working on the 6.4

[dsonyay]

Hi,
I love doing my own general maintenance, and from what I can tell doing all of the required items looks to be a breeze.

Beyond that, it seems like a nightmare to work on this engine. When I opened the hood I was amazed at how little engine I could see, everything seems packed in there. Almost seems like doing any work on the engine itself would require taking gobs of stuff off first.

At least maintenance is easy

Anyone do any serious engine work on theirs?

Depends on what you mean by "serious engine work". Most things beyond the simplest maintenance are " cab off" projects as I understand it.

I don't own one [yet] but from what I've seen under the hood there ain't much room to work. Its really packed in there.

dsonyay,
You will probably get more direct feedback in the "6.4 Engine and Drivetrain forum" Those guys are all 6.4. This forum is a mixed bag of engines, and the topics are more "General"...

No problem- I thought about the 6.4 forum, but I kinda wondered if it may be like that for just the 6.4, or were the other diesels the same way.

When you guys say "cab off" do you mean there are times where the cab is actually yanked off?
Wow!

That's what I understand from reading other posts about the 6.4 engine. It supposed to be a pretty easy process for the dealer to handle. As a sidenote, I think that's why the 6.4 isn't available in the E-series.

like this:

This is a 6.0L but the procedure is similar.
