Things happen to all machines, fix it, get over it and get on with life. DO NOT let one thing bother you so much! Ford, Chevy, Dodge all have problems and are repaired. You kind of sound like someone that expects perfection out of a non perfect machine>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>WOW!!!!

Before I get flamed by all the Ford lovers, I was a third generation Ford lover and it was these kind of engine problems from Ford that allow me to drive a truck with a Cummins in it now. Flame suit on and waiting!!!

The 6.4 is really a roll of the dice. Navistar and Ford had an ugly divorce over the early 6.0 issues and unfortunately Ford couldn't wait to rid themselves of this relationship. The problem is that the 6.4 owners are really feeling the brunt. The motor was the first generation with the new emissions controls, mainly the DPF system. I am a frequent poster on the Ford diesel site and a new 6.7 owner. It is simply the best truck on the market, hands down. You may want to talk to your dealer about trading in your 6.4 for a 6.7, there have been some killer deals that have been worked, Ford wants to get 6.4 owners into 6.7s ASAP. It is an entirely different drivetrain.

Don't let the Dodge/Ram/Fiat guys get to you, they are still dreaming of the old 5.9 Cummins days, which are gone with 2007. The 6.7 Cummins has had plenty of its own problems, in fact it hasn't even been in the most recent shootouts because the Dodge simply isn't built to anywhere near the towing capacities of the Ford or GM products.

Not only is the 6.7 Powerstroke in its own class, it wasn't built with ANY government bailout money!! Good luck, hopefully you just had a sensor go out, at least it is still under warranty.

Well today I was driving home from getting one of my quads dynoed in Reno and all the sudden my truck just shut off at about 65 mph on the highway. I barely was able to get to the shoulder without getting hit. The computer said I had 35 miles until empty and I was waitin for a turn off but didn't make it there. I was 50 miles from home....

To make a nightmare of long story short, after having roadside assistance bring fuel, because I wanted to make sure the computer wasn't messing up and I wasn't out of fuel, it still wouldn't start. Ford said even if it did run out of fuel, just crank and it should start. Still no start......And the Wrench symbol was on the dash.....

About two hours later a tow finally comes and gets me. Now keep in mind I have a 12 ft trailer with a quad on it and I have no way to get the trailer back to my house because the tow will only take me to the nearest Ford Dealership. There was no way I was going to leave my custom R1 Raptor on the side of the road. So I had to have a buddy come with his truck to get me from the dealership or I would have had to pay about $180 more to take my trailer to my house which was about 20 miles farther than the dealership.

Ford would only cover taking a trailer for up to $200....Thank the Lord I didn't have my Cyclone and family with me out in the middle of nowhere because I would have been SCREWED! Anyway I am tired and exhausted from a nighmare of a day........I can't believe a 60K plus Ford F-250 King Ranch would crap out a less than 6,500mi...UNBELIEVEABLE! I did feel a lot better when I got to the dealership and they said "sorry for the inconvienience"......Not

I am convinced that these are just not good motors! I am supposed to go to the dunes for President's Weekend, and now I will be so paranoid that I will be stranded on the 10 hour drive to Dumont that I don't even know if I can do it! Imagine being stranded with a toy hauler three quads and your whole family. UNSAT....
