While the 6.4 seems to be alot better engine all the way around than the 6.0, it still remains to be seen how well it does on the long haul. Biggest reasons for me not to go diesel this time was all of the EPA crap, regen/soot bag, fact that to work on the 6.4 one must lift the cab, and the $7200 additional cost for the diesel engine. Not to mention the huge difference in maintenance costs between a diesel and a V-10 gasser. In the Truck Trend tests a couple of years ago, the Ford V-10 matched or beat all of the other gassers and all of the diesel pickups except for the 6.4 on a steep pull, and then only by 100 feet at the top. Believe me, your V-10 will not be embarrassed by any stock diesel and with a programmer installed will keep up with most of them at alot less cost.
