I could go on but I'm glad ours are still under warranty and most work has been done for free. Once the warranty is up bring cash and lots of it.
The 6.4 needs to have the two fuel filters changed every 15,000 miles & you must change your oil every 5,000 miles, You must drain the water out of your fuel every month, I've done this & my 2008 6.4 hasn't given me any problems.

I drove one of the new 6.7s and wasnt the least bit impressed. My 6.7 dodge i bought will run circles around it almost 400 horse or not. Get a 6.4 nothing a little spartan tuning wont fix

Where do you drain the water out of the fuel and do you need to still do this stuff if you have a tuner and dpf delete? I thought the 5000 mile oil changes were because of the fuel getting into the oil caused by the regen cycle!

Get a 6.4 spartan tuned and dont look back, save yourself from that 60000 dollar price tag and from having to **** in the tank to keep it from leaving your *** on the side of the road.

On the driver side, right on the frame you will see a canister with a nozzle, put a plastic soda or water bottle on the nozzle & pull the lever, a stream of diesel with water will drip out, let it run for 30 second & then CLOSE the lever smartly & tight. You have to do this to protect your injectors from the water REGEN will pour fuel into the oil SO change your oil no later than 5,000 miles

got a buddy in Orlando with the 6.4 that he drags - he's very happy with it... comes stock with lots of power and speed... like stated, run the tuner and exhaust and your good to go...

I recently purchased a 6.4 and I love it this makes the second powerstroke I have owned I had the awesome 7.3 but good luck finding one of those these days that's under a hundred thousand miles I had some trouble with the stupid water in fuel light turned out to be a bad sensor imagine that the only down fall I have with mine is the emissions bs but in the process of kicking it to the curb I average around 12 mpg with a small horse trailer or putting around town I am young so it gets drove like I stole it love the 6.4

My 6.4 is 4 years old & it hasn't broke down once, had the dpf light turn on, drove it hard & it went away
