^ I would have to agree. 6.4s are good running trucks and if your lucky it will be problem free. But if your not lucky or feeling lucky and you drive it hard it would probably cost you a lot of money.

A 6.4 in a 450 with 100k+ will most likely need a front cover unless the po was really good about maintaining the coolant. They are great runners like already said but if you ain't careful you can spend some money on them. with that said I love them and own 4 in various conditions.

Be careful with the 450 if you plan to drive it hard. They have some tall gears and you can break stuff with them.
They are fun and tow monsters with just a delete and tune.
More so with bigger huffers
