If your theory was true, then every newer engine would have issues like the 6.0 did, and that's just not the case. 6.4 is doing pretty well, but has been much less problematic than 6.0's.


Dude apples to oranges a modded 7.3 to a stock 6.0 get real. Mod to mod the 6.0 will produce more power in every aspect. Exhaust,chip and intake! Im a fleet mechanic so i'm at my Ford dealer alot and the 6.4 have there share of problems and we have 2 of them..
Is the dyslexia kicking in? You basically said the 6.0 had more problems because it came with more hp/torque from the factory. 7.3's at 235-250, stock 6.0's at 325. That's just not the case, the 6.0 had some flaws, and guys were having HG and all kinds of other issues on stock tuning! Yes, mod to mod the 6.0 wins, but again you made no clarification in your initial post as to the trucks being modded or stock. And so far the 6.4 is leagues better than the 6.0 was when it came out.
