the_twig_187 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 ??? wow that's a little much.... honestly I don't see a lot of 6.4's at all I would say of all the engines im the least knowledgeable with the 6.4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmorris Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 What type of failures are we seeing here? Anytime we get a reman back is usually because the customer cranks up the chip and feels they have to pass everyone on the highway doing 150 km/hr while pulling a trailer.

cbriggs Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Which is likely why it has a reman in it to start with. Slow learners out there..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Mutter Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 All reman's are junk right now it's seems, check out this 6.0 another tech had in the shop. It was a fresh reman, yeah right who passed this block Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Amacker Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Wow is right. Who put the green coolant in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Mutter Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 The tech working on the truck did when he put the long block in, he is very new to the diesel game . That engine in the picture has less then 500 kms on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Bruene Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I despise 6.4s. Worst engine ever. But, they do provide me with a very comfortable living! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forddieseldoctor Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 We don't get many 6.4's by us. I don't know if it's good or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Mine has 221,000 on it, my buddy has 256,000 on his. No real issues to speak of. We are both pretty fussy on maintenance, and neither truck is stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leavnon3rd Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 just saw this thread, it was mentioned today at a monthly "whats going on" meeting, since mid 2014 we have installed 26 reman 6.4 engines, 5 didnt make it 2 weeks before it needed another reman ( come in with torched holes or busted pistons and rods) and 11 more didnt make it 6 months with out some type of major failure. If it makes it past the 6 month mark its a good piece. lol i was told that the people rebuilding the remans for ford cant fix lunch nevermind machine and clearance a engine.

lmorris Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 How about complete assemblies with turbo's that don't work. At idle MGP reads -0.19 PSI, rev it up and it DROPS to -2.16 PSI. On road test it wouldn't make boost until over 2700 RPM. It's not the exhaust because EBP stays at 13.9 when idling and the VGT won't cycle either. I first checked it key off and it was stuck, managed to free it up, then it works intermittently, sometimes it cycles when you turn the key on, sometimes it won't. Now you can move it by hand with the engine running, the turbo end of it works because EBP will fluctuate when I move it. Can't use active commands on VGT, and VGT measured shows 99.9% no matter where I move it to by hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbriggs Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I got a reman chra for a 6.0l last month that had at least half of the pin that moves the unison ring wore off. One side was completely flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyt Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 one of my tech's just put a complete 6.4l in and it made it 24 hours,came back on the hook with no oil pressure,started the teardown and found the nut on the turbo impeller had come off and started a chain reaction and destroyed 1 head and piston.took out bearings,etc....had a very unhappy tech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff_E Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Another guy at my dealer just installed a 6.4 long block. It made it 300 miles before ingesting enough coolant to hydrolock. He is taking it apart now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forddieseldoctor Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Just installed a complete reman in an 08 F450. Started it up and the right up-pipe is hissing away from the flex joint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
