Ford 6.4l Diesel

[djh3]

Well still on the hunt for a different (new to me) truck. Latest find is a 2010 F 250 4wd with 128k and 6.4l diesel motor. Anyone have one? I dunno it actually has more miles on it then my 96 Ram 2500 cummins. but I am after a crew cab truck. Have ead probably a half dozen or so threads about the 6.4 and cant make any better determination than before. They did have some oil cooler issues, also read about front cover and water cavitation causing wear holes in cover. The regen thing seem to be the biggest sticky point, and the water seperator. I would rather have the newer one but my gosh they want huge money for anything 14 or newer.

The 2011 and up are all the same with the 6.7 diesel and they are very worry free if maintained. I had a 2012 and put 386,000 on it transporting RV trailers without any issues.

The chassis under those 250s is one of the best chassis ever built in my opinion. They are tough and you can abuse the snot out of them and they'll keep running. They use them in a lot of Rail Yards for maintenance vehicles and they mount specially add on stuff to the back. The company I work for has one of those trucks and it is easily the most problem-free vehicle we have. The way they have it configured it doesn't have a lot of get-up-and-go but it'll pull a fully loaded semi and trailer out of a snowbank.

I have an 05 F350 Dually with the 6L engine.It has north of 300k and still pulls like a monster.

I just have a tough time thinking a 8 or 9 year old vehicle with 130k on it is worth 20k. My 96 2500 Cummnis has less miles. I'm just frugal, the wife says cheap. Whatever..... Called Credit Onion and they tell me because of age APR is 6.29 and because of "high mileage" only go 36 months. Hmm I hate to pull that much out of savings but dang. Really would rather have a 2012 up due to diesel engine. I'm OK with a gas rig too. Just happened to be this one is diesel.
