That's funny. We've been telling people this allllll along but some people refuse to listen. The FTE community has a HUGE amount of knowledge and experience to draw from and we try to give the best advice possible from PRACTICAL experience not from a desire to make money!!!

In no way am I taking up for Bill, but when I researched the 6.0 after mine needed egr and oil coolers last year. Bills videos on youtube was some of the first things I found away from FTE. In those videos he sais pretty much what folks on FTE and other forums and sites said. Granted he said some stuff I thought was moronic but his facts seemed to be intact. I've read people attack his statement about water getting into the crank and causeing failure then totally agree when someone else say an egr cooler leaks coolant into the cyclender and it gers past the rings and to the crank and cause failure. What gives? I mean I'm not saying buy his stuff or take what he says as gosple but is there a thread that separates the truth from the false? How is it wrong if one man says it but right if another says it? Again I'm not defending I'm just trying to find facts about my truck. There's to much bs going around as it is. Someone point me in the direction of some good resources and ill do the thread myself. This is getting to be a crock of bs, when you think you came across some info then some where else its rebuted. Is it egos or something. I just want to understand my engine and arm myself to get as much service out of it as I can. Is this to much to ask?

exiled,
You have many valid points. It isn't an exact science for sure. There are LOTS of things on 6.0's that are the same fixes time after time after time. Then you run into one that absolutely throws the whole 6.0 bible into the fire and everyone just goes crazy. It is sometimes hard to know what is right and what is wrong until you actually come to know the "personality" of your own personal vehicle. I wish I had all the answers to your questions but I don't. I do know that all the differences in opinions and the right to express those opinions are what makes this forum and our country great. Keep on reading, studying and asking questions. That's the only way to know for sure.

That is comforting. Talk on the street is that 6.0 is taking them somewhere in a handbasket.
