I know 20 year olds who look older than you.. I know 80 year olds who don’t look much older.. You have aged well bro! Never slow down and you’ll never grow old.. Laugh out loud because it’s the best medicine! Keep on keepin on bro ❤
Billy Hewitt (R.I.P. brother you are greatly missed) did prove the 6.0 powerstroke is by far the lowest cost of ownership diesel on the road. It takes a meticulous maintenance regiment, but as an 05 super duty owner with 495k on a stock head bolt set up, I can say (from experience) that the internet stigma that surrounds these motors is usually attached to an uneducated or ignorant individual.
Where can I get more information on the actual realities of maintaining a 6.0 powerstroke because if what you say is correct I'm definitely interested I was leaning towards a 7.3 but 6.0s are cheaper.
And This Honesty is why I keep coming back as I need items. I also highly recommend Ed and Crew as they are some of the most Honest people in the business
I have a isuzu c223 im doing alot of work to . Got any tips for head studs? I know the factor bolts can handle alot but i want my kids to own this dinosaur one day
Unfortunately there is no such thing as "Buy Once, Cry Once" for a Powerstroke 6.0L. Repaired the FICM? Now you have a high pressure oil leak from a bad gasket. Repaired the gasket? Now your HPOP has failed. Repaired your HPOP? Uh oh your oil cooler is plugged up with casting sand and sludge. Fixed your oil cooler? Better do the EGR cooler as well. Stand pipes, dummy plugs, injector failure, head gasket failure, injector rail cup o-rings, injector o-rings, crush washers.......this engine is a POS. It's a GREAT engine for power......when it's running right. Unfortunately, it's often not running right. I still am so happy I traded in my '04 Powerstroke and got the hell out from under it.
@@hakrx1 had to have been, it's been noted time and again these engines work wonderfully at stock if you take care of em, the bottom end I've even heard is good for something stupid like 5 or 600hp from factory but iunno about all that! I do know that once you start slacking on maintenance (or your' mechanic is trash) and the top end starts going bad is when you start having issues throughout the entire motor, so I mean I will give him that once that ooooone thing goes bad it can very easily cascade, but you have to be fucking up pretty hard; plus with the knowledge we have now on fluids (Don't use Motorcraft gold, if you need to add stuff to your oil/fluid it's the wrong fluid no matter what the dealer says...) and common issues like ficm voltage from shitty batteries these engines when done right are reliable as fuck. The REAL issues arise when these goobers start dumping more fuel into the tune to jump the horsepower numbers and not doing the necessary work on the engine, like all those gaskets and o-rings they were just talking about going bad are going to go bad at some point when you modify the parameters they're meant to work within.
@@D34THW41K3Rnoted so well how great they are, Ford and Navistar dropped them as soon as possible and cost both companies millions. Cognitive dissonance on parade.
@@asherdie uh huh, and 20 years later we still have quite a few on the road... Couldn't be me coping, nah not at all 😂 Also, if you're going to use big words like cognitive dissonance you should at least Google what they mean; what part of MY behavior and beliefs are contradicting each other right now my guy? I believe 6.0s are good engines, and as such I physically own one of them too and can confirm it's perfectly fine at (mostly) stock, exactly like my comments have said. There's no dissonance there at all between the two, just the fact you can't wrap your head around my own experiences being different than what every idiot on the internet has said before about their moon-tune shitbox.

I love Eds advice, literally always waiting for a new video to drop.

It comes from people that have torn them completely down. They are junk.

Idk man, my 04 has 243k and putts right along with an 80hp atlas tune non studded. You must have been doing something wrong lol
