How Many Miles on you 6.4 Hemi??????

[6.4 dude]

I never turn MDS off on my 2500. My 5500 dropped a lifter at 63k and the only time MDS kicks in is when the pto is running. So from my experience the MDS has nothing to do with longevity....

Since most engine wear comes from the the first 10-15 minutes after a cold start. I think the amount of miles between cold starts has a lot more to do with how many miles an engine will go than MDS does.

If you put a lot of miles on your engines per cold start, then just about any engine will last many miles. The less miles you put on your engine between cold starts, the more wear per miles on the engine statistically.

That's a decent explanation. Thanks. Since I don't go anywhere that isn't at least a 30 minute drive I am less worried now haha!

Good looking truck McBroom. How much of a lift and tire sizes do you have? Semper Fi.

My 2018 has 8200 miles on it and engine light came on going down the highway in cruise control. Scanned it and it was a 3402 code. It knocks a little now when I start it. Bringing it to the dealer on Thursday. Im not happy about it. I really love the truck too....

Around 95,000km on the old girl!
Nothing major in terms of issues to report, just brakes and both rear calipers have seized at different times.

Well just a little over 13 mo. ago, my 2015 diesel's injector pump went out at 167,000 miles and it took the dealer about 4 weeks to get it going again. Long Story ($12,000 bill).

In any case, I needed a truck so I could keep working. When at the dealer looking at diesel truck, he ask, did you ever look at one of the 6.4s.
I said I tow with the truck, after showing me the tow rating, and that being more than my trailer could hold, I gave it some thought.

But what closed the deal was the Life Time Unlimited Mile Warranty.

Here is what I got:
1. Better fuel mileage
2. Lower Fuel Costs
3. More Horse Power - half the torque But near the same performance
4. Much better price on the truck
5. Repairs will only cost me $100.00

What a deal!

So,the dealership sold you that lifetime warranty knowing you are using your truck as a business ?

This was on my 2015 Ford F250 that I replaced with my 2016 Ram for work. Still have the ford.

The new gas trucks are much more reliable. This truck had pitted cams at 450000 miles, and now has over 630000 miles. Original transmission, axles, ac pump, and ps pump.

This is one impressive thread. SIMI love your post. I think i would like to do this type of job when i get out of healthcare. When i did DME we drove to our patients and i loved it. On my 18 i have 21,000 miles. Keep the post coming.

 

[Alexpaul09]

Just rolled 130,000 on my 14 tradesmen 6.4. I have a tune on it to turn off mds. Other than that I love the truck! I put 450 miles on it this weekend and hand calculated mpg was 16.2. Im happy with that out of a 3/4 ton gas!

 

[Alexpaul09]

There always seems to be a skeptic so here is a shot of the OD. Also all my posts start on page 6 of this thread.

What are you up to now?

 

[SMI]

This most likely is my final post on this truck.
Current mileage 420000. I am retiring the truck to personal use. Which means at most 3000 miles a year. The truck still runs and drives like new.
