    I have no intentions of buying a 6.0 but Josh posts a video, i watch
  • @peterf.4268
    Love the way your 6.0 sounds...and Ford made a very pretty truck, but man, that looks like a pain in the ass to work on. I'll keep my 5.9.

    Thanks for putting out these videos. (I watch All ya guys ) …..and it is encouraging to see ya young bucks passing on knowledge for all. -God Bless you and yours
  • Great video. I had a 6.0 regret selling it. It’s still running over 200,000 miles on her. I bought an 03 at body shop getting some work done. Going to dive into it when I get her back. I’ll reach out to you when I have questions Keep up the videos glad to see you’re still out there !!!!

    My daily is an '04 6.0. It was all the "upgrades" including a stage 1 turbo. I run a towing tune on it for the most part. It runs great, is very comfortable, and gets decent mileage hauling and towing. I have even outpulled a 6.7 cummins up a 7% grade pulling the same weight. I know some will call bs, but i had someone in the passenger seat that can verify. I know the 6.7 was on a weight loss program, don't know about tuning...... I have had very few problems with the truck.

    Great video Josh love the 7.3 and 6.0 body style they extremely solid. I have owned 2 6.0s when they came out and got burned on them (back then next to no info on the common problems available). Own a 07 now with a 12v Cummins and because I love these body styles and the price on them really want to do another. Thank you for sharing my man 🤙🤙🤙 btw have done a couple head gasket jobs on them without lifting the cab and it's really not that bad imo

    Man as time goes on I never thought I'd say it ..... but the 6.0 is actually one of Ford's better diesels especially as time goes on I'm getting more 6.7 powerstrokes in my shop with rods exiting the block... Just saying.. Good video josh.

    Great vid. Thank you for this. Six-O’s aren’t complicated. People just need to understand them and they’re great. My dream World consists of me owning a 6.0, a Cummins, and a Duramax someday (not sure which one). 😊

    We had a customer come in a few years ago from Alabama traveling for work. Had a 07 6 liter. Had a intermittent hard start. Found oil and way to much pressure in the degas bottle. Quoted him out for a head gasket job. He argued with price and said a local shop did the head gaskets and studs and did it without lifting the cab. Went back and forth and found they only studded the outside head bolts that were visible. Poor guy got took for 6 grand.

    Well dangit. Another great video by Josh. And another video by Josh that’s slowly convincing me to go with a 6.O.
  • @coryridder1937
    Well... glad to see that I'm not the only one that discarded the inner shroud. What a pain in the butt. I'm going to pressure test my CAC though. Haven't done that yet. Need to change my tuning too. I want to find a nicer pickup with a 6.0 though. Mine is just an xlt. Cloth and some power
  • @johnboticki9154
    Bubble test is a good one if you have the knowledge. Easy to make your own contraption to do it.
  • @joshuaquilliam2887
    I have always had a soft spot for the 6.0. First one I drove was on base in Iraq lol I had never driven a VGT truck before. That thing lit the tires up on command. I prefer the Cummins now just because of the ease of working on them, and I am now familiar with the 3rd gen. Maybe someday I will scoop one up, but people have lost their damn minds on the prices up here. No way I am paying 12-18k for a problem child Ford. Great video as always, I enjoy the variety.

    I will be going from an F150 to a 6.0 to pull my camper. I appreciate your video, really helps with what to look for. I am planning on the regulated return and ficm right away. I need to watch some videos on replacing dummy plugs and stand pipes. How do you feel about the bullet proof diesel remote oil cooler and the air / oil cooler? It's $1900 but seems like it would remove the oil cooler problem and have a screw on oil filter.
