Nice truck, man. Too bad it's not gold BTW, either of those chicks in the background worth taking a second, closer look at? :P

the one in blue is stacked up nicely

Damn, I wasn't aware that the 6.4s were that far superior to the 6.0. Are the fuel systems reliable on these things?

It looks like there are deals to be had, I may have to add to the list of prospective vehicles.

I've always been a fan of the trucks, but my buddy repeatedly had issues with the fuel system on his 6.0. It was stolen a few months ago, so he doesn't have to deal with it anymore, but it turned me off of the PS for a while. I drove a 4th gen, and it was pretty stout for stock and the trans felt solid.

6.0's were rock bottom for the Powerstroke name....the bright side is that they could only get better from there. I've known several guys that owned them....most ended up hating them. They make decent power, but get a D- on the reliability side. It sucks too b/c the trucks themselves were still pretty damned nice through those years. The resale on a 6.0 sucks....and because of that I've always thought it would be good to buy one from that era and do a Cummins transplant into it.

Really. I'd hate to change the spark plugs on that damn thing. :wink1:

Did anybody else catch this?

Nice truck, Forrest!

I did, I didn't figure it was worth commenting on. Lame attempt at trolling, IMO.

Nice.

Change the fuel filters every 10k max and drain the water separator weekly.

I stopped by the local ford dealer a couple weeks ago and they had two with the cabs off, a 09 and a 10 model, both getting entire fuel system replacements. Had another in the parking lot waiting. If they find any rust in the HPFP they are trying to get out of warranting the repair. Ford denied the 2010 for a warranty. Hopefully they have good auto insurance because it is a $7-8k repair.

Radiators are also shit. They will tell you that is a 08 problem, but I have a 09 that just had one leak due to a shitty thermostat design. I'd check the tsb on the thermostat and replace both of them.

Otherwise, enjoy it and don't pay attention to the non dodge like fuel economy. I still like mine and towing with it is insane.

I refuse to accept Forrest bought a powerstroke.

This is the same guy that bagged on me over the 7.3L for years.

I'm really anal about filling up with fuel. I always tip some for the homies and smell the nozzle and won't hesitate to hang it up and go to a different station if it doesn't look right or smells sour or any trace of gasoline

I've used that technique for 10+yrs since I got my first diesel and haven't ever had a fuel system issue (knocking on wood!)

But yes, that's excellent advice for any diesel owner!
