Great work on the videos and channel. Monitoring and Oil, coolant, and trans filtration on a 6.0 are critical. They can get a bad rap, but they're damn solid if a guy corrects a few stock weaknesses and maintains them well. The 6.0 is a 500,000 mile motor all day long if it's taken care of/ - As a side note, the guys at FICMRepair are damn solid resources for any 6.0 owner. They sell pretty much any part a guy could need and the customer service is stellar. They help guys all the time with troubleshooting, OE and aftermarket parts selection, etc. - Plus, if you're going to own/drive a 6.0, the FICM tunes they sell wake the beasts up very nicely. Best of all, they help with fuel mileage!

[@Illsayanything]

Yea my Cummins only makes 600+ hp and I’ve never blown anything and it doesn’t have any “stock weaknesses.” Funny enough I’d never buy a pickup truck with “stock weaknesses” as serious as the 6.0-6.4 Ford motors. Hellll no.. and I get 23 mpg.

The 6.0 is the second best engine Ford ever used. I put my money were my mouth is and I own a 250 and a 450 with the same engine. My experience is that with proper maintenance of known issues the trucks are great. First raise fuel pressure with blue springs. Second flush oil cooler every 2 to 3 years. Third keep the oil clean and leave the damn thing alone!!!! No custom tuning larger turbos or rolling coal. The guys with the stretched head bolts, blown head gaskets and starting problems did it to themselves. Leave the damn thing alone because surprise; you aren't an engineer.

Imo, 6.0s aren't a good first truck. Yes, they can be really reliable, after they've gotten the works done. That also takes cash. Don't get me wrong, I love my 6.0, but a 12 valve or 7.3 is a good starter. If you're mechanically inclined and feel like you're able to do head gaskets and head studs, then a 6.0 is a good candidate.

@@brettrichards666 thanks for the information!

@Vincent Np. I'm not trying to steer you away from a 6.0, I'm just being upfront. If you think you can handle what it takes to make a 6.0 reliable, I say do it. Of you're new to diesel, 12 valves or 7.3s are much simpler. Haha

@@brettrichards666 yeah I got you, after doing the little research I did so far, I realize that the 6.0 was kinda designed poorly because of all the problems it has stock. But after all the bullet proofing and blue spring and other mods it's good but it is a lotta work to do and a lotta money for being new to diesels lol

That's a lot you have to deal with on a 6.0 I have a 7.3l it's oil water and drive
