I know that you have dumped gobs of money into the truck. I would venture to say I have thrown more into mine then $25K just in different places. Sound system was 1/2 of my costs I guess. Jr said it best: Spending $2,000+ on Performance injectors is a horrible crap shot when they are not even close to being as reliable as the stock OEM units.

The 6.0 does not take well to being turned into a High Horse Power engine. There are too many factors that must be overcome. With most not possible leaving the end result you having a problematic engine with never ending mechanical failures because it’s beyond its mechanical abilities.

Yup I said it. They are a Wimpy Diesel Engine in the overall scheme of things. But when they are not ran at a level past 450 HP and done right they do well. 400 HP is even better.

That’s my take on the trucks struggles.

All and all considering mine has done really well. And I beat on it hard!
And I'm pretty sure I'm beyond 450 hp
Have over 30k mine.

So i have a question... i really hate to cheap out on things and i also dislike doing things twice but my front left Wheel bearings are making noise and its starting to affect my fuel economy bad.

Timken is my first choice however im looking at the TRQ wheel bearing/hubs that 1AAUTO sells https://www.1aauto.com/2005-10-ford-...=847155&y=2007 becuase theres aa bunch of other stuff i need to do to the truck which includes coolant flush w/ ELC, waterpump, tstat, BPD EGR, UPIPES ( bellow is cracked ) and a steering gear. I have new ford bearings for the rear hubs i figure ill just do it to greshen them up since the rear pinion n carrier was already done not long ago.

Are these a good "cheaper" option even if i need to swap them in 50k? Opinions?

There is a lot of pages in this thread

I have no experience with them but @toren302 and @LoxDiesel surely has that answer for you.

I use either Timken or Moog, since they come with a 3 year warrantee. My advice, buy the best warrantee.

I was not aware of what was said or even the nature of the post. But I see the shield your kids and find a safe place blah blah blah. Then some posts trailing along making brisk points. So I knew something was going on and I chuckled about the we all agreed and acknowledged things in profile. I will always kick that sleeping dog right wrong or otherwise. So yea I had my fun with it as it was all coming apart piece by piece.

The comment was from seeing 7-8 guys chopping away on the keyboards to people hopping off like the place was on fire. I look again and I'm the last one in the forum besides the two of you. So Rattlesnake your correct about not saying as much as a peep yet guilty by affiliation with your side kick Jr's name next to yours.

LOL Then I jumped too and hit the power button.
