Kinda cool

Since I've had this 6.0 it's amazing how you can tell when another truck has a 6.0 in it. Was at the store today and while I was walking in I heard that distinctive sound. I knew what it was--don't know about anybody else but I think it's pretty darn cool

I had a guy the other day tell me that I was full of crap when I told a truck had a 7.3 in it. Each engine has its owns distinct noise. I can tell you which truck has a Cummins 5.9 or 6.7, duramax, 7.3 psd, 7.3 idi, 6.0 or a 6.4. I have had 5.4 tritons that make more noise than the 6.7, too quiet.

You can count me in here too. That unmistakable 6.0L! I love that calm assurance of the idling 6.0L V8 Power Stroke Turbo Diesel. Especially the 2003/2004.

Yep the first time I heard a 6.7 I had to do a double take to make sure my eyes and ears were in sync lol. Way too quiet
