The Surplus Firearm awesome man ! Welcome to the 6.0 fam.

Is owning one as scary and money pitting as ppl makes them seem?

@@rdrgz228 I never could shake the fear of it blowing up. If you get one, make sure you install a good alarm that kills the ficm when it’s off. Mine got stolen a few months ago and hasn’t been seen since. The older fords are stolen very often

Thanks man Absolutley appreciate the support

Sounds like you’ll be needing a new oil cooler soon. You can also look into “backflushing” your coolant system … to break away debris from oil cooler to keep oil/coolant delta temp closer to each other. 20 degree delta is past due for fresh oil cooler… go ahead and do the oil cooler with STC fitting update and I think you’ll be super pleased!! Thank you for watching and god bless

THANKS FOR THE COMMENT AND CHECKING OUT THE CHANNEL! Really appreciate the support hope the video helped and you enjoyed it. Thanks again ❤️💯🤘🏻

I w had mine about 4 years. Absolutely a joy.

Thanks man!! Appreciate it

Thanks for the info!!

_ghost dancer_ they are a pain to work on. If your planning on doing major engine work on it be prepared for most shops to charge extra for labor

Congrats! You like it? Looking to trade for 1 tiday

Did you buy it? If so, how do you like it so far?

@@tysprojects2571 no I didn’t end up buying it…knowing 6.0s and how how they can shit the bed whenever they want it would’ve been irresponsible for me to buy to one since it would’ve been my first vehicle.

Yessir that was it. She’s gone

JUSTINHAWKSMITH awesome that hog is mint. Wanted to buy it just because it was so clean and low miles but I can’t justify a dually lol

Could be a number of things you probably figured it out already but oil pressure sensor or turbo drain or filter houseing all those are on front side of top of motor

Yes, definitely the FICM. Have to check and keep batteries healthy so as to not get low voltage that will damage the FICM. BTW, unless you are fairly wealthy YOU HAVE to be a mechanic to keep an eye on everything that could go wrong to keep from blowing the motor. I had a 2003 first generation 6.0 I used for transporting. Went all over the country and border to border, and coast to coast several times and talked to every mechanic that would help trying to figure out why it was blowing blue smoke. Right before I screwed up and lost the truck I figured out that it was the wiring harness inside the transmission shorting out. I tried everything under the sun prior to that. But, once I changed that harness it ran like a brand new truck. Just shortly after that though I screwed up and accidentally put a little gas in it and blew the injectors.... because I didn't have the money to fix it I had to trade it off for a beater to get home to get back in my other truck to be able to keep running and not lose my business. Sad, sad time in my life when I lost that truck. I was just learning to love it.

Good point brother , also can cause cracks in the degas bottle ... gets hot and cold so many times and plastic deteriorated and becomes delicate. Had that happen on both my 6.0’s. Thanks for the comment !

I would not pay 21k for a truck with 200k miles. 15k max

got my 06 f350 with 167k on it with all the service records 5k oil change intervals ect for 16,700. Id focus more on service records when purchasing these older trucks and then have it bullet proofed so you know its done properly, a lot of people seem to have different ideas of bullet proofing.

Failed head gaskets it’s still sadly common even on “bulletproofed” trucks. If your pushing coolant you more than likely have blown head gaskets sadly.

No because there’s no bubbles in coolant tank and no white smoke out the tailpipe and it never overheats so I doubt it

@@noahpitman1352 trucks with blown headgaskets wont overheat, wont commonly push white smoke , and bubbles wouldnt occur either, only pushing coolant.

Yep. They can push cylinder pressure into the the cooling system via a blown head gasket. The best way to check is to "T" a pressure gauge into the small line near the degas bottle. Drive the truck until it reaches operating temp. Watch the gauge. If it exceeds 16psi. under a load then your gaskets are roached. 16psiis when the cap relieves pressure and you get coolant being "pushed out".

@@JUSTINHAWKSMITH 1 good advice for a quick check.

Depends on your budget. If you want to do the bullet proofing yourself then buy the 135k one. If you dont want to pay for that then buy the bullet proofed one. Hoped this helped

Yeah I kind of agree with a dog above here^ , all depends on budget and also price. I’d you can get the stock one cheaper plus it’s got less miles, if the head gaskets are good you can bulletproof whenever you’d like and have a motor that was put together by ford not some random technician... then choose what 6.0 machanic you want to bulletproof your truck. You get to choose who tears it apart rather than buying a truck someone else chose that. My personal opinion is I would take a stock 6.0 over a bulletproofed one anyday. As long as it has good head gaskets.

@@JUSTINHAWKSMITH thanks for the advice. That’s kind of what I was thinking too. I want to buy stock then do an egr delete and oil cooler just to be safe. Then really bulletproof later on down the road.

Your most expensive part of the bulletproof is the head gasket since it requires removal of heads and possible machining of the surface (on top of the cost of studs/gaskets etc). If you're mechanically inclined, doing the EGR/Oil Cooler/Coolant Filtration/Blue Spring is fairly easy. I'd get a quote from a reputable shop to see what would be a better value for you. Also keep in mind that there's a high chance that an already bulletproof truck has had a tuner run, so it might be in worse shape than the stock one.

@@MadLadCustoms thanks for the advice. I think I’m gonna go for the stock truck, and do an egr delete maybe an oil cooler and see how she holds up

If head gaskets are good & price is right & body is clean yeah. Do not buy without pressure testing cooling system

@@JUSTINHAWKSMITH appreciate the response just found out it’s an odometer rollback, super unfortunate it Acutally has 230k

CheckYourBuffer a lot of trucks with blown head gaskets will only push coolant under medium-heavy duty use or with a tune. Some will have blown head gaskets and won’t push coolant if they’re not blown bad enough and stock tune is in place.

Thanks for watching 💪🏻💪🏻

Rather have a truck then spend 300$ in one vist to the dentist , them dentist want those diesel trucks to 🤣
