AM LOOKING INTO BUYING AN 08 6.4
 
I am looking at buying an 08 f250 with the 6.4 for my wife. I was looking at getting a dodge between the years of an 05 to an 07 with a 6 spd. But been doing alot of research and am really liking what I have been seeing out of the 6.4.. I would have never thought of getting a newer diesel, but with a tuner, exhaust, intake, and egr delete you guys are making a hell of alot more power with these things without breaking the bank. For what I have in my 02 dodge money wise, her ford is going to spank my ass. I am not brand loyal, for I have had 3 7.3 powerstrokes previously. I just like good ole simple easy power.:tu:

What is the best spartan, or h&s, Do they make a 5 inch turbo back exhaust. She wants it loud!!!

Am not worried bout warrenty, Will probably go straight to shop from the dealer to get the performance goodies added. Am looking for good mpgs. What are the best set-up for mpgs

Everything I've read is that the '08 trucks get ~13-15MPG, maybe a little better deleted and tuned. The '09-'10 trucks seem to be getting better MPGs.

Nobody makes a 5" turbo back, just a 4"dp then into a 5" setup.

As for tuners it's all personal preferance but for MPGs and DD SCT or H&S get my vote.

I haven't heard a 6.4 that I would say is loud as of yet, most sound like an oversized hair dryer.

I just bought an 08 myself last weekend (My lovely mother totaled out my 06 6L) and have about a thousand miles on it already i am getting 19mpg on the highway and 14 in town. i have been doing some research on thoroughbreddiesel.com with h&s tunners, they have a dyno sheet at all performance levels for the xrt programmer which is runs the same programing but is more of a plug and play not plug versus change on the fly that i can get with mini maxx. I have decided on the mini maxx programmer for myself as i like to see more than what the stock gauge cluster offers, also i havnt decided on intake or exhaust setup since there are not really any tests that i have found proving one better than the other. I am leaning toward the H&S intake and flo pro exhaust. If anyone can point a direction on intake and exhaust it would be appreciated

I have an 08 F250 SD XLT and have no problems with it. I have the H&S Black Maxx tuner installed now. I had a Bullydog but it had no EGR delete function so I upgraded.

I have been getting 16.5 to 17.5 mpg with Diesel nr 2 this winter.

Before the EGR delete I was getting 12 to 14 depending on where I filled up. Now I only fill up at one station.
