    I bought my 2009 6.4 with 71,000 miles on it. I drove it about 10k miles before the DPF gave me problems. I deleted the DPF but not the EGR. It now has 138,000 miles and I haven’t had any problems at all with it. I towed a 15,000#Toy Hauler and now have a 3,000# slide in truck camper. It’s not a daily driver so if I’m driving it, it’s getting a workout from towing light weight trailers or the above mentioned bigger loads. So far I’m very happy with the truck. Rides great for a bigger truck and I love the features that the King Ranch provides. P.S. I run a H&S mini and keep it in Stock mode all of the time. I just got back from Colorado with the truck camper and flat towing a Jeep (way over loaded) I pulled it over McClure Pass and Independence Pass and had plenty of power.

  • @blakebreckenridge
    @blakebreckenridge 2 года назад +4

    A 6.4 turbo setup is a compound setup, anytime you feed a turbo with another turbo it compounds the boost pressure, reason why a 6.4 can make 40psi of boost stock and 45+ with a mild tune. The bigger turbo makes about 20psi and feeds the smaller high pressure VGT turbo, the VG turbo doesn't have any idea the incoming air is already compressed and it compresses it again, that is compound turbocharging.

    It might be a good idea to switch out the 2 rear manifold bolts on both sides,
    they will eventually break off.
    If you do a DPF delete then don't worry about the bolts.

      depends on what you have planned for it, i know you can buy these turbos in 2 sections. So if it is the high pressure or lower pressure. low pressure is $600 and a high pressure is $1,200 or you get after market. That is you doing the work yourself. again it all depends what you plan and future with the truck. If it was me, i would replace it. hope this helps!

      FreeWheelin' just replace them. eBay has a choice of either replacing them or rebuilding them. They go for $780 fully rebuilt turbos, complete. You can always rebuild them. The kit for the high pressure and low pressure goes around $126.00 :) they are not very hard to do, they are easy. The problem is if you have a lift, if not it's still ok, a 4x4 piece of wood between the body and frame will have enough clearance to work in it, they can be placed just on the front. Trust me, done it many times.

Obviously the cummins isn't going to have the power of a 6.4, but I would value the peace of mind much more.

      @@hummincummins5413 thanks for the comment, I am loving this feed back this video is getting. The thing with the 6.4 from what i have researched the 6.4 is a temperamental engine from design to parts that where put on it. Most of the problems are the emissions system, but what that system is doing is putting extra fuel and heat in the engine. The fuel dilutes the oil and takes away the cross hatching and the that heat is doing is stressing parts such as pistons, injectors, turbos, coolant system, etc. So by deleting it you solve some problems (but EPA does not like that) but not all. Other problems you have is bad valve guilds due to it is steel on steel, front housing leaks due to capitation because of the larger water pump, plastic radiators end caps that fail. These issues can and have been addressed in the aftermarket world that make it a more reliable engine, now i am not saying its a 5.9 Cummins or studded 6.0. But with money spent right you can have a good engine that I see lasting 500K.

      Doug Veraska when I say “bumper pull” what I am refuting to is a hitch receiver. My truck has a class 5 hitch receiver that is rated to 17,000 lb. Also to remember is that the trail weight is 16,000 lb but only 1,600 lb is on the truck (10% of the weight of the trail is on the truck). And in the camper world a bumper pull trailer refers to a travel trailer as in it uses a hitch receiver and not a 5th wheel connection.

      I have also watched all of PH with Bill and he has a lot of experience working on these trucks and had one personally and it whet of fire (very odd.) But the more research I did, I am finding people are getting good miles out of there trucks with proper maintance. There are a lot of bad ones out there, but every now and than there could be a good one. Hopefully mine is one of them.

      Bill is entertaining and his niche is 6.0's the 6.4's that he had to deal with just wasn't worth his time and didn't make enough profit on i'd say too not saying he is stupid or wrong for not working on them anymore but it all comes down to taking care of it and being prepared that one day any of your vehicles will break and will need towed.

      And then you have it towed and swap a cummins in. Everything breaks eventually.
