guessing its a 6.0 he has now or no?

if its a 6.4 i would still keep it. trust me these things are stout....alot more than the 6.0's ever were stock.

chit just happens some times. how many miles on the truck? is it stock? tuned? etc....

If it's an 07, it's a 6.0

If he's in the right place financially, I'd buy a 6.4 over a 6.0 in a heartbeat.

Them damn things are proving themselves pretty well.

6.4's have been pretty problem free, at least in my area.

Everyone I talk to around here is telling me the 6.4's are worse than the 6.0's and I just have no clue where they're getting their info from... Seems like the stories are spreading worse than the 6.0 stories in my area.

I'd trade my 6.0 in any day for a 6.4 if I could afford it. I can not wait to get one.

I was doing 5-7 of them a week at peak.

They are now blaming the thermostats for causing the radiator failures.
