WMO and 6.0?

[Broncoxraptor]

Is this a bad idea? I have EGR delete SCT tuner set on street performance and coolant filter.

IMO it is a bad idea. The injection system in the 6.0 is very sensitive to fuel quality and requires the best maintenance and fuel quality to survive.

Thanks, this is the input I need, I know A LOT about 66-77 broncos but not much about diesel fuel systems.

yeah stick with quality diesel fuel, and run a good fuel additive.

Really the only Ford diesel that should be running WMO is the IDI.

I'm half tempted to do it in the Ex. We shall see.

imho the determining factor is your willingness to repair the system when it get taken out by running WMO. if you can financially take the gamble, the dice is in your hands. if you can't, then don't tempt fate. it will happen. not a matter of if, a matter of how soon.

I would follow Wmoguy's turbo thread.....his VGT turbo just took a s*** and he thinks it may have been because of the exhaust from running WMO.

stock rebuilt injectors from Warren diesel are the same price as IDI injectors/IP. If I can settle the carbon out of the oil, I will try to run it in the 6.0. If the carbon won't settle out, then no way.

 

[Broncoxraptor]

I'm going to filter my old oil and run a gallon or half gallon per fill up as a measure of lubrication for the fuel system but since the fuel system is so fragile I'll abstain from using it as a fuel source.

Figured out what did it. (I think)

the return line for the turbo was only 3/8" it apparently needs to be bigger and not have a 90 degree bend right at the bottom of the turbo, so it drains better.



BTW, following this thread. I bought a 6.0 last night. I intend to figure out how to make it use WMO. On some "other" boards, there are guys running WMO successfully for a few years now w/o issue. It seems to be the name of the game, even moreso vs. an IDI, is filtering filtering filtering. I'm going to try and "crack" the WMO into diesel vs. filtering and blending

 

[FordGuy100]

Yes. I would filter it, then centerfuge it like crazy.

The one I drive now a 2003 6.0 just locked up the VGT part of the turbo and it never has seen WMO so maybe the 140,000 miles had something to do with it?
CMON that was a silly comment...

Well, that should make figuring out your truck easier when you recover from your back problems.

And about the 6.0....we want details.

Havne't taken any good pics yet believe it or not.

It's an 04' F350 CCLB SRW Lariat 6.0 Auto. 79k miles, very clean Oasis report. Pickup is in immaculate condition. I'm still waiting for the cops to show up, cuz I got a STEAL of a price on it from a dealer I've done biz with before.
