    What to look for when buying used 6.0

    Well to be truthful with ya, I haven't looked too hard for brakes for mine yet, and my pricing was based on our old 97 250. One thing I'll never waste money on is turning a warped rotor... I did that game twice, and all it did was come back and warp even worse. Not worth the time or aggravation...

    Limited Slip....... NOT

    Yeah, mines toast too... you could just burn it out and have them replace it... go find some slick stuff, put the right tires on the solid surface and let the left tire spin. That will absolutely toast it. let it go for about 10 or 15 minutes... Then go back to the dealer and say, see... told...

    What to look for when buying used 6.0

    I'll take that bet.. a clutch is what, $500, and I'm being generous, brakes are 50-75 per axle assuming you don't have to do rotors, add rotors, 200 per axle. they last 40-50k, I usually get 150k+ out of a clutch. If you're doing the work yourself, which I think is completely normal, brakes...

    Coolant loss

    I'd be headed back to talk to your salesperson or local magistrate over this one... sounds like you got taken for a ride, and didn't get kissed when it was over.

    Hotter themostat

    Quite simply you can fix that very easily... put a piece of cardboard in front of the rad. cover maybe a third to start with, and add more if need be. It's an old trick on bog trucks, and it works fine with ours. Unless you're going to be hauling a lot around with you, this is much simpler and...

    Periodic heavy white smoke

    what does it smell like, or you only see it when you're going down the road? Could be an injector goofing up.

    What to look for when buying used 6.0

    Simple... they want you to buy the friggin automatic... If the low to first gear range wasn't so F'd up I'd have never bought the auto. I like it, but I miss the control and the efficiecy and longer brake life of the manual. If this transmission ever goes out, I'm seriously looking at an...

    2006 oil recommendation

    Mobil 1 synthetic 5w-40 Diesel oil. If you can find it at walmart, good luck. It's a ***** to find in Pittsburgh... DON'T use the Mobil 1 designed for gasoline engines. Additive package is all wrong for our application.

    2006 oil recommendation

    Mine seems to run smoother with Mobil 1 in it. I've been running the rotella syn since about 10k. I've got 37k on it now, and about teh only issue I have is fuel showing up in the oil, but that's not the oil's fault. Mobil 1 is a full synthetic, I believe Rotella's some kind of a high end...

    EGR Sticking

    the fan clutch itself is electric. I didn't know it was variable though.. I thought it was an all or nothing job, just like the air operated ones on big engines.

    Coolant flush procedure

    If you're running straight distilled in it now, you're probably seeing some rust from the block, don't forget you have some dissimilar metals in there, iron on the block, and aluminum for the radiator. As long as it's still translucent, you're okay. Really, distilled is kinda overkill for...

    Springs

    Weight I'm certain there's a significant difference there. They might be a bit longer, I'd think they might be a bit wider too. You might be further ahead to go to a spring shop, and have them make you a set with an extra leaf or two...

    05 KR f350 PSD IN SHOP AGAIN!

    I'd second that... there are plenty of dealerships out there, and more than a couple have lousy tech departments. It's sad really. Take it to a different branch dealer and explain to them the history and what's up. I'll bet you'd be fine after that.

    Its 50 but starts like 25?

    maybe they're screwing around with the fuel again...

    My Stupid Truck

    I'd be betting on a hpop line or something in that circuit... I just got my latest blackstone report back, and I went from 3% fuel to 5% fuel... time to call the dealer. runs fine, but I'm betting and injector. fuel mileage hasn't really done anything great, always around 13-14 no mater how I...

    6.0 a'going.

    Sounds like it's not there yet...

    stupid question...

    I'm up in Pittsburgh PA... Even with shipping it's still cheaper than buying it at the store when you figure local taxes on it. I'd rather reward someone for not being greedy, pay UPS to do what they do best, and break even, than feed the greed.

    stupid question...

    Thanks guys... Bush, your article was the one I remembered... I found a web site Ford OEM parts, Motorcraft, Ford Motorsports, S&B Filters, and stainless steel license plate tags that sells the fluid for 3.86 a quart. 6.0 Power Stroke diesel filters I can't find the fluid anywhere else...

    stupid question...

    I can't find the link for the transmission fluid change... anybody have it handy? I searched over a hundred posts, so at least I looked. Thanks! :thanks

    Got weird smoke...

    I didn't think about it at first, but yeah another possibility is an injector. If it's not making a good spray pattern, that could be part of it.

    Got weird smoke...

    Does it do it every time? I'm wondering if you have an injector that's getting tempermental, and it's leaking engine oil before the fuel shot? Do you have a tuner? How much smoke, little puff or significant amount. Might even be a ring? Bad rings generally equate to blue smoke under load. Hard...
