He went and bought the 6.0. He is vaguely aware of "bullet proofing" and asked what I know about it. I pointed him to some of the Ford forums - but still wants my opinion.
I am a Dodge guy and don't know shite about Fords - other than watch out when buying their diesels.
I decided not to give an opinion.
You're a smart man. 90% of the time here is how it will go:
You give him advise where to bullet proof it. They will do the work and then the engine screws up or blows up 6 months down the line. You get the blame because the guy "you" recommended to do the work on the engine is not a good mechanic.
On top of that he will be 2,000 miles away from home when his engine blows up and he will want you to tow his trailer home because "you" recommended the place that screwed up his truck.
You're smart to stay out of this deal!
