First 6.4 L Diesel in San Diego
I ordered my 2008 F350 SRW Super Duty back in October with the 6.4 L twin turbo diesel engine, 5speed auto in a crew cab with 4X4 and a long bed. I took delivery on February 13th and have loved driving this monster ever since. The interior looks like an F-150 but is unique to the Super Duty line. The leather seats are the most comfortable in any heavy pick-up but the quiet diesel with jet like thrust is what Ford got right. I don't have to shut down the engine to order at the drive through (not possible with a Dodge/Cummins) and acceleration is a silent, progressive shove in the back without any turbo lag or whine. This truck rides like a half ton, goes like sports car, and tows like a Peterbuilt.

No gripes/great truck
So far no issues. One long haul over many passes and headwinds, the trans is killer compared to My old 97 Power Stroke there is nothing I miss about the old truck. Quiet &comfortable. This truck laughs at climbs and head wind. Mileage increased from 12.8 to 16.1 driving to work after the towing workout. Continental tires wear is not good. Ford needs to work on that part. 18 inchers are not cheap. Re-gen has been occuring at a pretty steady 350 mile interval. Most of my driving is highway. with little stop and go driving. WE are very happy with the truck. this is Ford Diesel #3 for us.
Beast of a Truck
Love the truck...the fuel economy was a nasty surprise. I put in an Edge programmer and cold air intake. Now I get about 14.5 in the city and 22 HWY, with a 6.5" lift and 37" tired. I can live with that. This is the most comfortable and capable truck I have ever owned, out of 10. The interior is comfortable and I don't seem to get those annoying blind spots I had in my Dodge. I have owned HDs from all 3 brands and this truck is by far the best all around truck. Throw in the exceptional looks and Ford has the best on the market. All I have ever done is change the oil.
'08 F-350 6.4L Turbodiesel
Traded in my '05 F-350 V10 for this Diesel monster and am mostly pleased. At 30k miles, MPG has improved to 16 on avg, but MPG is very sensitive to speed, wind, and other conditions. Ride is great, even smoother when towing/hauling. Impresses everyone who rides in it. Quiet engine. Have had absolutely no mechanical issues. A very capable truck!!
