Runs drives Good The body is a little beat up and the interior looks used but that's fine with me. I'm gong to put my plow on it and use it as a work truck. Going to tune and delete it as soon as I get it. Or that's the plan.

My '08 CCLB is all back to stock except for egr delete tuner, & exhaust. runs like a champ, and has 201000 on the body, 190000 on the engine and trans. PM me if interested. I'm about to put it up for sale. I really wouldn't worry about a higher miles 6.4 if it's well cared for. Maintenance is key though despite who you bought it from

Try and get him to 10k and I'd go for it. Being a work truck it doesn't have to look pretty. Just runs and gets the job done!

Yeah a 7.3 is worth gold don't you know. I've been looking at truck and what people want for a 7.3 I'm going to get a higher miles 6.4 for the same or cheaper. I would like to have an OBS but wow

I say go for it as long as you know the risk of the high mileage piston issues. I'd rather drive a high mileage 08+all day then what these fools want for their turds.

I didn't know about a piston problem. Haven't keep up with the 6.4 since I sold mine.

Not my area of knowledge at all, just have seen quite a few threads about it over the last few months. Not sure if its only occurring to guys running a good amount more then deletes and tuners. Do a search and decide for yourself.

11k for a 6.4 .?

The bottom dropped out of these trucks quickly, 6.0's and 7.3's bring more then that here easily with just a tick under 200k

I don't think high mileage and piston failure are related..... Seen plenty under 50k miles
