How to make a 6.0 reliable (bulletproofing from an expert)

6.0 power stroke bulletproof build

[@charlespare58]

Ty for sharing your knowledge .

[@louisbaldespino]

This not a bullet proof repairs, those repairs are very simple/basic. Yes use only OEM parts when you work on a powerstroke

[@Farmer_1776]

Delete the oil cooler from the block and go remote

If you hear the word Bullet Proof with 6.0 99% of the time there talking about the 6.0 Powerstroke Diesel.

@@badass6.0powerstroke10 and thats why I clicked on it because how would bulletproff a good engine

[@seanheartley6115]

Stock head gaskets are trash my man. MAHLE is the best for your 6.0 bulletproof. You should do head gaskets, oil rail balls, stand pipe and dummy plugs, HPOP, oil cooler, water pump, and thermostat. That’s bare minimum otherwise you’ll be right back in there.

Dude I got an 03’ 355k, leaking oil more like spewing. So I watched some DTR , and got under the hood . First wrong oil filter cap. Then I get to the oil cooler cover and they have updated return tubes. Using the old style cover still.. They tried to JB weld or some weird rubbery substance to keep it from leaking in to the valley and if I didn’t have pictures I wouldn’t believe it either. So my question is. Should I do the oil cooler while it’s open? Or just get the updated cover.

[@seanheartley6115]

@@StylesToHateI’d do the oil cooler while I’m there. Especially with the oil cooler being one of the biggest most common failures on these trucks

[@dannmann17]

I just got 6.0 that someone put a plate in place of the EGR. I don’t understand how the truck is running good at idle like this? I have a under-boost code and no power under load?

[@kingcrimsontheworld]

Needs a tune if it’s a 2005-2007. Strange that someone would’ve deleted the egr without tuning it. The later years go into “limp mode” if the emissions equipment isn’t there without a tune

[@juanjaimes1836]

youre making me regret my purchase lol, i got an 03 with 175k miles fully stock.

[@hakrx1]

04 with 243k fully stock, finally having to replace the HPOP. This info isn't very accurate.

[@firsttimediesels6289]

Within 2 minutes i stopped. Far from an expert.

[@STROKER-GARAGE]

Don’t worry. You’ll never get this far with any engine anyway

[@firsttimediesels6289]

@STROKER-GARAGE done quite alot with these engines. Mine made good power. You don't seem to understand that all 6.0s had oil rails in the heads over the injectors. All of them did. Lost me there.

[@STROKER-GARAGE]

@@firsttimediesels6289 all of them do😂 everybody knows that. I’ve owned mostly 03s with the log type. I meant to say “larger oil rails” in the 04+ but thanks for the info buddy

[@firsttimediesels6289]

@STROKER-GARAGE you're the one who said otherwise man 😂😂🤡
