There is definitely a reason the prices are not as inflated in the 6.0’s lol

The nice thing about the 12v Cummins is the lack of wiring. As far as I know, if you have a manual transmission, a cable ran to manually actuate the fuel shutoff, and can roll start it, you can literally drive without any electrical input because everything is mechanical.

Love the 6.0 trucks, they are very underrated. The problem is you look at them wrong and the cab has to come off.

That Cummins would look hard with the aftermarket metal dash and race seats

6.0L powerstroke ford perform incredibly well once they have been built. They even perform pretty well stock as long as they are maintained and not tuned to unreasonable levels. They sound amazing

Making a kit to mount the batteries under the frame rail with a cable reroute kit, would go a long way to gain some real-estate under the hood.

It sounds like the ford was a pavement princess, plus it’s like 10 years newer, of course it’s going to look nicer.

All I want is a simple mechanical or common rail diesel engine with simple electronics that can tow good get good mpg and be reliable and made to be rebuilt

I'll stick with my afclive 5.9 12 valve with a new dash and replacement seats from genos. 300k miles and still pulling a 20k lb trailer.

All that and no regulated return? Haha love your stuff.

Where are you getting the $12k price for the 6.0? Everyone's asking 20k plus for their Fords these days. That's why I went with a 7.3 lol. I have a 500hp 7.3 lowered on air suspension and I have less money in it than a stock 6.0 goes for

Awesome job

Not taking the Cummins swap on them is crazy

I remember having a 6.0, and I’m not going back, truck cost more in parts in 30k miles as a service truck than all of the parts we’ve put into dodge service trucks combined. Broke so damned much

Ive had both and own both the 6.0 in my opinion is great for a good sleeper build maybe towing if built right they dont take much to make big power the only issue is the preventive maintenance work thats needed but yet again high hp you can throw reliability out the window now the cummins on the other hand has the tourqe great for towing it’s stupid simple and is more cost efficient than the powerstroke now i love both and wouldn’t trade either for anything although the 6.0 is in the garage at the moment with the heads off 👀 its gettinng some power thrown at it

It would of been nice to get more info on the parts that where put on the truck . I would of also liked to see before and after torque #'s.

I see them felpro head gaskets they are pretty good for these engines. I won’t put one back together without O rings if it’s gonna be tuned or ran hard.

600hp 6.0s are a lot of fun till you start eating torque converters and tranny's or the rod's start to walk! LOL

How to make a 6.0 last lower the hp get rid of all the egr stuff and put head studs in it and better exhaust.

my dad taught me if its cheap theres a reason

How did he get remote start on the 6.0?

Take the ford, remove boat anchor and insert Cummins. It’s a win win! The 6.0 is just one oil seal away from leaving you on the side of the road. The Cummins however will run on pretty much any oil and make 400+ hp doing it. They also last for just about ever as long as the kdp is addressed and the oil is changed.

Owned an 05 6.0 6spd and there’s a reason we have all 6.7 Cummins now

6.0 after 2005 should be rated around 375hp crank, 7.3 is 325hp crank in the last years.

Yep the 6.0 and 6.4 ford are a good deal for a Cummins swap👍

Just wait till that 25 cent dummy plug o-ring tears and leaves you stranded on a 15 percent uphill grade

So I have questions about cummins performance and mpg . Where can I ask them to get good responses? Don't want to get lost in a Ford dodge comparison. Thank you

Id take the 2nd gen any day

"I'm a Cummins guy" -drives a trailblazer!

They are good looking trucks, look comfortable, and they are the cheapest of the diesels. It does suck when you look at a clapped out beat up 2nd gen ram and it's like $10k. Only good thing is that would only take a few hundred dollars to get whereas the ford has to get the whole cab pulled and parts are so much more expensive. Also far more complex as you guys know. Hell, I've never looked at how hard just doing valve cover gaskets are on the 6.0, but they probably aren't as easy as vc gaskets should be.

Out of curiosity, what kind of power numbers would you get out of a Cummins if you installed a ported head, injectors, a manifold, big turbo and tuning? Could you make more than 500hp?

That’s a 18-25k dollar 6.0 in Tennessee

What size injectors and what size KC was this?

Do you recommend towing with 190/30 injectors paired with a kc stage 2 or would i be asking for trouble. Have a 6.0 with 155/30 and a stage 2. Its a little laggy and id love more power but need to pull my 5th wheel.

I spent 1 yr fixing up a 95 12v to sell. 200k miles. Body beat up and paint issues. Sold on eBay 4 times. Never got paid. So the first guy that showed up with cash got it. Not even 4k. 4wd

All u need to do on a 12v is what you did in your double hp video to the engine on a 6.0 like 6-8k$ for engine stuff which is crazy and still will blow head gaskets

OMG when he pulled the frame just to work on the engine......not practicle for your every day garage build. Cummins ALL THE WAY!

Did you guys put a new cam shaft in it

6.0 Ford upgrade commercial. lol

I turned down an 08 f250 4x4 with only 50,000 miles for $15,000. It was really nice but I was just too scared of the horror stories.

Not to be that guy, but ... 6.0l is 366 cubic inches. "Big Blocks," are usually considered "Big Blocks" when they're over 400 cubic inches. 454 guys laugh at 6.0l LS guy's. The 7.3l? That's a Big Block 444/445 cubic inches. the 6.o? that's what I'd call a "Small Block Killer," curtesy of theCraig909 on KZfaq.

Here from fsm garage

Damn, 10 grand to make 200 more hp that’s terrible lmao

I got a 6.0 12 grand plus antther 12 to make it reliable 😅😅

There is a reason the 6.0s are cheaper lol

Great content!!! Kinda unfair to compare the powerstoke on the dyno even on street tires. Easily a $30,000+ Cummins build vs $10,000 in mild upgrades on the 6.0. Also unfair to compare a 1994 second gen vs a babied, washed weekly, 2006 with probably half the miles on their body condition and interior. Good pot stirring technique though. Again great content nonetheless

That ford cost more then the Dodge in my area.

It’s definitely easier to find a nice Ford truck vs a Ram. And a 6 liter especially, since everyone’s so dang paranoid about them, haha. But if you know what you’re doing, they’re terrific engines.

it was deassed two times a week , found on road dead ,come on there is nothing like a chevy, or a guy mans chevy , gmc

Take off the cab to work on the engine, shoulda swapped for the cummins

Serious question, how much would it cost to make the same power in a 12v as opposed to a 6.0? I had a 6.0 and I spent about $20 grand (with labor) and ended up with 500hp and 900ftlbs at the wheels. And had nothing but problems with the truck. Warren Injection is a absolute HORRIBLE company to work with. They guaranteed there was nothing wrong with my injectors, (sent them back 3x) and I literally spent thousands changing other parts to find a high pressure leak in the o rings. (Hot no start) Just seems like for the amount of money you could do a cummins swap and have something more reliable for less money.

Cummins " mumumumumumum. Power stroke rahrahrahrahrah. Detroit 6.5 clakclakclingclongclakclak I just bought a 2000 k3500 with Detroit. I live in the salt belt, so it was, Cummins, F250 or GM. Truck only has 122000km. 75000 miles.

Ford cost more then the dodge in my state

im a second gen ram guy typically but have been starting to lean towards this era of ferd. a few friends have them. the actual truck is pretty good. better dana 60, its a king pin design without stupid unit bearings and a lame vacuum center axle disconnect, they almost always have less rust, the electronics usually last better, can get 1 ton single rear wheel vs second gen ram 1 tons all dually, less leaks, the HVAC system is better, interior better appointed and more comfortable. the only thing id change is the powertrain. not because the 6.0 is an unreliable piece of shit impossible to work on, but i flat out hate the sound of them and 6.4s. im also a little old school where i actually like 12 valves and having to tune them manually. they can make tons of power and in the process you end up knowing the engine back to front. 12 valves are the easiest diesel engines to work on, no need to have to delete a stupid egr or def system either. just spend 1k on a 62 to 66mm turbo, 600 on some injectors, 400 on studs, google all the free injector pump/afc stuff to turn up the fuel, add timing, gov springs are under 100 bucks, valve springs and seals are 200 bucks, couple fresh fuel lines with banjo delete for AN fittings, chuck a chevy small block valve spring in the stock lift pump, basically 2500 bucks and a weekend and you can be over 500hp and more importantly, around 1000lbft of torque. reliably. not 200k miles reliable, like 500k miles.

The only thing good in a dodge is the thing that wasnt made by dodge 😂

Your talking a 90s truck vs a mid 00s like cmon now

2000tq? That has to be wrong lol

10 years newer and babied any truck would look like that that old dodge seen alot more hard miles

The 6.4 is the truck no one wants. The 6.0's are starting to get known about.

The fords nice but only dodge for me I’d never own one I’m a mechanic and I work on way more Ford pickups then dodges. Ford gives u no room to work and the way they stuff and hid things is unbelievable !!! It is not funny one bit

Buyer beware. You say you're working on a compound kit for the 6.0 Ford. And you are giving away a compound kit in this months giveaway. I bought and paid for a compound kit during Thanksgiving 2022. I am still waiting for it. How about you guys get off your collective tails and ship me the compound kit you owe me. It has been 10 months since I ordered my kit. You guys got all of the money for it. All I have received are broken promises. I was told 2 Thursdays ago it was going to ship on Monday or Tuesday. I still don't have it. Hey Todd and Wille are you guys aware of this. I have done a lot of business with you over the years. I used to like you guys. The bad company reviews are coming until I get my compound kit. Buyer beware.

I’d still take my clapped 2g all day over a 6.0

To me ford's are cheaper cause the powerstrokes can't compete with a cummins when it actually comes to work.... I'm no diesel mekanik but after driving both for work the cummins eats the powerstroke alive

The 6.0 is not a big block

Duramax is better than the 6.0 for hot rodding in my opinion

Hahaha it is after all a ford

why a KC turbo? Titan Turbos out perform in every way

Found on Russian Dump! My 12 Ram Cummins will dance circles around tbat ford. Never had a dead battery, always started I always take care of my vehicles! My interior looks better than that fOrD , if you yank a Ram out of the Crusher just before they push the button its going to look like crap!

Is the goal of this video to get people upset.. the worst sounding diesel ever made. lol

Hahaha 6.0 is a joke engine. If you want to be left on the side of the road it’s a great buy.

ANSWER: 6.7 CUMMINS

But its a Ferd!

The 6.0 is pretty much the worst engine ever make!
