Replying to: rich422006 (Feb 05, 2007 10:14 am) First year '03 model had lots of birthing pains. Took several iterations of engine control software to get it right. There were a bunch of other problems with oil and coolant leaks, turbo tubes blowing off, the "thrum" and the "romp", etc., etc. They had a lot of the problems resolved by end of '03. But there is still a higher incidence of problems than there was with the previous 7.8L Powerstroke. When it runs right, 6.0L is supposedly a wonderful motor, but when it's got problems, it's driving folks nuts. IMHO Ford goofed, Navistar has this engine running great on its own vehicles, but in an effort to save cost, Ford decided to redesign all the engine controls when they contracted with Navistar to build the engines for them. I think the Ford bean-counters shot themselves in the foot.   Ford went with the new 6.4L engine to be able to meet the new much stricter emmissions standards for diesels, and to be able to handle ultra low sulphur diesel fuel. Hopefully they learned a hard lesson with the 6.0L

It is my understanding that the 6.0 was unique among diesels in using both electronics AND oil pressure to control fuel injection. All other engines were one or the other.   Oil viscosity variations change engine performance. PLUS Ford did not get the word out DO NOT MOD THIS ENGINE.   Mark.

Replying to: akenaten (Apr 02, 2006 4:00 pm) The answer to that is most definitely YES, I can not get my mind around a company as big as Ford putting out on the market such a complete piece of junk. And if you know people that have to really work a truck for a living Dodge and GM are not much better. Ford, Dodge and GM have been doing this to us since the 1970's and than they cry bloody murder and try to give use a guilt complex about not being patriotic enough when we are forced to buy something made in Japan, I for one am sick and tired of them peeing on my head and telling me it's only raining.

Replying to: bewhite25 (Jan 13, 2006 12:04 am) Yes the 6.4 is also a International engine, which they just stopped delivering to Ford. Something about Ford not paying for the engines. But it has 2 turbo's instead of one that way it will cost you 8 thousand dollars to replace them instead of the normal 4. I've been buying Ford diesel F-350's since the late 1970's take it from some one who knows, get the extended warranty and don't do any modifications to the truck if you want the warranty to be honored.
