tow vehicle update...2004 6.0 diesel??
To make the long story short, the tow vehicle I bought last week, I had it for 3 days, starting to do some tlc to it, and noticed a nice size crack in the frame. I immediately took it back to the deal...

Wow if someone posts that the 6.0 is the POS all the same Ford fan boys will come on and defend it, but now the same guys are telling the OP to run :h:@
BTW Jeremiah when did I accuse someone of miss-information? As far as Bryan posting about rebuilding turbos, bad injectors and HPOP issues. None of which I have heard of and given the way the 6.0 gets slammed and people have posted that they can be "bullet proofed" at a releasable cost. Now people are telling us that it takes 8K to make them a reliable?
All the older trucks are now vulnerable to injector and pump issues with ULSD fuel. If you don't add some kind of lube in to your fuel every time you fill up you are going to have these issues. I thought the turbo cleaning was a normal maintenance issue with Variable-geometry turbos.
But hay I'll bend to the will of the Ford ummm Anti Fan Club, Ford sucks and the 6.0, 6.4 and 6.7 are POS. Happy now LMAO

Thanks Don, I was just curious.
I have heard of injector and HPOP failures, but most are the EGR cooler, head gasket, and Oil cooler. Most of the turbo rebuilds I heard of we before the prevelance of ULSD. The old stuff, from what I recall, really played havoc with the variable vane turbo.
I am not afraid of the 6.0, and if I could get one cheap enough with extra cash, I would possibly consider one.
The V10 is a good motor but to say its a gas hog would be an understatement :).
Thanks!
