called finally mentioned the TSB, which then simplified my hunt to the local Walmart.
FRANK DAIII Homer Skelton here in Millington Tn had the 5 cases we needed. They take good care of us.
Just curious Why didn't you guys just dump the contaminated trans fluid from the get-go .... instead of flushing????
Cause the torque converter is full of fluid. It took all the flushing to get the pink milkshake flushed out of the whole system, mainly the torque converter.
Is it possible to make a 6.4 a reliable engine in any way? I have a 6.0 that I love but I like the ‘08-10 generation truck better, just too scared to pull the trigger!
I’ve had some good ones I’ve worked on a long time but they were deleted damn near right off the lot. Those are the ones that last. Choates performance that isn’t far from us builds custom 6.4 motors that are supposed to be the cats meow.
@@AutomedicGarage I was just reading up on Choate’s…. looks like they do some extensive machine work on all the Powerstroke platforms. Anyway, thanks for the input on my 6.0 the other day and Merry Christmas!
@@Powerstroke7911 did you call me about the 6.0 F450?
@@AutomedicGarage no, I asked your opinion (on a different video) about the head gaskets on my ‘06 that I just got a few months ago. It’s studded with a Bulletproof EGR cooler that just started puking a little coolant and blows white smoke for 10-20 seconds on hot startup. I just started running a mild tow/economy tune. I was wondering if it could’ve been a cracked head that was missed at the time it was studded. I haven’t even towed with it yet. I was out running errands and stopped for fuel. When I started it up, it was blowing white smoke and (not even puking but more burping) coolant. Sorry for being long winded, but trying to be thorough.
Keep it you wont be sorry
Anybody with 6.4 won’t be sorry there great trucks reliable to
I would’ve flushed it with cheaper fluid then got good fluid to run in it
Is that racin strawberry yogurt?
Ben White no it was discounted “managers special”
lv not sp
There is no such thing as a cheap 6.4. It will eventually cost you a lot of money.
James German I do agree with you for the most part but I recently have turned wrenches on 2 that were deleted earlier in the lives and are running strong with over 200k and never any major service to either of them. The regen washing the rings out and the dpf getting clogged really hurt those motors more than anything.
@@AutomedicGarage I’m a Ford Diesel Technician and I’ve dealt with these a lot. When they are good they are really good. But the prices to repair them once they go wrong are ridiculous. Parts cost more, labor is always more because they are so hard to work on. And forgot it if someone works on it that doesn’t know what they’re doing or doesn’t have experience with them. They rest of the truck is great, they have the best suspension, brakes and transmissions but that damn engine will eventually be a nightmare.
James German I totally agree, I love the old 7.3s and 6.0s are great once they are fixed right and I’ve kinda always had a soft spot for the 6.4s when they run they really run. I’d love to swap in a max force 7 bottom end with the better oiling rings, bushing for the wrist pins and pistons that don’t crack.
There’s literally no such thing as a 6.7
@@smokendiesel4958 Literally?
6.7 swap
Stupidest idea I’ve ever heard all day
Run away
Watch the series on the 6.4. It was bought to flip and sell. Go see how we came out on it
Flip it
Artem Ryabtsev I think that’s the direction were headed. Gary would like the reliability of a 7.3 or 6.0 compared to this 6.4.
HPFP
Finish the series. HPFP is fine.
Audio kinda bad
It was early on in the channel it improves as time goes on and I started using a better editing program other than iMovie on my iPhone.
@@AutomedicGarage good deal I just found your channel nice content
