IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 108,000 AND HAS REQUIRED THE REPLACEMENT OF  ENTIRE ENGINE ASSEMBLY TWICE.  BOTH INSTANCES THE TRUCK WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN THE FAILURES OCCURRED AND THE DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO GET TO  SHOULDER OF  ROAD.  BOTH FAILURES ALSO GAVE NO WARNING.   FIRST FAILURE OCCURRED IN AUGUST 2009 @ 32,225 WHEN  DRIVER HEARD A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM  ENGINE AND IT IMMEDIATELY STALLED.  TRUCK WAS TOWED TO DEALER UPON WHICH IT WAS DETERMINED A CONNECTING ROD HAD GONE THROUGH BLOCK.  THERE WAS NO EXPLANATION PROVIDED EXCEPT THE ENGINE WAS STILL UNDER  POWERTRAIN WARRANTY.   SECOND FAILURE OCCURRED  APRIL 2012 @ 107,000 WHILE  DRIVER WAS ON HIS WAY TO DEALER TO GET  RADIATOR FIXED DUE TO A LEAK.  HE WAS ON THE BELTWAY WHEN HE IMMEDIATELY STARTED TO LOOSE POWER, IT STALLED WITH A CHANCE OF GETTING TO SHOULDER.  WHEN TOWED TO THE DEALER, IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS EXCESSIVE COOLANT IN OIL PAN (3 GALLONS) WHICH CAUSED INTERNAL FAILURE TO THE BEARINGS/CRANK/RODS.   ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED AGAIN.  THIS TIME  FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE WATER PUMP FRONT COVER THAT WAS SEVERELY PITTED ALLOWING COOLANT TO ENTER  ENGINE.  THIS FRONT COVER HAD BEEN REPLACED AROUND 71,000 FOR  SAME PROBLEM, WHICH ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC, IS COMMON WITH  6.4L ENGINE.  I HAVE SERVICED THIS TRUCK ACCORDING TO FORDS RECOMMENDATIONS. HAVE HAD THE OIL CHANGED MORE FREQUENTLY THAN  10,000 MILE THAT IS RECOMMENDED FOR THE TYPE OF USAGE.  DEALER AGREED THAT 7,500 MILES BETWEEN OIL CHANGES WAS SUFFICIENT SINCE  TRUCK WAS NOT USED IN SEVERE OPERATING CONDITIONS.  CONCERNED FOR  SAFETY OF MY DRIVER SINCE THIS TRUCK HAS STALLED TWICE ON  ROAD RESULTING IN MAJOR ENGINE REPAIRS EVEN THOUGH I HAVE PROPERLY MAINTAINED THE TRUCK.  I HAVE GOOGLED AND FOUND MANY OTHER OWNERS OF FORD TRUCKS WITH 6.4L DIESEL THAT HAVE HAD  SAME PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD.
