Powerstroke Expert Comments on them all
Here is a lot of really good expert info...
If you want expert Ford info including the Ford mechanics, go to Ford-Trucks.com. they have an forum for each diesel engine. BTW, I read the info on the link above, and it doesn't match the other experts although it does show a strong preference for the 6.0.
I have to agree. I read what he had to say and he seemed to bash pretty much anything, and gave a preferance to the worst one of the bunch. No *good* info. Almost as if he was employed by a Chevy dealer.
That guy is a fool. Any of the forums out there says the same about him as well. His bread and butter has been raking in the cash on 6.0's for years. Even in his video he states he buys them for resell. I owned a 7.3 and did months of research on 6.0's cause deep in heart I'm a Ford guy. The 6.0 can be fixed and made reliable, but takes money and more than your shade tree mechanic to get it done. In the end, it was worth going back to a Cummins for me and my situation. It is impossible to compare 20+ year old diesels to these new ones. It would be like comparing a 12 valve Cummins to my deleted and tuned 6.7 Cummins.
My 7.3 was reliable, loud, leaked oil but never left me stranded. It also worked hard to pull the toyhauler and camper/trailers but always got there. Do I miss it? I miss knowing I can work on it with ease and parts don't cost too much...my Cummins has WAY more power as would a new 6.7 Scorpion....but when a new diesel breaks.....watch out. A lot of technology and expensive parts to make the power, emissions and mileage today's owners expect.
