READ FIRST 6.0L Diesel...............Tech Folder................ post in this forum. Pretty much anything you need to know.

I was broke down in podunk MISS and the truck wouldn't start. After the local diesel shop replaced the cam sensor and it still wouldn't start. I asked to look at the codes and told them it was the FICM. Luckily they had a 05-06 there that had oil cooler issuses and pulled it and replaced mine with it. Started right up and hasn't missed a bet so far KNOCK ON WOOD!
