    stock

    Any of these engines can blow a head gasket, stock or otherwise. My truck is bone stock, and I blew a head gasket towing an 8,000lb trailer from Alabama to NorCal in July with only 17,*** on the odo. It was hot, really hot outside at the time. It overheated multiple times on the way, and blew...

    how many miles do you have on your 6.0ltr

    34,300 on the clock on my '07. Finally got new head gaskets after three dealerships and 14,000 miles of driving like a grandma since it first over heated. Oh, and a brand spankin new degauss bottle cap.

    In a jam....Need some help here

    Thanks Fordoor, I called the dealer today and he told me they have no way of doing the combustion gas test. So since you sent me that link, I'm going to buy that test set and have my friend check it out. So if, (I really mean when) it fails, I'll have my wife take the truck and the test...

    In a jam....Need some help here

    Thanks.....I will mention the chemical test when I call them today. As far as the next dealer goes, there are a few within a couple of hours, but from what I understand, they all use the same field service rep. Right now, he is the guy telling my dealer Ford won't pay for the warranty work...

    In a jam....Need some help here

    I apologize, long story to follow. I have been having issues with my truck losing coolant and it's been overheating and puking. After reading everyone here's advice, I am convinced it's the head gaskets. I've had it to the dealer three times now, and unfortunately, they are not so...

    Question Puking

    Just an update. That TSB has been superceded by this one http://www.fcsdchemicalsandlubricants.com/fad/tsb/0837.pdf Scott: I realize this TSB won't ease the pain your wallet in the end, but it might help you spend less before you find the problem. Chances are, you are right with the head...

    Oil smell in from A/C vent only at a stop

    Well got it back from the dealer. Yes I had the puking coolant problem, but to the best of my memory, I had the smell before the coolant issue. I could be wrong. They told me they did a TSB for the coolant system which involved running some tests...all normal. Then they looked for an oil...

    Oil smell in from A/C vent only at a stop

    That's something else I was thinking. It's going to the dealer in the AM, just looking for an idea to help them out. Thanks. Rob

    Oil smell in from A/C vent only at a stop

    Nope, no CCV mod. I was under the impression that was only for the 7.3. That definitely sounds like the right kind of problem though. Thanks. Rob

    Oil smell in from A/C vent only at a stop

    Hi all. Well I didn't really want my first post to be about a problem, but you know how it goes. I have been having an oil smell coming into the cab of my '07 250 6.0 through the vents for about a month. It only happens if I've been driving and come to a stop, like a red light. It doesn't...
