There have been a lot of new 6.0L owners posting lately, so I thought I would re-post this.
First - read the Tech Folder to begin learning, but after that ..............
I have accumulated quite a bit of information and a TON of links in two Excel spreadsheets. Much of the info is from this site, but there are many other sites that offer great info as well. I have included links to posts and other web sites on 50+ topics.
One spreadsheet is on general knowledge, troubleshooting, tech and service manuals, and general maintenance. The other is on available mods (thanks to Tex2505 on this one).
The spreadsheets are available to anyone who wants to send me a PM w/ their email address.
Almost all the information is backed up with links to threads that discuss the topic - so there will be references to the information. The information really isn't from me, it is from posts and threads from many techs and various well-respected members of the various Forums. The spreadseets are indexed and hyperlinked by topic to make it easy to find what you need.
Due to sites like these, I keep making them better every week.
Send me the PM if you are interested.

Sarge
I think I have lost it again.. After I turned 50 I think half of my brain retired early.
The email I gave you was part my work and part my home email (boy)
Could you please sent this to n5sfv@hughes.net
My home email :-)
Sorry, and thanks again in advance.
If you ever get to Spiro Oklahoma, the Drinks are on me!!
