My buddy has 149,xxx on his 08 King Ranch, SCT Livewire, dpf/cat delete, 5" MBRP dual exit exhaust, S&B intake... all he does is routine maintenance... Only thing hes replaced was front hubs at 140k. He loves it and all the power... plus the 21 MPG he gets makes me jealous with my 6.0! Im thinking about trading up!

THREE things you must do to your 6.4 (1) M U S T drain the water out of the fuel ONCE a month(2) M U S T change your oil by 5,000 miles(3) M U S T change your two fuel filters no later than 15,000 miles. Do these three things & your 6.4 will last

I hope i can get the reliability that 3/4 of owners say they have. The other 1/4 seem to have alot of trouble, so far so good at 34,000.
