Someone help me w/ 6.0 diesel...

Still a troubled 6.0
It is what it is. If y'all would like to start me a GoFund me account so that I can afford a new truck, I am game.
The 6.0 is exactly why I would not buy a Eco boost engine from ford
Ford does not test their designs
They just make them and let the first buyers test them
If it lasts longer than the warranty , it's a good design
Even the 4.6 and 5.4 gas engines are a very poor design
They eject spark plugs because the thousands of engineers at Ford thought that having three threads engaged would be plenty to hold in a spark plug
And then their redesign to cure it was just as bad
The new plug is EXACTLY the same size as the hole
So after 80,000 miles of carbon buildup onto the plug inside the engine , and you try to remove it , the plug breaks off inside the engine
When you get your 6.oh no running , you need to pass it on to someone else before it explodes like all the rest did
The 6.0 lasts slightly longer than GMs 5.7 and 6.2 diesel they made from a converted gasoline engine

this is very true, I added a much thicker power line directly from the alternator to the right battery and my charging voltage increased.
Something i havent seen put out there but you prob need STC fitting update and updated standpipes and dummy plugs. those parts are not expensive but putting them in is very intensive. It can contribute to hard starts.
Well, finally a silver lining w/ the 03 6.0. LOL
