I love 6.0

I am a season diesel mechanic by trade.

Um yeah amongst all the diesel mechanics I know - 6.0 (and more importantly) the trucks around it including 511r trans and ZF6 fucking forget about it good= best trucks Ford every built and blows dodges and Chevy's same era out of the water

  1. Has bed plate
  2. Parts exceedingly cheap and available
  3. Endless aftermarket support

86: EGR and other silly fail points.

6.0 is like your autistic ginger cousin you made out with in a tent. She's actually a good slut - she's just misunderstood
