The 6.0L did not meet the next tier of emissions requirements, hence the 6.4L. I bet when everything is said and done, the 6.4L, in it's 3 year life span, will end up costing Ford nearly the same as the 6.0L in it's 7 years of existance. Warranty repair costs are very very very high. Whenever there is an engine failure, Ford has the dealer do a cost cap. If it's over a certain mark, they usually send out an inspector and approve a engine. If the cost cap is below, the dealer repairs what ever the concern is (short block, cylinder head, ect.). Typical cost caps for me average $5,000 to $8,000 for a 6.0L. The last one I did for a 6.4L was nearly $18,000 after a horizontal EGR cooler went out. I believe the 6.7L will be a solid engine. Ford produces a lot of diesel engines in Europe and those are bullet proof. The 2011 is the only Super Duty I'd consider buying since the 7.3L
