    New head studs

    I am agreeing. The other poster was trying to change out the bolts with re-enforced ones and take it back to the dealer and have them replace the head gaskets (under warranty) after stud replacement.

    New head studs

    I am sure that the manufacture would see that the bolts had been removed and the studs installed, and then say something like 'voided warranty'. Be careful trying to get that kind of stuff past the manufacture.

    How much oil?

    WOW... I just talked to two my friends, who just got head gaskets replaced [at Ford] and was told it would cost $2200. (out here in San Diego). I know that they have to raise the body of the truck to conduct the repairs but wow that is costly. Thanks for the info.

    white crusty deposits

    I am having the same problem with my 6.0. I replaced the degas tank because it had a crack in it, but I am still getting over-flow. The liquid level is between the max and low (so not over filled). I can see the flow from the EGR cooler although not smooth flow. Recently replaced the EGR valve...

    degas cap leaks

    I recently purchase my F250 with a 6.0L. I conducted all the usual maintenance procedures and replaced the degas bottle (and cap) because I found a crack in it. I had thought that my leaking problem would have stopped with that replacement. Lately I have been noticing the liquid level dropping...

    6.0 running rough when cold.

    Usually white or blue smoke means water in the cylinders. Could be you're getting a bad head gasket that leaks when cold and seals up at warmer temps. Black smoke is excess fuel (like too rich). Are you loosing coolant water?

    Question Anybody Know?

    What is the recommeded flush time after 140K. Recently purchased the truck and no manual. The fluid is clear red and no burnt smell. I was thinking about just changin the filter for general maintenance.

    6.0 running rough when cold.

    Does your vehicle start in a normal idle and then jump in idle while you are waiting for it to warm up?? Most diesels need a warm up (not a jump in and drive) before proceeding. What WAS the code when the CEL was on??

    Experienced in San Diego

    Thanks for the info. I have replaced the EGR myself. The reason I replaced it was I was having idle problems and figured that since so many people are having EGRs sticking I would just change it out. I also had to replace the ICP and that was not really that fun. I read as much as I could to see...

    running rough 2003 6L

    The funny thing about that is that FORD knows that the ICP's are crap and they will not place them on the "recall list" for replacement. They cost about $160.00 and the mass air about $100.00. That equates to $1000.00 for labor. I am replacing mine myself..

    EGR Coolers 6.0L

    Okay then, I replaced the EGR today and the engine seems to run better. I also noticed that the coolant bottle has a crack in two spots and the coolant was spraying out. I replaced the bottle (which has the correct level indicator) from Ford ($68.00) and now the liquid is staying at the correct...

    Experienced in San Diego

    Is there anyone in the San Diego Area that has worked on / repaired their 6.0L engine?? I am looking to fix (not at a dealership) my EGR cooler with a new up-graded. I am pretty mechanically inclined and have most of the tools required to conduct the repairs but someone that has experienced...

    EGR Coolers 6.0L

    The coolant that I am losing is from the bottle cap, i.e. over pressure/temperature, because I can see it all over the side of engine under the bottle. At first I thought that I had a crack in the bottle itself, but no. Can you explain why I would have to replace the oil cooler too??? Thanks

    EGR Coolers 6.0L

    I have been looking to replace my EGR cooler. Looking on Ebay I noticed that the 6.0L EGR coolers have dates. Do I want the coolers manufactured after 2004? I am understanding that I want the one with the round tubes without fins. Input??

    Black coolant

    I stand corrected. I am only speaking from what I have read on the forums. I am planning to at least clean my EGR this weekend for GP. The issue that I am having is, I think, in my after-cooler. I don't think that the coolant is leaking into the engine but I do think that the cooler is not...

    06 CC Dually Check Engine Lite

    I recently got a CEL with P0460 and P2285. Not sure if they coincide with each other. I have changed the fuel filters but no change. I have a stock fuel cell so it's not from a Aux. cell

    to buy or not to buy

    Not all 6.0L have issues. Make sure that, when you test it out, you test drive it from a COLD engine status (make sure that the owner has not 'B' for ya), look for leaks, climb under the truck and look at everything, also look at the top of the engine, check the brakes for possible warped...

    Black coolant

    Because if you wait too long and the EGR fail closed you get high pressure in the engine and then blown head gaskets. (white smoke)
