This is a prime example of what happens when you have an engine rushed into production in order to meet strict emissions requirements. The 6.4L is a throw away engine, and probably the worst PowerStroke ever made.
The newer 6.7 PSD can have the engine dropped I believe rather than cab pulled. A big engine with lots of parts stuffed in a normal size engine bay. The 6.7 has two independent cooling systems for people to marvel over..
The 6.7 cannot be dropped out the bottom. No PSD can.
Right - the cabs are pulled for major repairs on the 2011 and up Powerstrokes. There is a procedure that is well documented on how/when to do it. When I had mine and brought it in for some standard repairs, I saw several in the shop with the cabs in the air.
