DeStroking a Ford is the best thing that could happen, and that 6.4 is not that much better than your previous 6.0 POS !

7.3 is the best motor they had, but it will NEVER be better than a B series Cummins... EVER !

Counting out the #53 blocks.... but they aren't even that prone to fail...

Those are 1000hp-1200hp trucks with many custom built parts. Those trucks are not expected to last. From a reliability stand point, the 12v cummins is one and the 7.3 powerstroke is number two. When reliability is discussed, a 6.0 and 6.4 are at that bottom. Ill admit the 6.0 got alot of bad flack from the earlier motors that rolled out but enough people have had problems with them that its common knowledge that they can be problamatic. Same as the 24v Cummins because of the VP-44 injection pump. Difference is it takes one piece of equipment to fix that and I dont have to lift the cab to install it. I know some 6.0 owners are very sensitive so I tried to be as nice as possible.

Remember you can want power. reliability, and low cost but you can only have 2 out of three.
