Hey fellas,
So I’ve Had nothing but dodge diesels. From first gens to third gens and many of em. I have always heard stay away from 6.4 fords, they are junk. I sold my dream truck first gen that had a lot of time and money into it because I needed something with more cab space and better for work (welding truck).
Anyway, here I am owning a 6.4 and reading through the forums here isn’t helping my nerves. That being said, the only reason I purchased this particular 6.4 is it has a built long block from DFC here in Alberta. It also has warranty for another 3 years. Here’s a list of what was done...
DFC long block assembly
ARP 2000 head studs
ARP connecting rod bolts
O ringed cylinder heads
Powerstroke products new billetcam shaft
Chamfered piston bowls
Ceramic coated piston crowns and dry film coated skirts
DFC HD push rods
Also has re balanced injectors with 15% over nozzles, mpd 369sxe turbo, high flow up pipes and I thinkkk that’s it. Then the normal stuff. The turbo is a bit laggy for me and especially once I have a welding skid in the back. Also it shifts into 5th waayyyy too early. Other than that it seams solid but still a bit nervous being that I don’t know 6.4’s at all. What do you guys think reliability wise ? Anything else I should do ?
