F350 SRW crew 6.0 diesel, need help
I have a 2003 ford f350 srw with a 6.0 diesel, long bed. I've only heard negative things about the engine. I've had it for 2 years and had the turbo and fuel injectors done. I've replaced the hubs ...

This isn't in response to the "beach" problem but more to do with the Ford 6.0. For those out there with this truck and engine do yourself and your pocket book a favor and get a Scangauge II and learn what to monitor. This small gauge costs less than $200 and can tell you everything that you will need to know except exhaust temps. For instance it will tell you when the FICM voltage is low which will cause injector failure or give you the temps on your oil and coolant to tell you that your oil cooler may be getting clogged causing the EGR cooler to fail thus allowing coolant into the combustion chamber which can lead to a blown head gasket. A coolant filter is also a good addition as it will help to keep the oil cooler from clogging. And DO NOT add a tuner for more power. As said before ALL makes have there problems whether Chevy,Dodge etc. find out what they are and then take the appropriate action. Even the "bullet proof" Allison has had issues. With all the regulations on cars and trucks changing constantly there are always going to be problems as WE are the guinea pigs and the ultimate testers.
