I have seen bullet proofed 6.0s that have made it to 500k. I used to work on a fleet of ambulances that were all 6.0 amd they all had 300k plus on them and they ran great hardly any engine issues becides maintenance.

@@M_A_R_I_N_E785 The 6.4 is hands down the worst engine intertrashinal put in a ford truck. Idk what they were doing it just got worse and worse after the 7.3 until ford pulled the plug and made their own engine. The 6.7 is great, minus the DEF system but those are garbage on any truck tho.

The later gens were considerably better. If you can find one thats bullet proofed they really are great trucks.

@@koriyagayhave you tried finding a 7.3 in this economy ?

_Rip Bill Hewitt.._

You can even throw a bulletproofdiesel EGR on it that doesn’t rupture. Honestly one of the most fun diesel engines of our time. Nothing beats that scream

This is a ignorant comment. I know plenty about them. I helped build mine. I had a 05. Some people get luckily, but I would not touch one, unless it was crazy cheap. My 6.0 is the only truck, that left me on the side of the road twice. That’s after doing a fully bullet proof on it.

My statement still stands.

@@mikehaslett3738 Do you own one?

Of course I do. Mines in my service truck. Weighs 18k lbs. engine has 13k hours on it, 430,000kms. These engines are not hard to work with. Thankfully they are built really well with the exception of a few small items. Pretty easy to put them together properly. Especially nowadays where ford re engineered a lot of parts. And of course the aftermarket. I’ve had to do far more 6.7, 6.4 and 7.3 engine swaps due to catastrophic failure than any 6.0. Actually, the only 6.0s I’ve seen actually fail to the point of engine replacement was from two main reasons, one, having the stock length pushrods be used with a larger cam after the heads were machines, which bottomed out the lifters and smashed the cam lobes. And the second one was just pure abuse. Nitrous and a massive amount of fuel.

@@mikehaslett3738 That does not make any sense. I am very familiar with these engines. The main failures were do to coolant issues, and the emissions system. The egr system was a bad design. The headstuds did have issues, but that was more to do with people tuning them, and adding power. Interesting, are you not in the United States?

Sure it did. If you had a hole in the fuel take and idle all day.

6-9mpg with a utility body. Ain't nothing to argue it's facts. That's the miles per gallon of diesel for the 6.0 2005 stock with a mechanics utility body. Got rid of that paper weight... Just heard the VGT is stuck on the new turbo... Not my problem!

mine gets 16???

To much money? I can rebuild a 6.0 cheaper than I can put injectors in a Cummins or Duramax. If you don't know how to cure a 6.0 at this point in time....you need to stop playing mechanic, and take your sh** to a real diesel guy

@@VAHOSS nope. 6.blows are the worst diesel engine ever produced and you just need to stfu and quit being a dick 🙂

Trying to find what problems haven't most people already figured out the problem for this and learn to bullet proof the motor?

@@master6435 why bulletproof the motor when you can buy a 7.3?

@@biggus_dickkus really?

Cant* not can

Keep drinking the coolade

Why

@@tadeogonzalez8244 I wouldn't say never buy it, just don't pay a premium for it. A low milage diesel that old will need a bunch of maintenance soon.

I’ll buy if for the right price

I have a 06 6.0 with around 215k miles bone stock except for the egr cooler being removed and it straight piped. It's amazing. Had to replace the hpop last year right after I bought it and after that never had and major problem with it.

​@@washinefarmssounds familiar. Closing in on 200k and not a single problem with the EGR cooler yarded. No studs, big tunes, religious maintenance. Best truck I've had. Even better than the 03 7.3 I also have.

_Same here 07 f250 & no payments is a blessing also they just look nice._

You can "bulletproof" it and it'll still die in 100k miles

My dad got a 6.0 when I was 8 years old, he put a 12inch lift and 46inch tires and 5inch straight pipe, I’m 20 now he still drives it when he needs to. Kept up with all the fluids and filters, it does need 3 glow plugs but she’s got 250k which isn’t much for a diesel but for a stock 6.0 it’s good. Had to fix the size of truck, bc it’s bigger than bobs, it’s stock and still runs better. You suck bob for lying Oh yea it’s a 12-18 inch lift, on 46inch boggers. Stock motor, 5inch pipe, gets 13 mpg, weighs 12,000lbs without me but I’m not fat I’m pure muscle. I’ll beat bob any day. This 6.0 beats any 6.0 stock for stock loser. It’s bigger and better

The nice ones are going for HUGE money.. Govdeals is now a total clown show where 20 year old trucks are selling for MSRP.

@@Thekidsinafrica14 bringing any diesel vehicle to a mechanic for any kind of maintenance whether it be transmission flush, coolant flush, oil change, new tires, brake jobs, it’s going to cost thousands to maintain.

​@@EliAlexanderClark as someone who bought a 6.0 because they sound good, I can confirm they are a piece of shit whether you take care of them or not

@@vinyl_2784 your 6.0 is a piece of shit. You bought yours because it sounds good. I bought mine because my scangauge didn’t show any codes, the coolant and oil temperatures we’re great and it drives very well. Any 15-20 year old diesel will give you hell. 6.0 engines are great for light ORV, campers and moderate towing. Not drag racing.

Doesn’t make any sense. They blow head gaskets when the oil cooler clogs and they only used 10 bolts per head. Also the egr clogs can cause overheating and blown head gaskets.

You have no idea what your talking about. Heat problems came from the EGR and oil cooler. The coolant went through both of those before it entered the water jackets. The coolant was already heat soaked before it entered the engine. The water pump impeller was plastic, too. In time it would break and water flow slowed down.

Own an 04 6.0 bone stock 330k not a single issue🤷‍♂️

@@brandonneil8954 people like to build their 6.0s to push a lot of hp so bulletproofing is needed

Bulletproof is not gonna do anything 💀

We had one, 8000 lb aluminum stock and that POS would not tow it to your life. We damn near the truck. It went shop we put a rebuild into thinking it’d fine after that. 👎 nope, traded it 2013 6.7 Cummins. It’s a better truck, even with an automatic transmission in a dodge! Never again, i won’t make the same mistake twice

Why not just pay for something that can take the abuse instead of wasting money? Is the 6.0 really worth it?

Slow modded or unmodded, unreliable modded or unmodded. Might as well

They'll blow wout any work. Everything about them comes apart.

Says more about you than the 6.0

@@Hettdizzle that it does. The last 6.0l I have, parked it for about a month, now it won't start, batterys good, everything else checks out, I would just pull it in my garage and fix the damn thing, but I'm to busy on the road making money with my 6 7s that don't leave my sitting along side the road with injector problems, ficm, cam sensors, crank sensors, flex plate, head gaskets etc. I'll get the pos running one of these days when I actually have time, until then its just a eye sore in my yard 🤬

They sound so good tho, I heard the 05-07 aren't so bad

Looks more like you need to learn how to be a mechanic if it sits that long. Jus saying.. Remove egr and cooler and put in new oil cooler and hpop and studs....get 4 or 5 inch exhaust and that beast runs forever. Dont tune it. Thats why most everyone's blow. They try for 450hp and push it too hard.... But hard not to when it pulls like a champ. 💯

@@leroijr407 its more job dependent, I've had 3 6.0s, 2 were tuned, ones still stock, the one I still own is stock. Quite frankly yes I should have learned the first time and never bought more than the one. So for some context i was using the trucks for hot shot trucking, started with a 32ft gooseneck stock the 6.0 was a absolute dog, even tuned they are pathetically under torqued, after about 3 years needless to say the tuned 6.0s gave the most problems, head gaskets, injectors, electrical problems, ect. The stock had the least problems, but is horribly underpowered. Combined I've probably had most every problem with the 6.0 that there is. So when I went to a 40ft gooseneck, I also went to a 1st gen 6.7 ps and never looked back, the 6.7 still wasn't a overly torquey engine but always worked, now I have 2 3rd gen 6.7s with over 100k pulling a 40ft gooseneck since new, and no issues, definitely have better torque than the 1st gen powerstroke, great engines. But the kicker is my buddy has a 2004 cummins, stock the thing had so much more torque than the 6.0ls, now he's pushing 500hp with a built trans, tows with it every day and no issues at all! If I wasn't such a ford fanatic back then I could have saved myself thousands by just buying a fricken cummins! All in all the 6.0 isn't trash, but its not for anyone who's actually serious about working, towing a 22ft camper once a month and daily driving most of its life it'll be fine, but for serious towing buy a 6.7 ps, or cummins!

No you don't that's just what the mechanics like to do.... You can do all repairs under the hood. Just setting up a stand with some pads to lay on and you can pull valve covers, injectors, intake, turbo and heads. It takes so long to do the stuff anyway with a lift mechanics just pull cab to save 2-4 hours doing a overhaul.

Any new truck you have to take the can off to fix by the way why do people think it’s such a big deal I can have a cab off in 3 hrs

Yeah these are extremely common for blowing head gaskets

They have problems with the EGR and most people need to send them to get “bulletproof” for them to run properly
