'06 PowerStroke Question..

[ErnieT]

Hey guys. Im supposed to pick my new '06 F-250 up Tuesday. My question is do you guys know if there are still alot of problems with the '06 6.0 engines? I just found out about some problems they were having and didn't know if it was true or just rumor. I like the Ford over the Dodge, but can get a better deal on the Dodge. Like I said I like the Ford better, but was wondering what the general thoughts were. Thanks fellas..

I have 15000+ miles on mine and half of that was pulling our fifth wheel and so far it is great. Love the looks, the ride and the power is all some.

A Stroke Is The End of A Heartbeat! Power Stroke Ford, that is.

Welcome Ernie! Don't believe all the rumors TRUST ME. Everyone can get a lemon but my money is on you simply LOVING you're rig like I do mine. I've around 30K of Dodge and GM kickin' tail on my PSD and every time I get behind her, I smile just as I did when I drove her off the lot. I hope you'll stick around, we've some great folks on here with loads of info and we're very family oriented.

Nice, thanks for the quick reply's fellas.....I was leaning towards the Ford anyhow, but you guys pushed me over...lol....BTW..its all black with black leather, 6' bed. So what should my first mod be?! lol..

[mschn99]

first mod should be exhaust and gauges

I've been trolling the net for about 2hrs...lol...I've been looking at the Banks bundle pack. It includes their software, pda display, and 4" exhaust. Anyone have this?

First mod should be gauges, after you learn what's going on under the hood then put on a good 4 in exhaust. Leave the air filter stock. It's hard to clean the air any better than the stock filter will do, and if you do have to take it back to have work done on it you will not have to fight Ford about your air mod. I didn't see what state you are from but some states let you get by with out the cat. Enjoy your new truck. I still have a hard time getting the smile off my face when driving it though town. Any town.

Good to know, thanks Doug. Im from Maryland, btw. And I "believe", the pda display shows egt, boost, and trans. slippage, like the Edge, but Im not sure yet.

I just put the BD Diesel XMonitor on my truck this pasted Thursday. Should have put it on first thing. I am learning how not to drive my truck now with a heavy trailer behind it. I like the read out on it just fine. Be sure you know what you want when you go shopping for Mods.
I know you are having sleepless nights just thinking about getting the new truck on Tuesday.
