I will keep all the stock parts so it can go back to stock before going to dealer for warranty work, most people do that

Thanks for the replies guys, looking for a 6.4 KR as of now but let me throw you guys another idea, what do you think about an 03-05 5.9cr?

Good engine, much lower quality truck IMO. Cant beat a King Ranch Ford

Also can still hit much higher hp number on just a tune with a 6.4 vs a 5.9, even a commonrail. The only reason I would ever buy a Dodge is so I could have a stick shift

I know Ford build quality is better and love the 08+ super duty but one of the main reasons I keep looking at different options is that having to take the cab off for any work in the 6.4 kind of scares me, I do most of the work myself but if cab needs to come up that means it would have to go to dealer. I like the simplicity of the 5.9 and how easy it is to work on it and overall a great engine that can be modified a lot

you can keep your stock parts and throw them back on there if work needs to be done, but remember, just cause you take it off doesn't make it want to go back on very easy, which is definitely the case with an egr delete, which i always recommend doing, but that is up to you, there are lots of other places that work on these trucks and pull the cabs that are not the dealerships, just need to find a decent diesel shop

I've owned 2 6.4's both 2008. Great handling, riding, and my opinion best looks in & out. But the fuel mileage sucks, still alot of lag on the low end even with the twins, and around 100k giving alot of trouble (not mine but several around where I live). Right now would be the perfect time to buy one, because they're traded in everywhere (why)? I had Cummins prior and back to Cummins now! Only my opinion!! But if you do get one I have a Spartan w/ CAT,DPF, Muffler delete 4" exhaust I'd sure like to get rid of!!!

Thats what I'm afraid of, I plan on keeping it for a long time and as much as I love the 08+ Super Duty if everytime I need to work on it have to take the cab off that will get expensive after the warranty expires.
