Default 6.4

Picked up my new (to me) 6.4 last night.

That thing is as refined as my wifes tahoe!! It's quiet, smooth, rides nicely, etc.....

Amazing what 2 decades of technology advancement can do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't wait to put the boat behind it and see what it feels like.

I kind of just want to go out joy riding, but better focus on finishing the pier/lift..................

If we are talking about the 6.4 Power Stroke, then I would not even worry about 8 MPG. Depends on size of boat behind truck, when I pulled my 42 Fountain got 8-9 MPG not bad with gross wt of 24,000lbs. When I went to Florida last year to get my 32 CC I got 10-11 MPG. Not bad when going up and down the hills of TN. at 70-75MPH.

You gonna love it!! My 6.4 has been great, smooth quiet, powerful, interior is very tough looking & holds up well! I use the $hit out of my trucks without any complaint.

I tow about 50 miles a year, and don't base any life decisions on fuel mileage, otherwise I'd be driving a prius and doing poker runs in my Lazer.....

I just can't wait till the warranty is up and I can delete DPF and EGR. Truthfully, if I find a good deal on an H&S mini maxx before the warranry is up I'm going to do it anyways.

Be careful with the Spartan, great tuner but the stock head bolts & gaskets only like about 48 -50 PSI. Trust me mine wold smack 54-55 psi hauling a load ( that was stupid!) save your $5000 for the new gaskets & studs which are way more then the 6.0 studs for some reason. Custom tune that Spartan to de - fuel around 45 psi it will save you a lot of time & money.

Should have a blowoff rigged on there somewhere , when you turn off the egr you loose that safety margin .
