Default Hows the reliability?

I have a 2008 F-350 with 30,000 on it. I was wondering what kind of miles people have on them and how they are holding up? Thanks

they are better than the 6.0 but not as good as the 7.3. but if you dont go crazy with your mods it will run a good while

got 67k on mine and its runs good other than i blew the trans apart on the dyno.. best thing to do for longivity:

tune (MODERATE),dpf/doc delete and an intake.. bumps the mpg's way up and will never put diesel in the oil due to not regening.. plus at that stage if you keep the power output to a minimum you wont have to worry about much going wrong persay.. but every one and ever truck is different.

I have the CAT/DPF deletes with an S&B intake, i know that will help it with longevity. I was just wondering if anyone has up to 200,000, and wondering how its doing

I have had my '10 for 4 months and 14,000 miles, and I am greatly dissapointed. It has been running like ****. When its in Regen, sitting at a redlight the truck will start missing and shaking the truck, and on ocassion it will spit and sputter on take off and blow white smoke. and other times, you can lay into it and it will cut out, loose power like it is not getting fuel. Taking it in tuesday....
