I know the 6.7 are good , I pull 272 d cat skid loader with a 16" goose neck dump trailer they would be around 15k to pull around I seen on you tube they have trouble with the 6.4 ? I know the 6.4 has 350 hp vs 390 with the 6.7 I am trying to pick between the 2 . one is 2008 with the 6.4 has 118 k for $15k vs the 2013 6.7 with 166k for $ 20k both f-350, wife like the 15 k over 20 k , lol

The early 6.4's had quite a few problems. There is a you tube channel where the guy works on nothing but Ford Powerstrokes if you want more info on them, you could watch a few of his videos. If I remember correctly, the turbos were junk because of poor design and ceramic bearings also, they had a problem with heads cracking among other issues. Here is the guy's channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQz2vFEc1m-WGKf6g-pz9DA

If this is going to be a work truck, go for a 7.3 or T444E (same as 7.3 but electronic ) BUT, if this is not for a "work" truck, stay away from a diesel. They are more expensive to repair than a gasser. For an example. Spark plugs on a gasser, $50 or less for an 8 pack. Injectors for a T444E $300 each!
BUT, yes I said but again. A 7.3 or T444E will last a long time. It really depends on what you are using it for and how often.

I have 2 7.3l a 6.4l and a 6.7l. The 7.3s were great in their time, the 6.4 is good but I had to put 7000 into the engine to make it good, and the 6.7 puts them to shame! Get the 6.7l
