The Twin turbo 6.4's made it a little better, but Ford dropped Navistar after two dismall engines. The new 6.7 is an all new, all-Ford design.
The 6.4 had great numbers, but to service one was a friggin NIGHTMARE. You couldn't get to anything on it without having to lift the body off the frame. I remember laughing every time someone brought one in to the service area and seeing all these bodies up on lifts. Imagine trying to work on one in your driveway? The twin turbo concept they had for that design was really nice though. The 6.0 had a lot of problems, and it was the loudest diesel motor Ford ever used. The aftermarket is pretty decent for it though.
