I just bought a 2006 Ford 6.0 diesel, E 350, 5 speed automatic van. I'm told that a 6.0 diesel in a F series pickup has 325 H.P. but in my van it's only 235 H.P.. Can anyone tell me why or what the difference actually is and how I can get this engine up to the 325 H.P. measure. What did Ford do to de tune this engine and why? Thanks, Tom.

 

Are you for real ? EVERBODY knows the 6.0 issues.....BulletProofDiesel - Darn-Near Bullet Proof Diesel Products for your 6.0 and 6.4

 

And to answer your question you need at least 3 K in Parts.....to make it reliable.....
EGR Delete / Coolant filter ...ARP Studs .....FICM.......Bigger Injectors.....4-5 " exhaust no CAT.... Tuning .....The "good " Turbo ( Non VV around 2k just for unit).....SO.... 5 K to make it fly....and not grenade.....It never ends........
