[dirtdigger]

Nice forum.Good to see not everyone talking bad about 6.0!I bought my 2005 f350 6.0 with 18,500 miles put banks moster exhaust on it super chips tuner replaced it with sct livewire what adiference.now have 22,000 miles no problems i dont beat my truck Ido get on it ounce in a while I tow 12,000# boat a couple times a year about 300 miles round trip.Dealer wont put studs in till head gaskets go.Should I always be nervous waiting for it to fail?Thanks for any insight on this.

Welcome dirt, do you have a pyro and boost gauges installed? If not I would recommend doing so, if you already do, then you are a step ahead of the game. Should you be nervous? If youre not beating on it and using it to run light to light with ricers on a daily basis I would say no, you dont have to be nervous but gaskets fail when they are good and ready to.

no 6.0 haters here....you will love yours, especially with that sct on there!

Thanks for the replies I also got a egt probe for my livewire did not put it in yet.Afraid if gasket went dealer would see were I put it in maifold.Also running amsoil 5-30 synthetic with prolong additive.I will probably put it in anyway just hate to lose warranty.

Was that 5-30 a typo?
You should be running 5-40 synthetic or 15-40.

I am running 5-30.Amsoil tech said this is what to use in 03-07 powerstrokes.5-40 in 08 6.4powerstrokes bcause of emission stuff.
