Message: [QUOTE="me2, post: 419772, member: 3825"] Just to be clear, whatever truck I build is still getting the Cummins 6.7 and the 6R140. Here are some reasons why. [url]http://powerstrokenation.com/forums/showthread.php?t=139341[/url] [url]http://powerstrokearmy.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19095[/url] I know that Cummins engines have their issues too, but I am way more comfortable working on them than I am on a Ford 6.4. I've had a couple people kicking tires on my 08 F350. Its a huge turn off to potential buyers that its off warranty. Its got 112,000 miles on it. I've put 30,000 miles on it in the last 10 months. Even a used engine for these trucks is not cheap. Used 08 6.4 with 85,000 miles, $5995.

I absolutely love my 08. I can't think of another truck that I would trade it for, except a 2011 King Ranch. I feel very sorry for this guy. All that work and money for parts and he has the same problem he started with. I can't imagine what he is going through. The injectors alone are $4K from the dealer, depending what price break they give you. [url]http://powerstrokearmy.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22468[/url] I'll be very, very happy when my 6.4 is out. I babied it on every pass when we were on our trip. As much as you can baby an engine when you are pulling a 13K 5er up a 7% grade. [/QUOTE]
