    bought a 6.0 today. should i be worried?

    The 7.3's are ridiculously priced around here. I looked at a 02 extended cab. Thing had a 6 position chip and was beat to death, the torque converter was just begging for mercy and they still wanted 13k for it. I picked this beauty up for 15, and the interior is mint. People hear the horror...

    bought a 6.0 today. should i be worried?

    Yea factory style cooler, the bullet proof was way to costly for me at the moment. As for the intake, I just have a feeling the stock filter is going to be really expensive. Heck just the fuel filters were 80$! yep full mbrp 4" with t304ss 5" tip. Im not going for high horsepower just fuel...

    bought a 6.0 today. should i be worried?

    Good lord that was a job! 22 hours spent working on it, with 4 guys too. :eek: Wasn't hard, just time consuming. Good thing i had a mbrp 4" turbo back kit ready to go in, because i ended up cutting the stock downpipe out to make room to get the up pipes off. Anyway here's the results. I...

    bought a 6.0 today. should i be worried?

    Ok so after a long battle the warranty company, they arnt going to warranty the work. They said that the oil cooler is more of the cooling system than oil system, I tried explaining that it was a very key part to the oiling system untill i was blue in the face but they wouldn't listen. So now...

    bought a 6.0 today. should i be worried?

    thats exactly what i thought... The warranty isn't through the dealer, its through a separate company. The dealer was the one that warned me about the gauges, he told me to make sure it wasn't in when the inspector comes. I would love to have them install a delete while they're at it but i...

    bought a 6.0 today. should i be worried?

    well looks like ive got a 34* delta, but the coolent temp never came up past 181 (t-stat stuck open?). What is your normal oil temp? I talked to ford today and its scheduled to go in Monday morning. I told them to check the egr cooler as well since i have a slight coolant loss. I was...

    bought a 6.0 today. should i be worried?

    Yep im good till 220,000 miles, or 5 years haha, though they took all my trade in money for the warranty. Ive been convinced to not put a egr delete until the warranty's up, but i am going to install a 4" turbo back exhaust. Im using the CTS just for gauges, later on ill maybe get a sct. The...

    bought a 6.0 today. should i be worried?

    As title says, i bought a 05 250 today. I was driving home from Minnesota and some idiot was driving slow in the left lane, well 3 miles later i said enough was enough and flew around the right side. Well i got past the car and the boost just dropped and the limp mode light came on. I was able...
