Jeeper's 2006 6.0 F350

[jeeper]

SOLD. GONE. NO MORE. OUT OF MY LIFE.

When all is said and done, I made a few bucks on the whole thing, but if you account for the days of missed work due to transporting, repairing, and phone conversations about the truck, I probably came out as a wash..

I had been driving the truck for a few days, and really did enjoy it. I kept having the internal debate on what to do with it.. but ended up deciding to sell.

The next has already happened.. and will be revealed after photos are taken.. but I will tell you I can stand next the the hood while the truck is running and have a phone conversation.

So it's either a gas motor or a newer duramax.

I know what it is and it's not gas and it's not a duramax

My bad. I guess I didnt mention the motor difference yesterday.. I was mostly comparing interior packages.

 

[Cascadia]

Ha. You're getting old Russ. You probably just couldn't hear the motor.

 

[rholbrook]

My hearing is fine, it's just selective. I hear what I want to hear.

Buddy is the 2nd owner of his f350 and got it fixed up at www.WasatchDiesel.com with a "solution kit". They're currently running promotion for free bypass filters that supposedly help extend engine life of older trucks.

Great. Just when I thought I was finally over this. Back to the psychiatrist I go.

6.0 is not just a truck, it's a lifestyle

I would not take a lawn mower to Wasatch. Read my 6.0 thread here. I think Ty is a competent mechanic but they are not good at conducting business. He is pulled to many directions and doesn't have time to focus so he half does everything. They returned my truck after 6 months with bad batteries(dropped it off with brand new interstates) , a bad glow plug module, different front and rear covers and accessories without the billet water pump I dropped it off with. The work they performed was very unprofessional. I've never had a shop put someone else's used parts on my vehicle, that is common practice at Wasatch Diesel Performance from my experience.

Also as someone with quite a bit of experience with 6.0's. I would never run extended oil change intervals which is what most people try to do with bypass filters. The 6.0 shears the oil too quickly. Anything over 5k miles is not worth the risk in my opinion. Do some oil analysis on your truck and see what they say before Goin to extended intervals.

I was wondering when you would jump on this Marshall.

Nobody is gonna fault you for needing a good cry. This thread is legit PTSD.

 

[jeeper]

Must have been off of a 6.0

Funny thing, Jeeper and I took my 6.0 all the way to St George, I told him I was super nervous about so much bad 6.0 juju in one place. I figured there was no way we would make it home. Made it just fine. Thing is running like a top.
