Dont know about the 6.4 since I have a 7.3 If your looking for an older 7.3 also make sure the injectors are good or have been redone. Thats another $4g's if you have to do all 8. Diesel trucks are not cheap to repair no matter what brand you buy but a gasser will never tow 7 tons of scrap to the yard at highway speeds

At least not in one trip.

Any truck hauling heavy loads should have a manual trans IMO. I like telling the truck what gear to be in, not it telling me. I wanns be in full control goin down the highway. My 99 dodge diesel auto trans was THEE worst. Would always shift whenever it felt it wanted to. Never again. Lol

The autos are ok as long as you take care of them.Most people get a auto never maintain it pull a crap load with it then when it goes out talk about how big of a piece of **** it is lol.
For towing a stick is good but a auto is actually rated to tow more weight than a stick.
