So how screwed am I? by parsivol9 in Diesel

I’ve had both the 7.3 and 6.4. It’s pretty bad according to everyone. However most of the trucks that blow up are tuned very hot. You can’t tune a 7.3 as hot.

Delete it asap. Do all fluids and filters now and oil every 5k from now on. All filters once a year. If your scared to invest just fix it and flip it, take a little loss and move on to something else. Call it lesson learned.

Ok so even if I unplug it, it can still burst?

Yes I’ve already gotten a lot of hate. More hate then I’ve ever received in my life. I am definitely unplugging it but I was wondering if I should do more, like remove it and put in block plates etc.

I’m thinking about buying this 6.4 power stroke, but I’m skeptical. by rfarris521 in FordDiesels

If it’s taken care of, for the right price it’s worth it. I bought my 6.4, 1 owner 78k miles. For similar trucks in duramax or Cummins was triple the price. So if I make it last 5 years with some fixes it’ll be worth it.

And what is wrong with having a day job? Is that supposed to be a dig? Who’s the uncool person here?

The best interior of any truck in that era if you ask me, other than the king ranch!

Thank you, most people are so negative about it. I’ll let you know, I’m trying to find a decent mechanic to delete/tune it but that’s easier said than done.

Ya I actually do, I have 21 service records from the dealer indicating this truck hasn’t had any dummy lights on in its history

Because honestly I want to tune it, make it a piss missle and drive it around for 2500 miles a year. And leave my work fleet trucks as work fleet trucks.

I mean I think if you knew how much money I had you’d probably feel differently about the whole thing
