6.0L PowerStroke Blue Spring Upgrade

Dude, did this on my 6.0L before I sold it. Very nice upgrade! Honestly my 6.0 was sweet. Swapped out the coolant early on and did the EGR delete/MBRP exhaust/tune. Ran like a champ!

@@rocko8153 I dunno about now since innovative diesel changed names but I had mine custom tuned by innovative back about 9 years ago, they will send ya a blank programmer and have you pull ur specific strategy code from ur ecm and u send that code to them via email and they will build you tunes and email them back and all ya do is download the software and move the tunes to ur programmer and ur good to go

Is that so you can be fairly confident you can get at least 1 to start? Sorry, couldn't resist.

[@connor3288]

So you always have 1 to drive while you work on the others. Just kidding. I'm a big fan of the vgt turbo on 6.0s, not a big fan of the the 7.3/6.0 injector setup using engine oil, and ease of repair compared to cummins. My favorite 1 ton diesel would be mechanical injection cummins, vgt turbo, gm ifs front suspension, and ford interior, built by toyota haha.

I was wondering what year f250 diesel you would recommend. I am looking for one with an exracab and an 8 ft bed. Correct me if I am wrong, but I want the 38 gallon fuel tank which is only in the 8ft bed model. I was thinking 75,000 to 90,000 miles. Maybe 2011 to 2016 model year.

​​@@johnshuler1396might check f250 vs f350. Now. Fords 1 ton super dutys get a 48 gallon fuel tank. The f250s only get 34. Theres no factory option to upsize the tank size on a f250 iirc. I dunno bout the 6.0s tho

Mainly because some people don’t know how to properly maintain , diagnose and repair the 6.0 , when you start tuning them the first thing that happens is the head gaskets blow yes but your increasing boost pressures . Everything else is simple maintenance to keep the 6.0 running fine . You don’t need to spend 10k to keep one running . You spend 10k when you have someone who doesn’t know how to diagnose a 6.0 .
