2004 F-450 Powerstroke CC Dump, next project...

Put a oil cleaner through it first. A sludge remover.

Apart from the poorly-designed stock EGR cooler, the 6.0 is not so bad as it's often pointed out.

False. The egr coolers were redesigned in 2005 into a square shape and Hence weaker. The 03-04 were round and much less prone to failure.

The heel of the 6.0 powerstroke is the 4 head bolts (torque to yield style) per cylinder compared to industry standard 6.

2nd heel is the huei injectoin system and supporting oil system. But that is a whole different beast.

When fitted with head studs, the head gasket issues all but disappear.

I was waiting for you to chime in and school the rooster!

A Cummins is better than the 6.0 anyway

 

[Mixedbreed]

Not according to my track times against a equally built Cummings

 

[cRiPpLe_rOoStEr]

Better not everytime equals to faster.

Says the slower truck fan.

Don't say aomething you wouldn't say if the roles were reversed.

I am not saying cummins are bad, just my truck with a 6.0 puts the hurt on them around here.

Cummins has a better reputation for reliability and ease of maintenance. Ford even used Cummins engines into the F250, F350 and F550 for some overseas markets.

Great?
