HEAD BOLTS

If these head studs & FICM are a known issue on the 6.0L why hasn't there been some type of recall on this? i read these threads almost every day. It seems like everyone has a FICM issue and head studs run a close second. its crazy !!!

Don't forget the oil cooler that acts like a filter with the particulates/casting sand or the original fuel pressure regulator spring that looses pressure over time causing the pressure to drop below a safe pressure for the injectors. But just like the 7.3L (search the number of 6637 mods) the short comings have been addressed and taken care of.

Keep up with the PM and it shouldn't have any issues. You want to talk to someone with allot of miles on a 6.0L? Run6.0run has something like 475k miles on his...and still counting the miles. I remember he made the comment last summer that he changes the oil every couple of weeks, that's how fast he's getting to 5k miles.
