Zf6 rarity

[TooSlow]

I've had a zf6 6.4 for about a year now. It's an 08 ccsb. It is a base model truck (XL) but has Power windows and locks, cruise, 40/20/40 cloth seat, etc. pretty much everything to make it an xlt except a vinyl floor and 6 speed.

My question is just how rare is this truck? I've seen some other threads here talking about how rare the zf6 is In a 6.4. I'm thinking mine was probably special order but have no way of knowing. Just curious if anyone has any production numbers for zf6 trucks.

I have a zf6 in my 6.4 as well. I am curious to see if anyone has the numbers.

Is that your truck in your avatar? Looks like the same color as mine

They are pretty tough to come by. Took me along time to find a red zf6 xlt regular cab. 95% of them seem to be XL trucks

I just thought mine had a lot of options to be an XL. When I think of an XL I think of a plain truck with a black grille, a vinyl bench, manual locks and windows, and no a/c. Maybe it's not that way anymore but that's what every other XL I've had was.

My f-450 is a lariat with a manual tranny. In Canada, they stopped offering the manual transmission in 2008.

Mines a XLT ZF-6 took almost a year to find it. I wanted to get rid of my 6.0 ECLB for a 6.4 CCLB for the "family" (cough cough) Power! LOL

The numbers I have seen said 1-2% of all '08 6.4s were manuals. It took me 6 months to find mine.

There's only a couple people I can think of that have a 6.4 zf6 lariat, very rare!

I am pretty sure those are special orders. I was told XLT was the highest package you could get (without a special order) for a manual.

I have a 2008 with the fx4 package. ccsb. Search for 6months.

SB 3850 here. I have the old version (almost 5 yrs old) so it is loud and shifts slow. The newer version shifts a lot better and quieter. Mine has been bulletproof so I wouldn't hesitate to get another one when the time comes.

SB 3250 here. I run the spartan 250 tune ALL the time whether I am snowplowing, grossing 36000 lbs or driving empty and so far it is doing great (had it for about 6 mos now)

Well since we've already derailed this far. What is a safe tune for a stock clutch? Really only wanting to tune the truck to delete the dpf so I'm not really looking for big power.

It has been so long, I can't remember the stock clutch but I would say the smallest tune available.
