So ive decided im going to be selling my very clean rust free 2007 6.7. To hopfully replace it with a equally as clean 2nd or 3rd gen with a 6speed. As i am prowling fb market place to see whats local... Quite a few 6.4 powerstrokes popped up and i couldnt help but to ponder. If any one buys these things any more? High school kids that want a diesel to roll coal and have 3ft offset tires? As they are cheap and people practicly give them away. Also makes you wonder if its just the same trucks , getting sold and traded over and over to the next victom. Hmmmmmm

That's why most Members will make there trucks the way they want them if they really like them. So why not just do a swap then you'll have your perfect truck?

Because if i do a 6 speed swap ,you can get them close to factory. But its still not factory fit and finish. Also i want to go back to a pre emission truck. If my h&s tuner ever fails, its will be hard to get my truck back up n going because of the epa cracking down on tuners

I got rid of my 4th gen pieces of crap and went back to pre emissions with stick shift.

I don't think many members here would buy a 6.4L powerstroke. They aren't exactly known as being a super reliable engine or easy to work on. Well, the diehard ford owners will tell you that once you've gotten proficient at ripping off the cab, they're easy to work on. The good news is, if you buy a 6.4L, you'll get very proficient at ripping the cab off relatively quickly it seems. They seem to hold power ok stock though.

Their turbo setup is a nightmare. Not for the shade tree mechanic with the cab removal for many repairs.

They are great Cummins swap candidates Comfy cab, solid trans and strong suspension.

Sadly, I can probably guess why you are getting rid of your clean 3rd Gen 6.7L truck...

A little research about Ford Powerstroke 6.0L and 6.4L diesel engines (and Ford 5.4L gas engines) will tell you why those trucks are so cheap to buy.

I buy used stuff often, with vehicles and firearms, I never jump on the items I consistently see for sale on mass, cheap.

there’s a good reason it’s hard to find a clean older Cummins powered truck.

Not sure I would get ride of the 6.7 either TBH.

 

[j98]

I don't see why you'd get rid of that truck either tbh. There are still plenty of options out there for tuning, just not openly discussed.

Might just have to make a trip to Chinandia and get some metric mods done.

Truck is a play toy, sits 90% of the time.. want a 6speed hand shaker so i dont need to worry about the 68rfe. Want pre emission so i dont have to worry about that bs. Yes there may be options now.. but what about 5-10 yr from now

I know why the 6.4s sell cheap... The 5.4 is really a good motor, they made a bazillion of those things and alot of them are still going with 200k+ miles

200k+ miles with cam phasers clacking away.

The 5.4 Triton is a pos. Such a light weight head that spark plugs were popping out of the head.

I don't like the sound or smell of Fords.

hmmm I have a 68RFE and dont worry one bit about it... best trans I ever had TBH. Sounds like your taking in too much interweb myths. Also what makes you think the 6speed is any better?

I get, I do. If you just want emission free and a stick, go for it! just don't fool yourself into thinking the reasons are because the 68rfe is a timebomb and the emissions stuff is actually a problem. Chasing that logic you are going to unhappy with the new truck for its "interwebs fact-checked Ackelses heal"

What mods do you have done to your 68RFE?

It's the worst transmission I've ever owned by far made worse in combination by the factory shift points. I would pay good money to put a G56 in but before I go there I was going to try a new valve body and higher line pressures. I was also going to try making my own TCM tune because the ones that I have tried hold third gear way too long.

I have heard the 4.5 gen and up 68RFE are a different beast because of a new valve body and also better gearing.
