My partner is looking at buying a real clean 2008 F350 crew cab dually with the 6.4 diesel auto trans too just over 120,000 miles--- any comments ??? we are gonna check over the usual like ball joints/radiator cracking/front timing cover oil leak -but has anyone had any problems ?? This truck is obviously outta warranty so if it breaks he has to pay for it----Thanx FED387

We have a 2008 6.4 at my work that was rebuilt by Ford when it blew at 98K. We also had a 2006 that I think was also the 6.4. The 2006 was costing us way too much to keep running and it finally gave up around 175K. (sold it non-running)
The problem areas are the injectors and exhaust valve cooler. Also the cab has to come off to acess some of the engine for repairs.
Ours were both F-450 chassis cabs.
I think a low mileage truck would be okay but I wouldn't buy one that was out of warranty.

Your partner might want to look into the cost of a aftermarket extended warranty
if he is looking at trucks that are past the 100K factory warranty.

The one I bought cost me $1900.00 but only downside is it is a mechanical items
only and I recently lost the fuel injection computer at a cost of $1200.00

My truck is a 2004 F350 with the 6.0 motor
