Ford F-450 with 6.4 diesel

I've been keeping these valves in mind for special applications.

About Fumoto Valves | Fumoto

If you're considering doing some oil testing Buppies, you might want to get one of these fumoto valves for your 6.4 - easy to sample with, before the end of a regular interval.

My friend at the dealer tells me the 6.4 has lots of issues, especially turbos, but the 6.7 is better but not without issues, mostly exhaust add-ons for Nox control that fail early. If you buy new buy their extra warranty, I think it's 5 grand extra.

So sad, it's not just Ford but most OEMs are having issues, choose your poison then pay, Fred

Great thread. Every time I think of buying a new truck, I read some of these repair threads and feel lucky I have an 18 year old vehicle!
These repair bills are scary! I know guys with Ferraris and other exotic cars that spend less.

The thread has cured me permanently of diesel envy.

Article in the new sept/oct Truck Trend Magazine talks about a problem trend with the Ford diesels. It affects '99-'10 F250, F350, F450 pickup, F550 diesel cab and chassis, E-series van, or class C motorhome. The coating on the inside of the fuel tanks is delaminating and sending tiny flakes through the fuel system. It can affect everything from the tank filters to the injectors.

Glad I swapped in a 57 gallon transfer flow tank!!

Thanks for posting that. Sent it to a buddy on the left coast - after he gets through checking the glow plugs for an occasional starting issue, this is something else to consider.....
