I have had this truck for almost 2 years. Till now i have changed 2 radiators, and almost $6000. And the white smoke is still blowing out of the tail pipe. Moreover I need to add 1 gallon of coolant every 200 miles.

Operated many Diesels over time, chev dodge ford. This is the first Owned Diesel and picked the Ford over anything else, better ride, lots of power, impressive styling, reliability, functionality, and minus 35 c 2 weeks ago! forgot to plug the engine in! gues what! it started! beat that Cummins or Duramax!and a very quiet engine. people complain about fuel milage? ok, but i do get 11mpg loaded to the 9's but empty 13 in town and 18 on hwy. poor mpg is NOT Fords fault! chev & dodge had to add DPF's as well, in reading all other reviews.. will try the Edge programer for better MPG, will advise in the future.

If you are not towing or working this truck do not buy. This is a costly truck to drive around town in. I bought his truck to tow with had 140,000 when I bought it and got 3.5 miles per gal driving or towing. First thing I did was get rid of the plastic radiator. Then programmer and set it on tow. Worked on the exhaust filter and redid the EGR. fuel mileage went up to 7.6. Re programed to economy went to 6.3 so back to tow and have left it there. I drive hard so I do not get mileage like most do in any thing. I then started using Diesel magic products in the oil and fuel read their reports it take up to 4000 mile for it to work and it also makes injectors last so less cost on injector replacement. After about 4200 miles I went to 10.5 and stayed there till at 167000 miles I was having a oil cooler problem. I checked all that was out there for this truck. I decided on the IPR Full Kit. It was a bit of a pain to do but well worth it. While the cab was off pulled valve covers and checked rockers and replace the glow plugs. I also change water pump and fan clutch alt. belts fuel filters and trans fluid and filters. I used Diesel magics friction reducer in the trans and also their trans additive the friction reducer in the power steering and AC. The good thing about the IPR cooler is if there is a problem latter all you have to do is remove the left tire and finder liner and in a couple hours you have a new cooler no more pulling the cab for this repair. Now for the good on the fuel meter I show not towing 18.7 were before I showed 12.2 I on paper I was getting 9.0 every fill up now on paper I am getting 15.4 local driving. I will be doing a trip no tow and I am hoping for 17 or better. But as comfort goes this truck can not be beat. Ride is great power is unbeatable I do not think I will ever regret buying this truck. Average mileage towing and empty I get 14 and that is better then I got with my 7.3. I keep hearing these people talking how they are getting in the 20s on mileage they must drive with egg shell on the peddle or do not know how to do the millage or they just may be full of [non-permissible content removed] and are fooling them selves.

2008 Ford F350 Superduty Diesel 6.4 liter FX4

Let me first say that when this truck is running well, I love it. It has tons of power and the interior is all leather. Its the most loaded truck I've ever owned. Unfortunately, it has a lot of problems. I bought it used with about 120,000 miles on it which I thought was decent mileage considering its diesel. At 135,000 miles, I replaced the starter followed shortly by the engine. After that, it was the clutch fan, a short in the electrical system, and numerous other problems including the latest where the hydro boost for the brakes over heated and took out the power steering pump costing $1700. Total repair cost in 45,000 miles has been over $23,000. Trading it off on a new Tundra

My f350 diesel left me stranded in the middle of an intersection, brought to dealer and they won't honor the warranty it only has 48,000 on it. They told me it would cost $11,000 to fix it.
