How it always goes when you buy it from the dealer, they get it going great while it's there cover up it's issues, that's why its recommended to bring it to a mechanic. This is why I don't want a 6.0 and am looking for literally any other power stroke. Going to look at 2010 f250 with a 6.4 4x4 and 164k miles for $15k on Monday been looking for few months and lots of great deals for the 6.0 of all flavors not so much for any of the others. It's a really nice truck regardless.
@@popupheadlights would love to but not very many for sale that makes sense mostly 6.0’s. From what I’ve heard from a ford tech is that the 6.0 is the least reliability the 6.4 and 6.7 are about the same reliable but the 6.7 is more expensive to repair and I would totally take a 7.3 if I could find one but those are all over $30k if it doesn’t have half a million miles. If it is in my budget than it’s beat up I looked at getting one but it was 5 hours away and it sold before I could make plans to get out there. I see 10 6.0’s per 6.4 and 5 6.4’s before seeing 1 7.3 and the 7.3 is always super rough looking with a ton of miles in my price range. If I could just have my pick of whatever I would get 7.3 but I’m trying to finance a 15 year old diesel with over 100k miles, normal banks only lens out for 2015 and newer with 100k miles or less and I just don’t want to spend 50k for a newer one.
Im enjoying my 6.0 so far , but I did have a 6.4 previously and it was a solid truck too. Had 297k miles when I bought and only had to replace the HPFP gasket due to it leaking oil , both the 6.0 and 6.4 were deleted and tune when I got them so I didn’t have to worry about emissions problems. My current 6.7 has been the best truck I just get in and go but I still worry about the cp4 going out which the 6.4 has them too. In all honestly picking what powerstroke you want is personal preference, every truck has its own pros and cons but all that matters is how the truck has been taken care of.
@@DieselTechFred I want a 7.3 but my budget won’t allow it. The truck I’m going to look at doesn’t use DEF and has a K20 fuel pump only 164k miles so I think it’s a great deal at over $4k under blue book at $15k and the most I’ve seen is $2k under. 2010 f250 6.4L 4x4 with oversized tires with a spare on the chase rack, bumper and winch, so I wouldn’t have to do anything like that to it. The time to buy a good deal is when you see it or someone else will buy it if you don’t. I’m also moving to a county that doesn’t require smog so I’m stoked I get to delete and EGR I do get. How many miles does your 6.4 have now or did it have when you junked it or sold it?
I hear ya , the 6.4 was a quick flip bc my friend wanted it and sold it to him, he had for around a year and probably put 10k miles as his daily and he didn’t have any issue. I will say I did have a hot start issue that I could never figure out, but ran top notch with a 80hp tune. Personally I wouldn’t mind having another 6.4 but that’s me bc I enjoy troubleshooting and fixing trucks. I will say when you go tomorrow check the oil first before starting , check blow by and notice if the exhaust has a haze from idling. They are solid trucks.
How the hell did ford think the front end on 11/12's were an upgrade from 05/06 era? 08 to 10 were a step WAY back as well, which brings me to 24+ headlights, WTF?? im pretty stuck on my 96 style wise, but its sure not a modern truck lol
Good luck, I'm looking to buy one too and I'm staying away from the 6.0 I see alot of them for a good deal much harder to find any of the others but going to look at a 2010 f250 with a 6.4L 4x4 with 164k miles for $15k. Been looking for months and all I can find is 6.0's.
Just food for thought, I found a drain tube on Amazon for the 5.9 that does not require using the extension, it slightly longer than the drain tube that's on our VGT turbo's and it has the right curvature from the S300 to the block.
Im from Madison county lived in winder ga for a year moved back to Elbert county I got a 95 f250 7.3 power stroke mine doing that random shut off while driving but it cranks back up like literally right back I don’t have to manually start truck back up unless truck is idling
trying to figure out mine doing exactly this. 96 7.3 powerstroke obs. seems to restart after take foot off the gas. and itll shut off randomly after driving for an ~hour
The brand is good , but the product isn’t top Quality. Just remember you get what you pay for. Don’t get me wrong , I’ve had the setup for a year and no issues, but I don’t how the machining from the turbo came out, had a few chips and could be a lot better. Sorry for late reply !
john dowe the nut at the end of ipr fell into the valley so when i would pull the wire it would cause the truck to turn off , just had to tighten the nut back on. Haven't had any problems ever since.
DatWhiteObs well I'm shit out of luck, I just installed a new one and the nut is on there pretty tight so this doesn't help lol. Been having hell trying to get my truck to stay on
DatWhiteObs yeah I had about four dudes work on it today cleaning all the grounds and everything, gonna buy another cps and see what it does. I already took out the pcm from another truck so maybe that might be it idk
