The new 6.7 Powerstroke is very reliable. All trucks have their Achilles heel though and fords can be the emissions bs and dodges have their transmission. Still would recommend the Cummins though because there is a reason they don’t make a new engine every few years.
Ron Henley this is difference between customers and us technician day beat the piss out of dar vehicle and don’t put any money into it. You have to spend on your vehicle to keep going.
@@freddiebates5539 That's an IDI and I'd wager they're talking about the PSD. I still have my 6.9 IDI and won't get rid of it, either. -- That said, I'll stick with my 6.0 as my daily vehicle. -- *EDIT* -- Unless you meant '99?
i watch so many videos about 6.4s being junk but like i’ve had two and still own one of them and only issue i ever had was a my old one at 254k miles needed a high pressure fuel pump. my current one has been great too!
LOL. As soon as you said 6.4......game over!!! I got bit on a 6.4 and now own a 2017 / 6.7 F350 and LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love the videos Bill!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just picked my 08 F250 from shop last Friday. Same problem as this guy, ,but I chose to fix mine. All new Moog greaseable ball joints, t rods, bushings, OEM front shocks, OEM wheel bearing hubs and a few other parts. $4100, now I'm selling this damn thing.
@James Marquis selling a truck with the death wobble is not just illegal most places but it's irresponsible and dangerous for the buyer and you could get sued for it if they crash on the way home....
My first diesel truck was a 2008 f250 6.4 after watching ur videos u sure change my mind on ford Diesel engines, got rid of truck and recently purchased a 2016 ram 2500 Cummins G56 manual trans no regrets..
I have a 6.4 power stroke at 300,000 miles ... I’m just going to run it until it blows. It does have an exhaust leak and a clogged oil cooler. It is my daily construction work truck as of right now. I do use all the archoil additives.
Starting to think I have the only trouble free 08 6.4 in the country. 145k. It paid for itself three times over.. I'm just curious to see how long it will last. I do scrap metal and haul away full beds of concrete to the dump every now and then so it's not babied.
"So this guy brings us a 6.4..." Given how much you love the 6.4's, how much did he have to pay you to take a look at it? Well at least we know who was responsible for answering the call :)
Love the videos! As always very informative and lightheartedly comical. I love my 6.0 truck and you help me keep her healthy. Keep up the great work Bill!
I got rid of my 6.0 two months ago for a 2015 Cummins. And in that two months it has been the most worry free two months ever. That old truck of mine couldn’t go two months without something being wrong with it. Will never go back or go ford lmao
Hey, Bill. Is there any way you can do a "where are they now" segment on the trucks you've sold? I believe that will but a lot of sceptics to rest on the value of your trucks that you allow out the doors of your shop.
I think he did... A little Freudian slip there. As he said in The Party Is Over video, run her until she croaks, then leave it on the side of the road with the keys and the title.
Had that issue on my new to me 03 ram. Drilled the mounts out another bolt size and the new bushing insert and upped the bolt size, made a big difference for an hour and two new bolts
If PowersStroke Help engineered a 6.4 conversion to a 6.0 or 6.7 or even a cummins they would make serious coin. A lot of nice trucks with bad 6.4 motors out there.
Traded my 08 in at 175k miles for a 2017. Those 6.4s would run especially with the spartan tuner but it was only so long and i would have needed an engine so i got rid of that before i put any money into it.
YO BILL sense you are the master of solving problems what do you think the fix is for the very crappy parking brake setup on the earlier super dutys i have a manual in my truck and i pull often including a boat and going to the ramp sucks restarting the truck like 3 or 4 times just to launch the boat
I have a 225,000 mile 6.4 that cavitated the front cover, drove with 4 gallons of water in the crankcase for at least 50 miles, the owner still wants to do a front cover replacement..I vote 5.9 swap
6.4 aside, what's your opinion on the remainder of these trucks? There are options out there for engine swaps and I have considered it as an alternative to the cost of the newer trucks. Are the transmission, front/rear suspensions, etc. reliable enough to warrant making it a project?
Use archoil. I use it in my 08 6.4. Went from 12mpg to 16.4mpg currently. Truck runs a lot smoother. 6.4L need to have oil changed every 5000 miles, filters changed regularly and fuel water separator drained.
Costco batteries are less expensive or "cheap" as Bill calls them yet if you do some research you will discover that they are made by Interstate. So what is the best batteries for these diesels?
I have 2010 f 450 with 254k on it and transported for three years changed oil twice a month and had only two issues one fuel problem and play in steering and still runs good also I use delo 15-40 oil and use shot secrets a must
I recieved my Kit on Friday 6/25/2020 here in Antioch, CA. Used a friends POB. We shall see how the drive back to AZ will be.. Im so excited. The products is for my 2011 F350 King Ranch. I have maintained my Big guy but sometimes a little more extra cleaning doesn't hurt. Again thank you do much! 😁😁
Boooo! Bill you disappointed me, I thought you believed that the 6.4 could be made to last and last if the maintenance was done! You have been my inspiration to fix and upgrade mine!
Are you referring to the bracket the track bar is fastened to? Because if you are it is not cracked, What you are seeing is the lines from when it was casted!
We’ve been lucky with our 6.4s. Have 2 ‘08 f250s. One with 350k and one with 250k miles. Both deleted. Only basic maintenance and repairs so far. Knock on wood. So if they take a shit now, we’ve gotten our moneys worth out of them.
Just drop a 12v Cummins in that ole 6.4 truck. Diesel Conversion Specialists has a kit for about 5k that has pretty much everything you need to do the swap except the engine itself. You'll be the most popular dude at the car show guaranteed!
Let's see you do a Cummins swap on one of these 6.4 trucks. There's actually quite a following for these swaps and some very active groups on Facebook dedicated to it. If done right (and cleanly), they can sell for a quite a pretty penny too.
My 02 7.3 steering is doing the same thing omg. Just had it aligned and they couldn’t find anything wrong. Looks like it’s up to me to find the problem and fix it. Oh ball joints are new too... not buying a new truck!! ;)
He loves hearing his own voice so much at five minutes he is bitchen about if you get 200,000 it of your 6.7? Not a 6.7. He knows that. Gets so wound up. Wow. He does know his crap about diesels yes. But need to fing relax.
I do enjoy your channel and honesty about the fords question if the 6.4 are junk why not put 6.0 in them now I’m not a know it all but you speak high about the 6.0.
There are simply two classes of owners who own these trucks. Those who maintain them impeccably, and those who can't afford them so you get results like that above. Only thing missing is Red Farm Diesel out of a field pump tank that has been sitting around for 5 years, and some dipshit stealing it to run his truck. Unbelievable
Hey guys. Love the channel. Got a 16. 250. 6.7l. My DEF monitor is not working correctly, not telling me when it’s low, not showing it’s full when it does read. Can I take the tank off and flush it out? What are my options here? Been running archoil since I got it at 32k miles. Thanks!
That truck isn’t worthless, even with a blown engine (it could even be missing for all i care). I would have a field day with that truck to convert these older 7.3s and 6.0s to newer stuff with all the upgrades. Check out my channel.
What I love about these(any)new vehicle is that they're all self explanatory. No number crunching necessary. An obvious total rip-off. The consumer knows exactly what he/she needs and these trucks can't do it. You're basically buying something twice. The demands you have for the rig, will kill it prematurely for the price paid. And you fix it, and buy it again. They're just big toys, like an ornament, clean it up, park it and brag about what it can do, but don't really do it, or not for your livelihood. Just brag or work it three or four times a year that's it. (for God sake don't put miles on it!) You should be good. Try calling it out on it's name though, Super Duty, Heavy Duty etc. (Laughing) Stack all your tall profits in the engine/transmission savings , electrical, emissions, suspension etc savings account. Go ahead, buy one of these rigs. It'll be the best time to sit down with your family and say, "you don't have to go to college to be successful."
I know right?!! No doubt he knows his stuff...been watching his videos for the past couple years, but the way he's rambling on about all these comparatively minor issues( replacing rubber bushings, cleaning corrosion on battery terminals and associated area, leaking steering gearbox,) that are actually fairly cheap and easy to fix especially if you're mechanically inclined. He's saying the truck which doesn't even have quite 200,000 miles on it is essentially no longer cost-effective to repair and needs to be condemned. As a heavy mobile equipment mechanic with a degree in diesel technology, I just don't see it the same way.
Perfect truck for a guy to swap that knows what they are doing. If i knew what i was doing i would swap a 7.3 with a ZF6 in it. Get all the modernish amenities with old reliability
The hate is real 🤣 but I always watch. Ours has 192k, dpf delete, no cats,, flowpro exhaust, the h&s on just the basic mild tune. Dont get rode hard, and dont sound like that either. Fingers crossed still lol
Cummins swap is the only fix for that 6.4.
That noise is all the 6.4 dudes squirming over their repair bills
Cummins swap and some front end work would make that truck great again.
Make The 6.4 Great Again
@@christopher6161 it was never half way decent to begin with
I have a 2008 6.4L diesel SRW F350 and it runs extremely well. I take care of my vehicles and have them regularly serviced.
Followed this channel for 7 years , finally figured it out . Buy a Cummins !!!
The new 6.7 Powerstroke is very reliable. All trucks have their Achilles heel though and fords can be the emissions bs and dodges have their transmission. Still would recommend the Cummins though because there is a reason they don’t make a new engine every few years.

Y’all do real work man, we brought our 7.3 to you bout 7 years ago and aint seen one other problem again. Keep up the good work man!
Really?
I'll stick with my old ass 7.3.
Me too!
I have two. One I'm rebuilding. I'll never get rid of either one.
Me too, she's an '89 F-350 with 375,000 but I'm hanging on as long as I can.

Exactly what I drive... every morning I start it up I tell myself I'll never sell this rig!! Solid work tool! 👊🏻
Lol I’ve got a 7.5 f250 obs truck and runs like a kitten
I have a 6.4 power stroke at 300,000 miles ... I’m just going to run it until it blows. It does have an exhaust leak and a clogged oil cooler. It is my daily construction work truck as of right now. I do use all the archoil additives.
Don’t let the fear mongers get to you. Change the oil cooler and you can get more miles out of it.
Kenneth Obando so much work to change it. Is there a way to mount an exterior oil cooler instead of cab off ?
Starting to think I have the only trouble free 08 6.4 in the country.
145k. It paid for itself three times over.. I'm just curious to see how long it will last.
I do scrap metal and haul away full beds of concrete to the dump every now and then so it's not babied.
Mike how many miles you have today on your 6.4?
"So this guy brings us a 6.4..." Given how much you love the 6.4's, how much did he have to pay you to take a look at it? Well at least we know who was responsible for answering the call :)

Track bar bushing is a 12 dollar part.
Twenty mins to fix if you make a press .
Dont be afraid of keeping up track bar bushings.
LMAO at Gee just chillin', watching the antics... Lol
Hey, Bill. Is there any way you can do a "where are they now" segment on the trucks you've sold? I believe that will but a lot of sceptics to rest on the value of your trucks that you allow out the doors of your shop.
"What's that noise? That's the sound of this truck lifting money out of your bank account!" 😂😂
I’m wondering if you can swap a 6.0 in 6.4 truck it wood be all some to see.
Thats just swaping one problem with another one
At 5:03 I hope you meant to say 6.4?
I think he did... A little Freudian slip there. As he said in The Party Is Over video, run her until she croaks, then leave it on the side of the road with the keys and the title.
still rolling my 04 6.0 f350 with 415k
Wow i thought 312k was good for my 06 6.0 f250
Had that issue on my new to me 03 ram. Drilled the mounts out another bolt size and the new bushing insert and upped the bolt size, made a big difference for an hour and two new bolts
You don't have to replace the whole track bar the bushing is $20 you have to use a ball joint press to get the old out and new in
If PowersStroke Help engineered a 6.4 conversion to a 6.0 or 6.7 or even a cummins they would make serious coin. A lot of nice trucks with bad 6.4 motors out there.

Looks like a good Cummins swap truck, if ya like that kinda thing.
Thanks, Bill. Thanks, Mike. Thanks, Scott. Thanks, Pascal. Thanks, G. You all have a safe and Happy 4th of July....💥✨👀
You do the same sir!
I have one question why is nobody power swapping 6.0 into 6.4 chassis’s? Only reason I could think would be emissions.
Ding ! !

He ain’t lying, my 2019 F-350 DRW out tows any 6.4 on the road stock. Trade that bad boy in and upgrade.
I bet u want run up on my 6.4
That bolt goin through bent good

Boooo! Bill you disappointed me, I thought you believed that the 6.4 could be made to last and last if the maintenance was done! You have been my inspiration to fix and upgrade mine!
did anyone else notice that the bracket on the frame is cracked at 4:06
Are you referring to the bracket the track bar is fastened to? Because if you are it is not cracked, What you are seeing is the lines from when it was casted!
A $70k truck that is done for at 191k is beyond pathetic.
I think you guys should come out with a 6.7 liter conversion to replace 6.4 liter in these trucks.
So thankful I never went with a 6.4. YIKES
He said "Rash on my balls" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Problem is I can't get a 6.7L six speed. I'll keep mine to keep the clutch.
6.4 make sure your insurance is paid up and leave the keys in it on the wrong side of town overnight

SuperDuty only please. Maybe if was the small powerstroke
@@mikemike827 ok the small powerstroke... doesn't matter.. its a ford.
great channel. you guys are awesome

stupid question. do the ccv oil air separators go bad on 11-16 6.7 powerstrokes? (excessive crank case pressure)
There are simply two classes of owners who own these trucks.
Those who maintain them impeccably, and those who can't afford them so you get results like that above.
Only thing missing is Red Farm Diesel out of a field pump tank that has been sitting around for 5 years, and some dipshit stealing it to run his truck.

How much y'all charge to rebuild/renew a 2005 6.0, F250? What is included in that price. Thank you.
Cummins swap?
What heads do you use for the 6.0
How did it even start with the battery’s like that?
I bought my truck with 11 miles on it, now 377k 1999 F250 late model. I'm not trading it in yet.
6.4 trucks would be perfect Cummins swap trucks or DT466 swap trucks!
Perfect truck for a guy to swap that knows what they are doing. If i knew what i was doing i would swap a 7.3 with a ZF6 in it. Get all the modernish amenities with old reliability
Why don't you do cummins swap kits for these
He wouldn’t make any money off of them if a cummins was in it lol!!
The hate is real 🤣 but I always watch. Ours has 192k, dpf delete, no cats,, flowpro exhaust, the h&s on just the basic mild tune. Dont get rode hard, and dont sound like that either. Fingers crossed still lol
Ron Henley me too. 08’ 250. 133K bought from Ford at 100k needed an oil cooler after my first haul, they covered the new cooler.
242k on mine now @mikemike827@RonHenley
Time for a #fumins! 😜
"Magic in the wand", is that like lead in the pencil?
Less than 200,000 miles and it's worn out ?
