Anyone have a psd 6.0?

I love mine... its completely stock and never been tuned.. 70 thousand miles. Just getting geared up to make some preventative improvements!

(Power Stroke Diesel 6.0 for those like me that had to google what he was talking about!)

Lmao.. sorry... i figured people who had one would know!

Careful with that coolant sprinkler! I'd do head studs and the egr mod asap. Look into "bullet proof 6.0"

 

[bronze_10]

I have.. looking at egr delete now.. the egr kills these engines... and a stopped up oil cooler.. i doubt i will ever get close to the max towing of this truck.

Just be careful. I have a buddy that has rebuilt 100s these 6.uh ohs, mostly stock. It's probably Ford's worst engine ever. They are great with all the bullet proof options, but that can cost 5k.

I have done a lot of research. I am well aware of the shirt comings.. one of the biggest things u can do is keep it serviced. I want the get the egr delete 1st so it doesnt fail and push out all the coolant or stop up the oil cooler.. the engine is a good one... its all the crap ford hangs off of it that cause issues... oh! And the disastrous stretching head bolts.. whos idea was that anyway?

My cousin fought his for years before he went and bought a gas 2500. Same thing as everyone else, stretchy bolts.

Ford didn't build the engine but they put it in the truck! The new 6.7 is pretty nice. I hope to just afford a new truck some day, much less a ps!

The 6.0 was built i eroupe.. the 6.4 is basically that same engine but built by international harvester... the 6.7 was designed and built in house... the 6.7 is by far the best they have, outside the 7.3 . But they carry a 6.7 level price tag!! Thats why i got an 06..

Ford spent $1B repairing them.

I had an 06 I tuned and bullet proofed. Then I traded it in because something messed up my front end and would blow wheel bearing after wheel bearing. Great truck though while it was running true

 

[bronze_10]

I bought a 2 wheel drive to try to keep away from the ford front end issues and the famous ford death wobble!

 

[bronze_10]

If i could have found a dodge for a reasonable price i would have bought that. But there are not nearly as many out there as psd.

I had a 2005 6.0, never had any issues with it, sold it when diesel prices went through the roof, later had a 2012 6.7, solid truck and engine - later bought two new 2500 HD's with the Duramax/Allison for our daily drivers and my work truck, extremely happy with these trucks one year into ownership.
