THE TOP UPGRADE FOR YOUR 6.0 POWERSTROKE!

Todays video we go over one of the top best upgrades to do on your 6.0 powerstroke. The dually gets the action with a ODAWGS S2R ported intake manifold. Flowing 46% more air than the factory intake many guys have seen increased fuel economy and lower egts upwards of 200 degree drops! Not to mention the S2R is 100% emissions compliant!

6.0s are so underrated. People who buy into the bullshit have never truly had their hands on one. As a whole its the best diesel platform of all time

[@powerstroke6.7]

😂😂 the top upgrade to a 6.0 is to sell it asap… I had one bulletproofed, took extremely good care of it and constantly things went wrong with it. Wasted countless days replacing and fixing. If it wasn’t one thing it was another. Unfortunately I’m not the only one.. everything bad you ever heard about these pieces of crap is 100% true. Best day was the day I got rid of it and got a 6.7

[@BestMovies_AndEditz]

@@powerstroke6.7”Bulletproof” is a very broad term

[@Chevydude1982]

It's because of the emissions they put on it and dumbasses that put a race tune in it and then try to tow 10000lb trailers up a grade and blow head gaskets then hop on the forums sitting on it. We'll the larger trucks and busses and dump trucks they put them in didn't have to have a egr and guess what they never had any problems. The 6.0 is a badass ass engine and going from a concept to reality in less than a year I'd say Navistar did one hell of a job. People don't talk shit about the 6.7 and that things has way more problems then the 6.0 and 7.3 combined. The problem is all the emissions bullshit they make them have. That's y there are no reliable diesels on the roads now days.from cars to pick ups to semis. They all break down more then they should.

[@Chevydude1982]

​​@@powerstroke6.7sorry to yell u this bud but the 6.7 is a bigger piece of crap and I've been working on and building these ford diesels everyday since the 7.3 powerstroke came out. If u dont know what ur doing or taking it to people that don't know what they're doing ur always gonna have problems. Not the the engines fault.

[@powerstroke6.7]

@@Chevydude1982 let’s just agree to disagree. You stated nothing but opinions and feelings, no facts. If the 6.0 is so good why didn’t navistar or ford keep the platform? Because it’s a disaster. People have made careers off of working on 6.0’s. I’ve never met a 6.0 owner in real life that likes the engine, it’s always some guy on internet that “works on them all the time” that talks how good they are. 🤣

[@alanyoung3301]

I went with the S3R intake, Icon aluminum heads from KDD, 1.5 turbo from KC Turbos, stage 1 cam from River City, new FoMoCo lifters, oil cooler, HPOP, LPOP, water pump, fan switch, FICUM. Switched to CAT ELC red and a coolant filter from KDD. It's a 2004 and I dumped all that air damper crap up top and it now looks like a 2005. Oh yeah, tunes from Warren. It's a beast now. Pulling a gooseneck with a 1973 Plymouth Roardrunner thru the Ozarks in 95 degree + never got more than a 8 degree delta except when the ECT drops quickly on downgrades - EOT doesn't drop as quickly. EGT's under 1100 max. Calculated 22 MPG aveage empty at 70 MPH (can't afford to fix the overhead computer now!) Whistles like an old Kenworth! 186K miles on the clock - all the crosshatching on the cylinder walls was still factory new looking. Run Rotella T6, 5W-40 and I threw in some Archoil on the 1st change. Didn't lift the cab - pulled out the front.

[@TruthSee-Ker]

How much did all that run you? Did you do the work yourself?

[@alanyoung3301]

@@TruthSee-Ker Way too much and hopefully my wife doesn't read this! A few years ago I would have tackled it myself but i'm too old and fat these days. I had a highly recommended diesel shop in Inola, Oklahoma do the work (I live in NW Arkansas about 60 miles to the east). I'm surprised he didn't charge me extra for watching but I tried my best to keep my mouth shut most of the time. I gathered up the parts first and when I had them all together, I loaded them up in the back and took the truck in. The shop purchased a few odds and ends locally from the Ford dealer but it was mainly a labor-only deal. Cost-wise, all in, I landed at about $15K but I started with a really nice Lariat that I bought for $13.5K with 148,000 on the odometer and a blown head gasket. So the way I look at it, I have a really nice F350 Superduty for $28.5K. I wouldn't have balked at a really nice 350 SD on a dealer lot so I think I came out OK. The worst part was waiting for the heads from KDD. . . they took 6 months to arrive during COVID.

[@gabewall7381]

I put an s3r on my truck and the best piece of advice I have is install the bolts in the intake manifold while it’s still off of the truck on the bench using the intake gaskets to hold everything in place. Makes it so much easier and there’s no chance you can drop a bolt while doing it.

[@LeftLaneDiesels]

I know many guys use this method with great success.

I've got a 2006 6.0 lariat that I've had since new. Truck is completely stock other than a ficm I replaced about 2 years ago. As others have mentioned, these truck engines are phenomenal if you know how to maintain them. You have to use motorcraft parts, 5000 oil change with rotella and fuel filter changes every 10,000. Mix in a coolant flush every other summer and you can get 400,000 miles out of them. I'm at 205000 miles and still running strong

I’ve seen a handful of videos of people who have had clearance issues (mainly the idler pulley)… you would think O Dawg would take this into consideration for future castings knowing that majority of 6.0s have had or will have head work done. I’ve been considering this upgrade for a while, but am worried about the same issue. I hate having to do work twice.

[@LeftLaneDiesels]

@@Powerstroke7911 from what I understand all odawgs intakes will come with a washer to space out the idler pulley. In regards to clearance of the oil cooler, I don’t think this will be a continued issue. Just wanted to make sure I added it to the video to make sure guys check for clearance in this specific spot to alleviate doing the job twice.

I just put mine on and haven't driven the truck much. Thanks for the heads up, I'm going to check my clearance now! Also, almost impossible to tell until its seated due to the fact you have to compress that giant coolant donut with the manifold. I also had to grind a small amount off the lower ear of my alternator and shim the alternator up about .075" to clear an access plug.

Thanks for mentioning the alternator, I’ve ran into a few that the access plug hit the alternator as well. Especially guys that have larger alternators… but even the stock alternators can hit.

Definitely on the list for my truck. I wish I would have done it before my compound build.

[@LeftLaneDiesels]

What I’ve come to realize is how air restrictive these engines are. They just don’t flow! This along with a few other air flow related products can SUBSTANTIALLY boost performance when combined(double the airflow from factory). I’m hoping to capitalize on this with the sled pull truck. Your truck would seriously benefit with the compound set up.

[@scubasteve7946]

Yeah, I have heard that just sometimes that scoop falls out from that back tube and it even makes a slight difference for the better. I mean, if you're not lucky enough to have a full LLD set of pipes yet that is.

That, and I am curious about the Speed of Aire dimpled pistons also in a 6.0

New O'ring heads, ARP studs, egr delete, KC stage1 jetfire, stock but newer injectors, bottom end reseal, and the rest of the normal upgrades.. so, my question is about EGT'S, i upgraded my 5th wheel, towing at the highend of capacities but still within them. When pulling grades, 6or 7 plus, i have to slow way down because 1250/1300. So, asking if an odawg intake and / or other upgrades can lower my EGT'S?

[@mongoose60ft42]

I use vacuum hose to slide over the head of the bolt on applications like this

First the wiring harness is really stretch out with the height of the Odawg intake. Which most likely won’t be an issue but with my on harness caused me some concern. Second having a larger than stock alternator you have to space the alternator so it won’t touch the top of the manifold. That put more strain on the stock belt which might not be a big deal but made me uncomfortable.
