Thread: Ford 6.4L self destructs on it's maiden voyage

I have yet to read of similar instant destruction stories for a 5.9L or a 6.7L Cummins. I read a few pages back on the "powerstroke.org" forums, and there were a surprising number of them. Sure, it could be just a fluke here and there as will happen with any engine, but there just seemed to be more "kaboom" stories than I expected. As far as "bashing" goes, I will come out and say I would...

my buddy just bought a brand new ford about 3 months ago no problems yet and when i bought the truck in my sig i got a bunch of crap from him about buying a dodge I told him we will see who has the most problems while i have this truck my goal is to keep it till it dies I got a extended 4 year warranty and will do my best to blow the tranny out by then I did my homework before i purchased and ruled out ford all together, he had a 7.3 and it...
