Message: [QUOTE="Connor M, post: 1538961, member: 26837"] I love mine, absolute beasts and very quick trucks that don’t blink at 65-95 pulls to pass or merge but if you want CHEAP, RELIABLE, STOCK, or any combination of the three mister sixfour is not your friend. You can get an 11 for that money. I’ll add- driving a 6.4 emissions on is like throwing a live grenade into your 7 and 8 piston every time you drive. I mean it’s like your dick is bleeding, you’re about to have some serious problems if you don’t already. It’s just no good. Really though you sound like you don’t want a common rail. Buy a 7.3. Anything late model isn’t gonna be a maintenance free engine that will run on almost anything and will never die. Turbos and injectors will go eventually. Coolant additives need to be checked. You gonna be timely with oil and fuel maintenance. “My sh*t works for me not the other way around” makes me think that you want something that’s gonna be ironclad. You don’t want to “bulletproof” anything, don’t want to always be working on it or worrying about it, don’t want to spend 400 for a single stock injector and 3,000 on stock turbos. Imo, get a cherry 7.3 and throw the rest of that 21k at some suspension upgrades, drop in turbo, fuel system, and custom tunes, maybe some soundproofing and stereo if that’s your thing. You’re going to get a lot more value out of that approach, I think. A $15,000 7.3 with 6,00 in upgrades is probably going to be better in what I assume your metrics are than a $21,000 6.4 or 6.7, especially if it’s not a daily driver. Plus, you won’t have people constantly walking up and saying negative things about your truck [emoji23] More than likely they’ll be asking you to buy the truck if you find a good one. [/QUOTE]
