| 6.4s are pretty good pickups. Just delete the dpf and you'll be good!

| Yup, the DPF needs to go ASAP. They also do well with a EGR delete. Once that's done, the 6.4 is pretty solid. It's fairly common to put down 580-590RWHP with just a H&S hot damn tune, DPF free exhaust and a upgraded Intake....on a Stock trans! .

| they still blow headgaskets. go a head and put the big tune on, but save your money for studs. also the long blocks won't last near as long as say a cummins or duramax. they have lifter problems in the heads, their ring gaps are "loose" allowing for alot of blow-by and even problems with "making oil" , fuel in the oil. also have problems with cracking pistons.

| I'd watch out for the "job one" 2008 trucks if you can. They look and run badass if you dump about 2 grand into one. I'd rock a KR 6.4 if I felt comfortable with reliability long term.

| front crank seals leaking, cooling system leaks are common, egr coolers blowing, injector bodies craking causeing fuel in oil (just like an lb7) bedplate leaking oil, h/p fuel pump leaking fuel into the crankcase (cab has to come off for that job) up-pipe bellows cracking causing turbo lag, ive replaced around 15 short blocks due to cylinder washout causing major gouging in the cylinder walls would you like to hear more?
