Message: [QUOTE="Corb@CorbinShipping, post: 904489, member: 2499"] Most of those, were not your average daily drivers buying aftermarket pistons. Most guys that own 6.4s do not even know what a "delete" is... Much less feel the need to upgrade pistons, tuners, intakes, etc... I interviewed a guy a few weeks ago, that raised his hand to god (no kidding) and swore that his 2008 f350 would out tow anything on the road. It was the most powerful truck that any of the big three ever produced, etc... I asked what he had done to it, he said "Nothing, it don't need anything done to it!" bone stock.... This is the majority of 6.4 owners... We are the very small percentage of 6.4 owners that want MORE power.... I cracked 3 pistons on the 450, tuned deleted and abused for 110,000 (deleted at 50 K, sold at 160 K) but my 250 has seen tow power Xs, 62/75 non vgt with 110 and dual pumps, etc, all stock engine and heads, with only studs, springs and push rods... Pistons are just fine still. Nick Detray made 1284 hp on a STOCK bottom end, after running a big single and 100% tips for several thousand miles...... Same pistons that the truck came from the factory with... I have said it before, and will say it again... "The enemy of GOOD, is BETTER...." If we were to leave these truck in stock form, there would be very few "horror stories" of parts failures.... But, I will most likely NOT be sticking to this train of thought.... LOL But, all in all, I would not hesitate to buy another 6.4 and tinker on it as well... [/QUOTE]
