My 2008 F-250 6.4 PowerSTROKE diesel has 52,300 miles bought brand new on 10/23/2008
does it have the dual turbos or just the single and whats your opinion on the 6.4 over the 6.0 and 7.3. Ive been lead to believe to stay away from the 6.0s and I never really heard much about the 6.4s
The 6.4 have dual turbos, It's better than my old 1999 7.3 in everything except adding fuel, while you can pour multiple fuels in a 7.3 (the 6.4 should only use ULSD, they say 5% bio-diesel is ok, but I wouldn't use it) also you M U S T drain the water out of the fuel every month(very simple to do, just open a valve on the fuel filter for 30 seconds, then close it) & change both fuel filter N O later than 15,000 miles BTW I haven't had any issues with my 6.4does it have the dual turbos or just the single and whats your opinion on the 6.4 over the 6.0 and 7.3.

FORD said change fuel filter every 20,000 miles if you don't tow, drive hard, If you tow, drive the truck hard or drive in dusty condition every 10,000 miles, also FORD said N O additives, DPF makes these 6.4 fuel sensitiveIs that in the Ford Manual? I've never heard that. I change my filters about every 10k on our diesels. We run some red thru our 6.4 once in a while and it does fine. Bio-diesel would help add lubricity to the fuel since they're taking a lot of the sulpher out of the fuel. I put some 2 Cycle injection oil in my Duramax once in a while to help keep the injectors lubed up. Had one on my work truck that was out of spec and I ran some 2 cycle oil in it for about 10 tank fulls and it's back in spec and runs smoother.

Sold my van a year and half ago, it had 425,000 miles on it. ran into the new owner of it and he has it up to 439,000. All original engine and it still does not burn oil, leaks it but does not burn it.
