In December i bought my bane of of existence 6.4 powerstroke crewcab long box. With a trashed engine. Ive replaced that engine with a low mileage take. We removed the heads put new valves and valves seats. ARP head studs with diamond gaskets from rudys diesel. Next removed the EGR coolers and *** and rrplaced the entire system with an AFE atlas full exhast with there down pipe. Stage 2 AFE cold air intake. New HiD lights and an autopumpkin in dash nav.

The story goes and us quite sad, the lift pump went out do to trash from a filter coming apart. Wiped it out replaced the lift pump with a new OEM part. Started funy when i picked it up the truck died again. Coded low rail pressure and the local ford garage installed a new HPFP from ford and said im good. They obviously are not good at diesel repair cause it made only a block tgen dies will not start. Making a long sad story short. The 4k i spent with these tards was wasted cause it still wasnt running and after inspected it i found chunks of metal in tank amd there new filter. They said tgey did nothing wrong and I threatened to sue them if they didnt at least stand behind there work They said they said get the F out were dine with your truck.

I took the truck to a larger and better dealer. They wouldnt warranty any if the pump or labor due to workmanship. So i payed another 7200 to have my entire fuel system. Now i have an 2 year unlimted warranty.

What should i do next?? I inow i need a better tuner than what igot. That ***R isnt very good. Should i be looking into tunner and new turbo wheels? Im not jeopardizing this 7200$fuel system i guess basically im looking for what do next. Ill find a descent tunner but after that what can i do to achieve more street performance and not sacrifice reliability. And what kinda power levels.

And can any one tell be if theres a difference between the engine i had in there vs the one i pulled out of that f550?

I believe f-550 6.4s are the same hard parts. I think they came rated at 300 but you can use pickup tunes on them etc.. They have 4.88s or 4.30s so they spend their life at 2k or above usually.

The tuning de-rates the engine, nothing different internally. Its the trucks taht got 4.88's were at 300, even the 450's.
