Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted January 4, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 4, 2018 Was headed north 2 days ago . Truck is a 2006 f350 diesel , temp gauge was in the sweet spot but heat was intermitant. At times seemed normal , then would blow cold air for 3-4 minutes then normal again. Did it at 13 below and 15 above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Crappie Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Could just be low on coolant. That commonly causes the issue you are experiencing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstorm Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 the 6.0 is not a bad motor if you do a few things. egr cooler is #1 i leave the egr valve in place and you may not get check engine lite. if it dose need gaskets use arp head studs and ford gaskets. i have had several of these. only use ford racor filters no napa junk. i would buy another 6.0 if it was a deal. a 6.4 i would not buy. my 6.7's have been great except for fuel pumps 1 truck is going in for its 2th one. one of my 6.0 is in a f550 that pushs 19' of cutting edge down the road at mostly 3000rpm sometimes for 20 hrs its never left me stranded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
