I saw a video on YouTube about a catastrophic failure 6.0. It wasn't rebuildable. I'm hoping that's not the case when mine arrives.
I can't imagine an ambulance driver would have let it overheat knowingly, but it's all speculation at this point. I can't wait to get it.
The purpose for a high idle feature is to prevent wet stacking when the engine is idled for long periods.
