saw this on another site:
I have a 2004 6.0. Back history. I bought the truck in 05 done the egr delete 5inch turbo back exhaust in 05 when the truck had 34k on it. Then in 2014 I done the blue spring an 4 new injectors. Had been running an edge turner the hole time. Now I recently had an oil leak which was my oil cooler changed it out so while it was down I did the ficm icp sensor an cable as well as the map an back pressure. Noticed while turbo was off it needed a cleaning. So do e that to. Put it back to gather an went to pull a load an it would pull it would not boots up an the rpm would not even come up. Had to get a push form a mini x to get going. Once the truck start rolling it will boots up an pull but it still does it slowly. So called a mechanic who does just ford he said it's the turbo or the vgt so I ordered a new powermax an installed it. An once again it spools up a little be but still not if it's under a heavy load even if I put it in 4wd. So next I ordered an installed a h&s mini max I know it's not the best for the 6.0 but I'm planning on buying a 6.7 in Jan an wanted something that I could change over to it without buying anything new. It does pull better since I installed the mini max I pulled several loads this so with it. While backing up with one of the loads it went back to its old way an would not rev up at all an I could move there was no power I went to 4wd high low rev drive an nothing it would not move. Then all at once it like someone flipped a switch it just boosted up a started back up like nothing was wrong. I've noticed that even when driving that It will be at 2500 rpm an in booting at 7 with throttle potion at 34. I'm going to change the transmission fluid an filter. Any help would be appreciated

Was thinking of a 5.9 Cummins build hooked onto my 4r100 transmission in my 2000 Excursion V10 4x4. I am a horsepower nut though so want to build something outrageous like 1000hp. But then thought about how much that might cost compared to something less but still substantial. Maybe 700-800hp would do the trick for a daily driver and pulling a trailer around or boat every once and a while? I'm not planning on sled pulls or competitions, but may do a 1/4 mile here and there. So I know I would need to rebuild the trans to beef it up and a 6.0 cooler. Wondering what the axles are rated at for hp? And the 4wd gearbox?
I bet Steve would have some sage, drag racing advice.

Not too bad, but took me a couple mins to decifer it all; tent threw me.
This guy has been quiet this month?
if it got clean coolant and your not rollincoal with a v10 gas an even oil dont got coolant or foam id see that as a very good thing and means just a blown hose or fitting somewhere if you still got those horrible stock clamps that you need a grip to remove those tent to snap in half and the hose pops off had it happen countless times over several vehicles

This isnt a post, but it still makes me say wth.
The other pics show a blurred out of state license plate. His phone number is from out of state.
I asked him how he came up with 300hp out of a 400. He couldnt answer.
Yes, I am THAT guy. I feel compelled to respond to these ads, lol.
I am curious, if when people move here, they don't know their vehicle won't pass emmissions? Or they know but they think they can get around it? I want to know. It sucks either way, because California screws a perfectly nice truck.
Sometimes I send them the link to the appropriate forum, because maybe someone that doesnt live in California would like to get a chance at buying it.
Anyway, wth...

Lol, Numberdummy, I don't know how you do it, you are a Saint. I don't think there is a question that has been asked this year, that hasn't been asked a hundred times already and you always help anyway.
