snowstorm Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 if you want your 6.0 to live the first thing to do is get rid of the egr cooler. the cooler leaks then it burns the coolant then it lifts the heads. and no tuners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell even if it had the 5.4 gas motor, what do you get these days for $500 for crying out loud? I'd a snatched it up in a heartbeat. Good find.

You are not shitting on my purchase, I'm a Mopar guy and only reason I bought it was price and have driven it at work on occasion and know the truck and how maintenance is done on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an '04 F350 with a 6.0 that was burning coolant for a year before it quit and refused to restart. I stripped any parts I could use (the flat deck, wheels and tires, plow harness, trailer hitch) and sold it to a wrecker for $900. That was a steal at $500.

01mxz800 Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 got the truck finally on road and inspected all within 2 hours, needed nothing, must be only a couple of bad glow plugs because if you cycle it twice it starts right up and runs great and has been in the 30's here in the morning, got the new glow plugs and if I get time going to tear it down this weekend 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstorm Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 ficm problems was with the 6.0 how are you going to tell that an injector is sticking by looking at it???? the hardest part of replacing glow plugs in a 7.3 is getting the valve cover off. wiring harness runs through the gasket. and buy the plugs from ford. almost always i buy parts cheaper from ford than napa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
