May I tap inot some of the opinions and brainpower available here. I have done a good deal of 6.0 work in my shop and am considering stocking complete Powerstroke engines as an exchange program.

What are the biggest, baddest downsides to consider in a venture like this? -- Why haven;t you done it?

What is the consumers main frustration in this field?

More specific -- what should be standard upgrades on this engines?

I am not looking to court the performance consumer as much as the Jon Doe who has run into catastrophic trouble with his weekend truck and just needs a standard but good running, high-quality engine.

With that in mind what are some good aftermarket parts (pistons etc) vendors that would reduce rebuild cost but not compromise and hopefully improve quality?

Thanks in advance!

 

I believe you will find all the info your looking for at powerstrokehelp.com

 

Shameless plug?

Just don't watch those videos if you have a handgun nearby, you'll want to kill yourself by about 30 seconds in.

 

Now don't get me wrong not defending powerstrokehelp.com but after buying my 6.0 he was the first site I found and he was informative as well as entertaining but I was not interested in paying and he did alert me to the problems associated with the 6.0 and that concern is what led me to this forum which I have found to be the best information available from the best techs and just plain knowledgable people around...Thanks again to all of you.
