I have had mine for a little over a year. has 50k on it and only thing that I have had to do is get some exhaust sensors cleaned. Other than that I like it, good power, rides great compared to the 6.0. Fuel milage is not the best though.

Hard on fuel, some had issues with the radiators. Overall all not a bad truck, I was a service director for at a Ford and Chevy dealer during the 6.4l life cycle. At the time I held onto my 04 6.0 and waited to buy a 12.. Don't let anyone fool ya, all diesel trucks the no matter the brand have there issues. Ive worked on both Ford and Chevy, theres a reason I drive a blue oval. I wouldn't even look at a chysler product, POS!!!!!!!!!

I had one no problems, buddy has an 09 and another a 10 all same engine. No problems with all three of ours with a combined 200 miles. They suck at MPG but they all do after 2007 because of the DPF. Like the guy above said dont let anybody fool you they all have their issues.

I got rid of mine in favor of a F150, if you dont need diesel dont buy it.

Since you started the eco boost thread I assume you own one. If i didn't need mine 6.7 for towing I would be all over one of these. My boss has one and it seems like a sports car compared to my f250. The eco boost sips fuel, has crazy power and rides like a dream!!!!! Sorry for the off topic!!!!

W/ a tuner & deleted dpf & cold air intake the trucks can make 500+hp & 1100+trq to the wheels. Delete the EGR & cooler as well. 15mpg around town....
