What am I doing wrong
I just don't understand what I am doing wrong. I change my oil "5w40" every 5k miles. I change my fuel filters every 15k miles. I change my external tran filter every 25k miles. Air filter about the same. Really thats about it and this pos 6.0 just wont break down like everyone says it should. I'm stumped. Maybe I should quit changing oil every 5k and maybe do it at 10k or even 15k and use some cheap 15w40 with aftermarket oil filters. Change my fuel filter every 30k or 40k miles. Think that would help? Oh maybe put green coolant in there too. Yea that should do it the pos.

Stack chips and tuners with your green coolant,get you a dorman cooler,and post up when it lets go. Make sure your degas cap is no good so you can boil the green stuff to.Be sure to whine and question where you went wrong because you wanted to roll coal and look cool;-)

I am very disappointed in all these 6.0's I have had. None have lived up to that bad reputation. I really must be doing something wrong. They are all good and strong and sound great. Really let down.

Man I have had all kinds of breakdowns on my trucks. Ball joints, tie rods, every u joint, Transmission, carrier bearing and now the bearings in my axle are screaming. But I have zero issues with the motor! So saturday I'm doing a rear axle swap with a used one I found with 40k on it for $150.
