...If you are so used to the valve pinging that when it stops you worry something is REALLY WRONG!.....Oh, crap, no wait...thats the 6.0L gas engine in the Chevy 2500HD I drive at work.
You know you own a 6.0l when:
your father in-law who has been pulling wrenches for nearly 50 years & never backs down from a challenge- took 1 look under my hood & said, "you're on your own"
This was in response to his not understanding why we couldn't just change my head gaskets over a couple evening sessions.
His final thought on the subject, "Why the hell did they put the engine under the dash?"
This from a man who owns a 03 Cummins that regularly gets 30% better mpgs than I do & he's an old lead foot.
LOL...My father in law is a mechanic and said the same thing when I got my 6.0. He being a Ford man him self broke a piston in his F350 and replaced the engine with a Cummins.
If your wife knows more about her truck and the parts that have been replaced or repaired than the husband, cause he's having to work to pay for the repairs... you may own a 6.0L
If you pick up lumber and the guy helping to load it up says "damn that thing is sucking some air isn't it?!"...you may own a straight piped 6.0
When one of your friends just dropped 5K on a cab off job (head studs, egr delete, the works), sighs and tells you "well I forgot to pick some ford gold and Ford was closed so went to advance and put cheap coolant in, yeah not good right Dave?" and I look at him as if he had three heads...you might be an avid reader on FTE
When another friend drops 12K in tires, wheels, lift, exhaust, ram air hood, "chip" and neglected to get a $160 scangauge and whines that his 6.0 hydrolocked ...you might be a "sorry" 6.0 owner
