Head gaskets and turbos are the main issues. The CPS (crank position sensor) on the 7.3s has been dealt with. Not even an issue anymore. For some reason, even though I modified a bunch on the motor, the tranny is still alive. I did add a manual torque converter lock up to it though. |

My brother is a Ford Tech and all he works on pretty much are 6.0 diesels. He and I and all of our friends drive 7.3's for a reason, he likes the 02 7.3's the best. If you are going to buy a 6.0 his advice is to get a '05 or newer. Pretty much his advice he gives everyone who is shopping for a used superduty. |
| The Weazle:
With all of these years/models/engines to look out for in a ford, just buy a Chevy or a Dodge, and ditch (literally) the Ford. The name Ford cant mean that much to you, can it. I have a 01 duramax and an 08 and both are sweet rigs with no problems. The only thing ever recalled was the tailgate straps... |
| WDFW Hates ME!!!:
I think my issue with the new 6 litres is that the torque and HP curve had changed for the worse. The 7.3 had all the power at 1600-1800 rpm's. The 6 litre is at 2000 or so, so now it feels like it is rapped out when you are driving it. That is why i bought a dodge, i wish i could put my cummins in a 4 door ford. |

There have just been too many issues with the 6.0L. :twocents: --- End quote --- --- Quote from: jeepasaurusrex on March 07, 2009, 11:50:28 AM ---Head gaskets and turbos are the main issues.
