Naaaaaa, that's ok. If you couldn't find it I'm sure I can't find it.........and you know what that means!
Now if you want me to find threads about 6.0'ssssssss, (what this thread is all about) that I can do. I heard Google had to add thousands of more servers to their system when the 6.0 came out. :B
Spin it how you want, I just call it like I see it. I own Chevy trucks, I also own a Dodge car and race Ford cars so I'm no fan boy of one make like you. To call it like it is, the Ford V10 gas is one of the best if not the best tow motor out there. Great engine!
You say dearly departed and that is true.
You want new diesel? I will talk new diesel. And this from Ford owners and techs:
Read post #6 from a Ford tech. Then read post 8. :E Then look at the date.
Another Ricatic failure. This one 25 grand worth!
Another Ricatic failure that Ford won't pay for.
Is it the turbo? the wastegate? or the valves? Could be your driving style? 7th visit we will know.
Pull over safely now son!
Another pull over safely now son.
Another ambulance only problem.
Turbo went boom.
More turbo's go boom.
Engine goes boom, then reman engines go boom.
More turbo problems
40,000 miles, 2 turbo's 1 engine.
The above are very serious problems and there is a pattern. Go talk to some Ford tech's to learn the truth.
I can't wait for the spin doctors. :R

Funny Troy your the only guy saying that. I did a Google search and could not come up with anything about "lifter noise" for 1992 Rams. Heck Edmunds.com gives the 1992 Ram 150,250 and 350 four stars same as the ford trucks. Don't you think if they were the POS you say they were they would have a lower rating the Fords? :h Or maybe Fords are just as bad! :B

Don,
Having cold started many new 318's and a few 360's and hearing lifter tick was the norm on these new trucks, so I can't say much about your Quality Control program at that factory! Perhaps this was an issue with trucks not broken in?
Hate to bust your bubble! :W

So are you saying the Dodge RAM trucks were better in '92? I remember having to move those Dodge RAM trucks around on the dealer lot back in '88 and it took a couple of minutes for the lifters to stop ticking after a cold start. Those 318's were some real pieces of work I might say!
In addition moving the Chevy's and GMC's didn't have the lifter ticking issue like the Dodges. :h
I don't remember those roller cam/lifters making much noise in those 318's. In fact, most Mopar valve trains were fairly quiet when new. Not only were they rollered during that year, but they also still maintained the shaft mount rocker setup. If my memory serves me correctly, pretty quiet. I still have a half dozen or so LA small blocks and race with them during the summer months. Even the high mileage ones are pretty quiet.
These were brand new trucks Dodge trucks sitting on a grass lot that I would move ~ 1/week in order to mow that lot. Every Dodge truck would litterly tick for a couple of minutes during the cold start. This was during the summer months in Texas.
Also I do recall Chevy had a batch of bad cams in '82 that would go flat a cause poor performance.
