I don't know... I think they were just all-around BAD. Even people who fixed turbo and injector problems quickly before they did collateral damage have had more deep structural problems with those engines. The 6.4 is much better, and time will tell about the Ford-built 6.7.
Its amazing how high the resale value on 2001-2003 7.3L Powerstrokes is... people still prefer them even over the 6.4.
