I have a Question

[Articcatzl440]

i have an 2005 super duty 6 liter. My question is it bad to let them sit for a week and then drive them because mine sits in the driveway all week and then on the weekends i'll drive it

The only thing it may cause issue with is the turbo. The VGT has a tendency to rust and cause binding when they aren't driven daily.

I wouldn't think a week would be bad

[Articcatzl440]

will it cause harm to the turbo

I don't think that you will have any problems if you only drive your truck on the weekends.

[Articcatzl440]

should i push the truck hard when i drive it or should i be easy on it

[Articcatzl440]

when i havn't drove it all week

Drive it the way you would normally drive it.

A week isn't bad. Personally I would add some fuel additive and have at least a few good accelerations on the weekend. This is one of the benefits to a 6.0L - enjoy it!

I don't mean to hijack the thread here, but how hard are short trips on the 6.0's? I've been looking at 05-07 crew cabs as the regular cab I have on my 150 just doesn't cut it now with a kid.

I've been riding the bike back and forth to work, 40 MPG even when I'm hard in the throttle. Though I still need the truck after work to pick her up from daycare which is only about a mile from the house.
