The 6.4 powerstroke is the worst engine ever made

Ford's 6.4 is arguably the worst Diesel engine ever put into service. You're gonna go broke on repairs.

Had an 08 F250, truck is a turd and kept having problems with the exhaust manifold bolts braking and the DPF filter, bought a DPF delete and a Spartan tuner set for 275HP and the truck was mean before the tuner i wouldnt pass a vehicle cause it was so slow but the tuner woke it up. About a year later the torque converters went to slipping and i traded it in. Granted the torque converter issue was me and the tuners fault cause is stayed romping on it. Now people say with it programmed you will stretch the head bolts and stuff and i disagree because a 275 tune and me behind the wheel would have definitely caused them to stretch
