The Struggle Bus is apparently making an extend tour of yer neck of the woods. You guys luck has been down, SRC the same and a few others I track in that area also banging heads against the wall on projects. What great Karmic insult has your area committed my friend?? =x With the issues I have heard about on those 6.0's you may want to try and get him into something a bit more reliable since it's upgrade time anyway. Not generally a Ford guy (unless it has a Chevy/Mopar engine and is under 2k#'s) so I don't know the choices... but I do know a good Cummins would probably be a relatively easy transplant. ;-) I have heard Ford did hold the Cummins engine contract for a few years but I have never seen one in person. Perhaps there's factory adapters even?
Agree, probably a wonky tune. Not sure why people are compelled to do that...
6.blow honestly not a bad engine if maintained and not raced around town
Could it have been showing good compression because of the oil leaking by the compression ring there by acting like a wet test?
I'll stick with my 7.3 idi ,I have over 350 k on it ,even thoe it's getting wore slam out ,as a construction truck after a hard life as a ranch truck
Should go ahead and check lifters and upgrade to johnson lifters and 6.4 rods
