    What do you all think???

    I agree with the most of the guys here... do your thing and then see where your at. I had a long distance relationship with my first fiancé.(I was head over heels for her.) I was in the Navy and lived in Chicago. She lived in my hometown of Gillette, Wyoming. We used to drive to Sioux Falls...

    How unreliable are these 6.0's?

    IMO the fuel delivery system is junk. Two different injectors on the same engine. That tells me injector design flaw. I use good fuel and cetane booster to improve fuel quality. O.K. I'll give you the dodge truck itself on this one (i.e. not so good trannys) but not the cummins engine. It's a...

    How unreliable are these 6.0's?

    I have an '05 CC Dually 1 ton with 4:10 gears. I've lost two injectors plus had to have two re-flashes and a couple of recalls done. The truck only has 16,000 miles and has left me stranded on the road twice. I get tops of 13.5 MPG empty and usually it runs in the 10.5 to 9.5 MPG range with...

    New to the scene!

    Check the stats on all of them. I've had problems with my '05. I've lost two injectors so far but the tranny rocks. Dmax juiced up to 360 H.P. stock and from what I hear have worked out the Allison bugs. They all have little quirks. The Cummins is the most reliable but Dodge transmissions suck...

    Hipp- err, I mean, Grizzly Man...

    This guy was a raving lunatic!!! I watched the movie , too out of pure curiosity. The guy was "playing" with foxes like Mr. Nature Boy and they'd do something he didn't like (one stole his hat and took it to it's den). After that he was "(F) this and (F) that, you little (Fer)". Not to mention...

    seat beltminder disable ?

    I disabled mine in my '05 using the directions in the book. Follow them exactly and don't read anything into them and it will work.:sweet

    Went by The Plant This Weekend........

    This got me interested in an 2007 F-650 and so I went to the Ford web site and priced one out. Look what I found in the truck I wanted...pay special attention to the first line. Major Standard Equipment Cummins 5.9L I-6 OHV w/diesel injection 200hp 5 speed automatic trans w/OD...

    4 Wheel Drive Use

    If your worried about not using your four wheel drive and think you should, "pop it in 4x4 every couple of months to keep it lubed up".... Why do you have a 4 wheel drive?:dunno Get a 2wd and earn some fuel economy back.;)

    Cummin's to Ford

    You'll almost certainly loose an injector or two. Some people have not experienced this problem, but I have lost two with less that 16,000 miles on my rig (an '05). Watch for computer re-flashes, as they do them often. Don't modify your truck with anything you cant take off/return to stock. If...

    Dead turbo and Recall 06E16

    Anybody remember the "Firestone Tire Incident"? Best and oldest tire company ever. Made the best tires I ever owned. The legacy ended because the Explorer was tall, narrow, and had the improper tire inflation pressure on the truck tags and in the owners manual. Low inflation to improve highway...

    Advice needed

    I'd look at them all. I know this is a Ford site and people want to promote it. But, you need to get what's best for you! Check out Chevy and Dodge. Compare the three. Find out what probs. each is having. I have an '05 '6.0L and like the truck. I've lost two injectors, a steering stabilizer...

    Rough Idle

    A lot of these trucks run like that. You'll pound your head into the wall trying to find the problem...partly because it's a design flaw. Just like the turbo's and the injectors. chances are it'll never idle just right. One day it'll seem OK the next it'll idle like a heavy cammed big block. My...

    Turbo repair at dealer turn around time?

    I wouldn't own a 6.0L that isn't under warranty. My advice, start looking for a new truck, or saving for repairs on the one you have now!!

    Where do I find engine codes for a 6.0?

    It was an injector on the #7 cylinder. They replaced it and my rig runs great again. Hopefully it doesn't happen again. Interestingly, I talked to my salesperson and they said they are really having a lot of these kind of problem with the 6.0L. The dealership really pushes the V-10 in light of...
