Well that sucks....
The only time my '05 saw a flatbed was when I had it towed to PSE for the engine work. I figured I already drove 700 miles home with a leaking EGR cooler and clogged oil cooler, I didn't want to push my luck and have it hydrolock on me.
SO what happened?

Not sure, went into limp mode leaving the house. Went to ruff idle and then cut off. I know it needs an oil cooler so I havent been driving it. I was actually taking it to a friend who was going to buy it because he works on 6.0s and I was selling it cheap. The flatbed was actually bringing it back to my house so I can try to figure out what is going on. I suspect it is FICM related.

In the past I would have agreed, however learning what I have and how relatively simple (but tedious) the 6.0 fixes are... Next one I get is going to have the 6.0. Considering what I have planned for it and how all my vehicles end up making at least double the original power figures, the 6.0 is better suited transmission-wise.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my 7.3, but if I had put the same amount of time and money into a 6.0.... wooooo buddy that thing'd be damn quick!

You did Razzi, but since Matt is power happy and understands the repairs I don't think it's a hard sell.

Btw, if you didn't see one of my posts in another thread. It's turbo time for me and I'll be one step closer to being as cool as you. Well....my truck being as almost as cool as yours.

That was back in 2010 I believe, and that's when the 6.0 started getting hooked on my brain.
