First diesel!!!
Hey yall! Im mathew and i live in northern ontario canada, im lookin at my first diesel truck purchase. 2005 ford f-350 6.0L. Its got 150 000 km on it, 93000 miles. Ill post a few pictures when i can, i have a few questions for yall though. I know about the cylinder head gasket/head bolt issues. I know about the egr issues. What other common problems do these trucks have? I can take care of the head bolts and replace with arp studs no issue, i can do an egr delete kit no issue...anything else?...im an ex military mechanic and currently workin as an apprentice mrchanic...thanks for any help guys!

first diesel
welcome to the diesel world, i work in the truck shop at Ford in Niagara falls, and got some reccomendations for you, definately get an sct tuner and nothing else, reason why is that sct only tunes fords and it actually rewrite its program, not modifying a signal to trick the engine to do it. next is the obvious updates to engine like the fuel pressure regulator, dummy plugs 12mm, make sure it has the updated stc fitting on the pump. you should be able to see a tab cut off under the egr cooler clamp, that will indicate the cover has been removed, and usually the fitting is installed. if you need help getting warranty history i can help you since i have full access to inford. and can help you acquire tuner, deletes, exhaust. i just put my first diesel together for myself also, back in february. good luck and look forward to reply.
