Very good info and straight talking

Bulletproofed mine (2005 Lariat dually 4WD Crewcab) at 38,000 after blown head gaskets…had to put a higher output alternator on it after batteries and FICM failed repeatedly, and circuit board died (Nations sells great units); all electrical issues instantly disappeared. At 100,000 I did a complete cooling system upgrade w/Bulletproof Diesel’s package and added a tuner. Added Banks monster exhaust. Upgraded the factory turbo and intake, added a coolant filtering system. Redid ball joints, new upgraded steering box. Stay on top of maintenance, use Rotella T-6 full synthetic and Archoil friction reducer at every oil change, and Archoil fuel additive at every fill-up. At 110,000 miles, the truck runs and handles better than when I got it new. Have likely put close to $20 k in it, but it’s paid for and I can take it anywhere and tow what I need to. It only took me twenty years to get my truck the way I wanted it.

Do egr delete..that alone will make it very reliable

Lol so its painful cause you have to maintain it? Its just like any other vehicle.

2003, 497k miles all original, only breaks, shocks, and plastic and hoses was replaced.. performed severe duty service religiously… no mods, all stock… every time I go to get oil change shop offered me $15k… I pass every time. I take that back.. I did have a flat tire once… and I did added coolant filter because while changing coolant I found sand. Oh and live in CA with stupid smog… pass every time.

296k and it slaps hard. Sounds amazing and who cares every truck brand has vices. These trucks are rising in price cause they're figured out now so best scoop the pre def diesels up there collectors just like obs.

Great trucks for pulling. I just got my 3rd 2006 6.0L. The first one I went through the engine, put air bags and a gooseneck hitch in it. Pulled loads up to 26K plus no problems It was stolen 2 times before I never saw it again. Second is setup for plowing snow. At 191K miles the only thing wrong is the transfer case. I just got the third one to replace the stolen first one. Got a crew cab which is what I wanted with the first one which was a super cab. Just finished going through the engine with STC replacement, oil cooler, EGR cooler, New stainless up pipes, cleaned the turbo, checked the compression which was 16 psi difference between the high and low. After 18 years there have been some upgrades so it got the 08 fuel banjo fittings, blue spring, aluminum finned rear diff cover, 08 trans pan and filter, 2017 starter and some gauges. The first one would get 9.5 to 10.5 MPG at a gross weight of 20K or over and 15-16 empty coming back. With the 38 gal main tank and a 100 gal transfer tank in the bed under load I could make a 1150 mile trip and stop where I wanted to stop and fuel where the best price was and still have fuel to turn around some. 3.73 ratio helped some, never had a lack of power. At those weights only a fool goes fast with 20-30 feet of trailer behind them. Wouldn't own anything else. Easy to work on the bit parts are not any worse than any other engine. Shell Rotella T6 oil and donaldson or wix filters kept her running. Great trucks.

Nah. Cummins with an Aisin transmission. That's the definition of bulletproof. Oil and fuel filters every 5 thousand= million mile truck. This isn't an opinion. I'm a diesel mechanic- and live it every day... I'm not a Dodge fanboy either- But they make the best chassis out there. Dodge front ends not so much- but pick your poison...

Have a friend got one new in 06 thing had its problems never been deleted just past 450k used for landscaping

Buying on" bullet proofed" doesn't mean it was done properly.

Im buyin a 6.0 for 10grand with 175000 no rust and bulletproofed

i Agree !! Bullet Proof it , and is Reliable!! Cut Down the HEAT Build ups, Clean Coolers, Studs, and IS Reliable...!! ...

i bought a 2003 f250 latriat fx4, rebuilt the motor and ken proofed it. same as bullitproof but did everything but machine work my self. 5 years ago. other than batteries, alt, and a broken waterpump pulley no issues. and as a 7,3 owner i would buy both agian. also working on a a6.7 f550 to make a small dump thruck

Shhhhh, I need all the 6.0s for myself!

Grandfather owns a 2003 6.0 250, never gave him issues or struggled to pull anything. Would it have been better to get a 7.3? Yes, but thats what he ended up getting. He bullet proofed it himself from the dealer and it didnt give him any issue at all.

Selling my low mileage minty 6.0 hit me up anyone!

I bought one about 8 months ago now. Had 259 in it. Now at 276k, including towing a 8k lb camper from Chicago to Sturgis and back. No issues so far other than general maintenance items and some front end work.

Spending$$$$ Bullitt proofing a turd to put around town to sound like a garbage truck makes no sense to me unless you are towing with it to make$$$$$.

Almost totally stock ‘05 F250, 4X4. Upgraded FICM, radiator, blue spring , EGR cooler. Still has the EGR valve and all emissions. Not chipped. Not raised. Runs fine and I pull a 9K boat/trailer all over WA State and even over the mountains into Idaho. Use good oil & filter. Keep up on preventative maintenance. Use the proper EL coolant, not the Ford gold crap, especially after oil cooler replacement.

I may be looking for one. What do you guys think of this? 2003 Ford F-250 Super Duty $8,475 289k miles 6.0 Powerstroke diesel 4x4 Clean Title New AC system New front wheel bearings, ball joints New fuel tank pick up screen New oil cooler Bulletproof EGR cooler Fresh oil change New fuel filters Coolant flush New Degas bottle and cap Updated turbo feed/drain lines Upgraded 4-pin FICM power board New windshield wipers New front brake pads New front left brake caliper Fairly new all terrain Tires Truck starts and runs great, no leaks, no smoke, shifts great. Interior is really clean never been smoked in. Was a company truck at one point. Cold ac

I have a 2007 6.0 with 250k, stock head gaskets. Runs great. I've hauled many times up to the max GCWR (23,500) and Trailer tow rating (15,500) no issues, pulls great. The owner of a 6.0 has to really care and understand how the engine works and what to look out for.

Looking at getting another 6.0 this 1 isn’t bulletproofed yet but runs and drives perfect was owned by an old man and only used to pull a camper. I had way more problems with my 6.7 Cummins than I ever did my old 6.0 but that 1 was bulletproofed

I have 6.0 still. Spent more than 20k extra on fixes so far. Bought it at 140k and now 173k. Worth it? I’d be the judge. I’m going to the shop again for a rod knock.

Just got my shipment today and everywhere front and back is curbbed up. Super frustrating since it’s $ $2000 worth of wheels. But I reached out to them and waiting on a response.

Going on a piece of shit Dodge lol bruhh

430K All STOCK BABY! Only ever replaced 2 injectors lol.

Biggest pos I've ever owned. Bought my 05 with 76000 miles already been studded and deleted. Been through 3 starters 3 alternators had the ficum rebuilt replaced the up pipe rebuilt turbo now I had an injector hold down bolt come loose. I hope it didn't damage the thread's in the head. Haven't got it together yet. And also the transmission is getting a long hard shift. I've had this thing towed so many times my insurance company dropped my towing. And this thing only has 96000miles. And the cost of the parts is just plain ridiculous. And now that the fuel prices are what they are I'm Done. Hopefully the injector will go back in and it's going up for sale.

I'm thinking about buying one an 04 f 350 6.0 is it worth it because of winter soon how often do I change oil and fuel filter and how much does it take to fully Bullitproof it and which ones to do first im starting to read on this and im second guessing myself on buying one someone plz help

U say your "6.0 wasn't that bad?" Well that's a ringing endorsement of a truck lol my old truck is a great truck so reliable from factory never left me setting the 6.0s are awesome power wise but they have so many problems! To many good video brother

Good on gas my ass

Ur in colorado springs

Exactally people love to hate on them because 1 out of 5 owners have a time with it i only had a bad experiance because i was a broke 15 year old and had a led foot then it blew that just what happend and mine had been owned by a 24 year old that never maintained it that was my bad

Not true I have a 2003 with 378,000 miles. No built proof

I appreciate the honest facts

Where u at

I have an 04 Power stroke and it still runs like a champ no problems just got to keep up with the maintenance and take care of them that’s all don’t go all crazy like you see in these KZbin videos like people fucking doing donuts and running the fuck out of their trucks oh yeah don’t do that because your truck won’t last that long take it easy on them but they’ll last

“Bullet proofing”😂😂😂🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️not pushing 🅿️

It seems like all the problems that people complain about is when they try and have it make a bunch of power all the time. Don’t act stupid with them, treat them right, oil changes ext. and they’ll treat you right.

My family has two 2006 6.0..... we do the regular maintenance. Use and treat them like trucks....NOT A RACE CAR........ No PROBLEMS

My 6.0 has 230,000 miles on it with stock heads, not bullet proof, stock turbo, the only thin I did was the EGR cooler. Love my 6.0

That bed liner everywhere looks horrible!

It depends on what you do daily to the truck too, like towing obviously it’s going to be rougher on the truck than just cruising around that’s what I would look for when buying one and if it’s been bulletproofed or not.

314k miles on my stock 6.0 egr delete and a straight pipe no tuner just cold air intake has new high pressure oil pump and that’s it and runs like a top

These guys p pumped a 6.0 kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4u6oKR_eL5osLc

I thought these should be wrapped?

They were shipped loose and not wrapped on a pallet? That sucks bro.

The only problem you'll have is bringing your 6.0 to a mechanic....

6.0 is life.

230k miles non bullet proof on my 6.0 2006. Super reliable. I baby her too so take care of them and they’ll take care of you. Simple
