Looking for feedback on Ford 6.4 Diesel

Honest feedback needed......
I'm looking at an 08 F350 w/ the 6.4 Diesel in a local Ford Dealer.
The vehicle is "like-new" condition... 28K miles & it runs/drives great.
Warranty history shows a radiator replaced (recall) and tires replaced (recall).
The problem is the owner reviews on the internet for this combo are horrific....
Mostly reports of blown head gaskets (that dealers don't cover), abysmal fuel mileage, and leaky radiators...... astronomical repair bills....

Taken with a grain of salt it is possible that satisfied owners are not motivated to write reviews.... I'm just hoping some actual owners of this combo can let me know what their experience has been driving, towing, etc.... so that I will be able to make up my mind if I want to go forward.
If you don't want to post publically please send me a PM.
Thanks
