Troy you're the only one on this forum that lives in an alternative universe where the 6.0 is more reliable than a 5.9 Cummins.
I know of several shops that make a good living swapping out the 6.0 for a Cummins. Please post up a link showing where anybody in the world is doing a Cummins to 6.0L swap and we may believe you. :B
I just saw where several plane makers are going to a diesel engine. I wonder how many are going to put a 6.0 in their airplane? LOL
Turtle,
Here's my track record of these two trucks with the Ford being my personal truck and the Dodge was for a work hand. BTW that same work hand drove a 1988 Ford 7.3 diesel till the wheels fell off.
1. 05 Super Duty 6.0 PSD with 170k miles
A. Replaced EGR valve (warranty)
B. Replaced rubber boot on turbo outlet due to oil leak (warranty)
C. Cleaned EGR valve (performed in drive way)
2. 05 Dodge 5.9 Cummins Manual tranny ~130k miles
A. All 6 injectors replaced (3 were replaced on my nickel)
B. Drivers side seat tilt mech. broke (replaced seat)
C. 4x4 Wouldn't engage (didn't fix)
D. Exhaust manifold had a crack (didn't fix)
