Ford 6L

[byronkentgraham]

Did they get any better towards the end of their run? Found a 2006 F250 loaded for an awesome price. Just scared of that 6L.

RUN! No such thing as better near the end of the run......Still the biggest POS diesel on the market. Why do you think the price is so awesome? Almost impossible to sell them. You're absolutely correct in your nervousness over a ford 6.0L.......

because under 80,000km for 34K on a Harley Davidson Edition seemed good...except that POS 6L

Sorry to burst your bubble but the 6.0 is more trouble than its worth.
Im a ford guy and I wont buy one!!
They can be made reliable but it takes money to do it.

The only way to do it is be prepared to do the upgrades, other than that consider the truck a ticking bomb. They need head studs, egr delete, possible ficm upgrade and that should get it half ass reliable.

Is the 6.4 any better?

Is the 6.4 any better?

Deleted and if the maintenance is kept up, yes.

6.0PSD's are garbage plain and simple. Not worth the frustration and costs even if it the initial price is dirt cheap.

Just stay away. Best bet.

Is the 6.4 any better?

Don't by either. Unless U want to be the guy with the four ways on.

Both suck balls.

7.3 PSD is the way to go for ford diesels.

Why doesn't ford just put a cat motor in all their trucks. Make life easier.

Dodges are way to fawking uncomfy. Like driving a brick. Every little bump feels like you're doing 3' drop offs. Plus the awful front ends. The death wobble scares me.

Chevs shake and rattle and the cabs refuse to stay tight, have the loosest stearing.

Needs too many aftermarket parts to make big power.

when was the last time you checked out a dodge? pretty nice rigs now a days little crude in yrs past but that never seemed to matter as they just kept on going personally have put over 400000kms on my past 3 cummins without any issues sure front ends a few times but I see the fords and chevs pound the same roads I do and they are in getting front end work as well and the only times I experienced this death wobble was when the steering stabilizer was completely shot

I've seen plenty 6.0l go well
Past 300,000 with no major issues. Then again I've seen them blow up before 100,000. Leave em stock and drive the piss outta them. Was an engine that couldn't be babied. The ones that I've seen that have had major issues usually were chipped.

The 6.4L is an awesome motor. Especially since by the sounds of it you are looking to make power, you're put at a reliable 550HP with simply a tuner, exhaust and a CAI. Ours has 95K on it with no issues, and all of it has been towing in excessive of 10K or long haul trips.

I want power but equally important fuel economy.

My 2003 6.0 Lt has been good to me.... So Far !!!

 

[byronkentgraham]

Lucky you. Our 2003 6L went through 5 injectors and several other majors.

We had a 6.4, it was good until 170000k then boom!
