Not quite. That motor is reliable as hell. However, Ford changed a ton of stuff on it after navistar said it wasn't a good idea. If that motor was such a turd than international wouldn't be running the ever loving **** out of them for 3/4 a million miles+. Ford changed the coolant, boost, that terrible ****ing EGR valve, all the emissions bullcrap..... I could go on all day.

This is a funny video. I had to watch it a few times. The worst part of it all was that the Chevy was a 6.0l Vortec and he was talkin crap to the Cummins driver. He was stupid to even think about hooking a gas burner to a diesel. It ruined all 4 tires, broke tie rod ends, ruined front bumper, and possibly transmission and transfer case. At the end of the video, the driver of the Chevy got out and pulled a gun on the Cummins driver. Thats the reason why they stopped the vid.

Does the same thing on the 6.4. Bought the EGR delete kit and my cooler cracked the day after. No hydrolock, though. Pulled it straight into the shop and got to work. Took me about 5 hours spread over two days. Cooler EGT's and don't have to worry about a cooler cracking ever again.

No. And I don't really care to have it dyno'd. Thousands of other 6.4's running the same set up, dyno'd at between 575-625HP and around 1300lbs. That's good enough for me. And like I said, I wasn't trying to turn this into an argument. Just sticking up for the other Powerstrokes. Why do I need to prove this to you anyway?
EDIT: For the sake of different dyno's giving different numbers, we'll say 500-600.
Are you offended? Lol.

But I'm not talking about the ones that went in international trucks. The ones that went in the Fords were ****. Hell the recalls on the 6.0 where the cause of the lawsuit that resulted in Ford dropping international and why they came out with the 6.7 scorpion that Ford designed and made themselves.
