Help me decide between the 6.4 or the 6.0

[BigBlackFord91]

I am about to by a used diesel truck and I am having a problem deciding. My options are either a 6.0 or the 6.4. If i buy the 6.0 I will have the money left to drop on Head studs, gaskets, and egr delete. If I go with the 6.4 I won't have the extra to spend on a lot of mods. The truck will prolly make about 3 trips from Ga to Mission, Tx pulling a loaded gooseneck. I will also be making 200 mile round trips about twice a month with a 45 mile round trip to work during the week. I am mechanically capable and have a good bit of tools. I would like to know which you would pick and why. And what Mods i would need to make to both in short order. Thank you for your time in advance.

Get a 6.4!!!!
get the 6.4 delete the DPF with a tuner, intake, and exhaust- thats all you need thats about $1200 and can be installed by anyone that can turn a wrench!!!!!!

i absolutely love mine

I would have to agree here, the 6.4 is a beast!!!

I considered the same thing, but remember the 6.0's had injector and turbo issues as well. Im told the 6.4's transmission is a little more sturdy. And like the other guys have said the 6.4's are easy to tune. tuner, dpf delete, intake & exhaust and your done. Dont have to worry about the rest. Mileage sucks for them both and I like the newer style as well. Just dont get a job 1, the job 1's dont allways have trouble but IMHO its just best to stay away from them. Good luck!

yeah im pushing close to 600HP at the rear wheels and my tranny is holding up just fine

I recommend the 6.4L. Mine is stock and tows my 26' trailer with an ATV and dirt bike in the bed just fine. Buy the 6.4L and wait a little if you want to do a tune and exhaust later.

Either way you go, I think your going to get an awesome truck! Good luck.

6.4 all the way..

I went from 7.3, to 6.0 and now on to 6.4...

Night and day difference.. the 6.4 is so much more refined.. Better suspension, sterring, power... did I mention power.. Stock it feels better, tuned its unbeleivable...

ive had 2 6.0's , my 6.4 blows them away on power, and IMO the styling is better.............hell its worth it for the power mirrors alone
