I have 08 f 350 with 312000. On its 3rr motor and 6 radiators, other than that all original. Thats original trans and even the rotors are original and it weights over 10500 lbs! Work truck. Thank god for extended warrenty to 200k. Last motor at 161k
104,000 ony 09 f450 with no problems since I bought new but after reading all the post about motor replacements I don't know of this truck is worth keeping any longer, the problem is I have 3 years of payments left and am not financially to by a new truck right now and I put on 30 k a year in my business, so should I be really scared of this truck or are there lots of 6.4 out there with good track records

Met a transporter today with a 08 f450, 300,000 miles! He is on his third engine. He said the last one lasted the longest, the first two were in the first 100k miles.

2008 King Ranch Crew Cab-8'bed-4wd. 178,800 miles and have owned since new. I pull 7 different trailers moving our construction equipment average 400 to 600 miles jobsite to jobsite. At 138,000 miles extended warranty covered replacement of both turbos-were not out, just seeping a little. I paid to have both enternal coolers and oil cooler replace with products from Bullet Proof in Phoenix. Lifetime warranty on parts. Transmission serviced every 50,000 miles. Royal Purple 15w-40 in engine since day I brought home in fall of 2008. Delete exhaust-open except for muffler. Never had a major problem. Never added oil between changes. Truck no babied- pull my trailers 75 and 80 on interstate. This is one tough puppie.
Just bought my early 08 last month. All stock loaded Lariet, crew cab,longbed. It had radiator replaced in 09. It runs great. I think I have a crack in my down tube becuase it has a whistle ing at low rpm's
I sold my 01 7.3 w/225K for this one. I plan on it lasting me till 225K.

I love my truck also, not so much now, 118000 miles I'm having to replace the cam shaft and all lifters along with the radiator hoses with 2 o-rings tank, repair estimate is at 7000 they just started working on it today

Why...? This all seems like upper wear issues? How often did you do your oil changes?

How often is oil changed and just as important-want brand and weight of oil?
This sounds like a lubrication issue. I had two 7.3's, two 6.0's and the current
6.4. Never had a cam or lifter failure.
