2014 2500 6.4 what to look for
on a different note, someone swapped a laramie interior into it and put a jvc head unit in. It looks like the seats are heated but I think I need to get the proper idatalink stuff for it to work. Since the truck didn't come from the factory with heated seats is it going to be difficult to get...- samsdad02

2014 2500 6.4 what to look for
Well, I bought it. Price was higher than I like, but it's on par with everything else out there. I'm tired of looking and I like the truck. With the 8-10k a year I do if I can keep it from rusting out I should be able to get another 10+ years or until my eyes fail, whichever comes first. PO has...- samsdad02

https://nextgendiesel.com/collections/66rfe-transmissions-transmission-parts/products/66rfe-high-performance-valve-body?variant=41426986729645 was looking at this company. I like it is a solid valve body.- samsdad02

From what I've read, its the valve body that fails, taking out everything else. If I'm wrong about that please correct me. Looks like there are improved valve body assemblies available. At the first sign of an issue, I will replace the valve body.- samsdad02

Spent the 10 bucks on moroney to get the window sticker. Original color is listed as maximum steel metallic, which is the color it is. I'm guessing a data entry RMV staffer saw steel, pictured their stainless steel refrigerator and thought silver. I speculate the dealership that it was traded in...- samsdad02

2014 2500 6.4 what to look for
Realized yesterday I merged 2 or 3 trucks in my head. I've been looking for 6ish weeks and combined some ads in my head. This one is not a 1 owner. Carfax says 3 owners but it looks like owner 2 moved and registered it as commercial. Weird thing, Carfax listed it originally as silver but between...- samsdad02

Went and drove it again. Shifted fine under hard acceleration. Noticed the muffler was a little louder than last time, had a hole in it. He's going to fix it. So I'll pick it up once I get my paperwork. Question on something else. He put an aftermarket radio in, so all the uConnect stuff...- samsdad02

Thanks for the info. He just did the exhaust manifolds, starter and radiator. I will drive it harder next time, see what happens. It is a work truck but I suspect whatever it needed to not unexpectedly break down, it got. Guy does higher end remodels and restorations so he needs to be on the...- samsdad02

I am pretty confident in my abilities, I diagnosed and did all my own work on the 6oh powerstroke I had. I didn't think the valvetrain issues were problem for the 6.4. One of the reasons I'm looking for 6.4. It didn't exhibit any of the shift issues that I've read about. For a work truck...- samsdad02

I don't want to be impulsive, but I REALLY like this truck. And I am REALLY tired of working on my current truck every other time I drive it.- samsdad02

Thanks for that. Guy bought it new and has all paperwork on the work done to it. It is CLEAN clearly taken care of. He just bought the same truck but newer so selling this one. He's asking 19 it's a Laramie with a fisher plow retrax tonneau and a ladder rack.- samsdad02

Hey all. Newbie looking at buying a 2014 6.4 crew cab. Truck has been taken care of. Has 170k exhaust manifolds are done new radiator. Doesn't need anything I can see. Are there specific things to look for? I read the 6 speed trans can have issues, but there were no shift issues I noticed while...- samsdad02
