I am looking at a 2003 6.0 f250. It has a 8in lift and 37in tires. I know the 6.0 had head gasket issues but it has an egr delete and arp headstuds installed. It has 125xx on the odometer. Will this be a reliable truck? What other issues are common? and how expensive are they?
I try so hard. When I fill up, I always TRY to commit to watching my right foot to measure. Usually I see a truck or Mustang buddy at the station I fill up at. Needless to say, the 6.0 gets to leave the station at WOT! :thumb:
I am driving a 1000 mile round trip this weekend. I WILL Stay out of it for at least 1 tank!
yeah. im about to do the same. tradin my 5.9 24 valve for a 6.0. new injectors. id do the EGR delete and oil cooler from bulletproof. flush the ford gold out of there. its got 197k how reliable are the trannies? and what tranny is in it. the tourqshift? and is there anything else i have to worry about with the 6.0 im gonna keep it stock.
Yea buy a 6.0! Your tuner with custom tunes from a good tuner will dictate your power. Exhaust will help your ears and really lower EGTs! Intake - It will do nothing for ya! :wink[3]:
Get an SCT 3 for the actual tuner. As far as the human who builds the tunes. I think we have someone here who can be found in the vendors section. I used John Lund but he is not on this web site as a sponsor. Again, I would look at our sponsors!
