Predecessor to the 6.0

With the growing emission regulations in 2008 Ford introduced the 6.4L V-8 power stroke twin turbo diesel. Some new features included a DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) which eliminated the black soot and also quieted down exhaust noise. The engine was produced from 2008-2010, however in the first year the engines were equipped with a twin turbo meaning two turbos and is the only diesel engine to have a turbocharger arrangement such as that. In its time it was the cleanest and most powerful engine supplied to ford from international putting out 350 horse power and 650 foot lb torque. The 6.4 diesel has been known to be an engine that can but upgraded significantly with the use of aftermarket parts to push the motor to its full potential. However upgrading the engine with aftermarket accessories is something that voids any warranty that ford allows.
