WTB 6.4L

Spindrift · Jul 27, 2012

Don't know chit about these trucks. Long time 6.0L owner who thinks it's time to move up. Primary purpose of the truck will be to pull the TT in my sig. Will upgrade to a larger 5er in the future. Secondary purpose of the truck will be to go fast. I'm thinking I've got around 30-35K to spend. Absolutely, positively, no more. Will be paying off my kids' college tuitions till the day I die. I'm thinking I'd like to start with a CC LB because a TT like mine needs wheelbase in order to have good highway manners.

Where do I start? Like the 6.0L, are there "better" 6.4s? Is it reasonable for me to think I can get a clean truck at the lower end of my $$ scale. Anything I'm not thinking about that should be front and center?

Yes, I just found an '08 CC SB FX4 Job 3 build for $33.5k with 44k miles. I put a little over $1k in it for tunes, intake and exhaust. This thing is so much faster than my '03 7.3L it's not even funny. Just take your time and don't settle, there are plenty of good trucks out there.

mine was bought at a dealer with 128k on it, for 20k put 1500 into and didnt look back. the previous owners were an old couple who never even towed with the truck and had all the service done at ford.

Around here you can pick a crewcab short xlt for about 18-22k depending on condition Ect with just over 100k miles. Warranty sure seams to drive the price.

Trucks around here are clean usually so let me.know if you find one.

Mike Haller is selling his crew can for 30k I think it's got 60k miles on it just for an fyi

20K? Good deal for sure. I won't find anything nearly that inexpensive in my neck of the woods.

I know that I'm going to take a lot of chit for this, being that it's the 6.4 section, but I'm also going to look at a few 6.0s as well since you can get a lot for your $$.

oke:
