Matt:

Always enjoyed your participation here! We allow non-6.7L members to chime in and continue to have a laugh or two here. Stay informed on the latest and greatest. There are a few Fiat owners that stay close and are never mocked, belittled, or made fun of for owning a foreign vehicle. Good luck with the new ride.

bruce...

 

We even have a pet name for them........ Trolls! LOL

 

No, we are never made fun of...ever.

 

No one is exempt from the kidding, 6.7 owner, or not.
A great group of folks to hang out with!

 

Yeah I am definitely going to miss the 6.7 crowd for sure, but it sounds like there is a great bunch of good folks over in the 6.0 section as well. As far as deleting, for me it was the fuel mileage and knowing that what I did was better for engine longevity. As per the warranty remaining, it really depends on who your dealer is. If you delete your truck and your window motor goes out, how was that really caused by tuning it? As per Powertrain items, it really depends again, most techs either delete trucks themselves for customers on the side, or are up to date on all the mods so they know what causes something and what doesnt. For me personally I had great relationships with the Master Tech because I was always honest and never tried to get them to fix stuff that I broke under warranty.

I think the majority of the 6.0s out there for the most part have either had the original bad parts replaced or have been bulletproofed. The particular one I picked up has already been bulletproofed and is just a great running truck. Very easy to work on, and Insurance is cheaper on it as well. I will still stick around and pop in from time to time, and give advice when needed. Thank you all for the wishes

 

My error - I forgot about how easy the EGR fell of the 6.0s... Even if all you did was block them off it didn't disable the truck...

Have fun sounding like a 747 at takeoff Matt. I do like the sound of the 6.0s...

 

You can't just come in here and announce this kind of stuff without posting pictures of your new ride!

 

Didn't you lose your power train warranty when you did the delete? I think you've been without a warranty for a lot longer than you think.

 

My 07 6.0 has been the best truck Ive ever owned.In 13 I looked at 6.7's but decided to wait a bit and now Ive decided to not let this 6.0 go anytime soon.I put my family in it and drive across country with no worries. It does everything I ask and more!BTW,Welcome to the 6.0 family!

 

This isn't true. I had a radiator, PS pump and steering gear box (with 35's and a lift), front seal, and oil pan replaced under warranty after delete. It depends on the dealer and results vary.

 

I have never been out of warranty and still am not. Like I said, it depends on the the dealer and how you handle the situation. I had my water pump replaced under warranty when I was deleted no problem. As for pictures of my new truck, here she is!!

 

A handshaker too!

 

Yeah, I'm jealous. I'm one of the rare guys that would buy a manual transmission if it were available. If I got a new ram I would have to test drive it because while the manual is available, the power level is dropped significantly. If the economy and power level match up I'd get one though.

 

You can fix that derated power and only use it when you need it with a tune, but you know that. I also know deleting has different challenges for you and your business than the rest of us. If you were ok to run deleted, you would definitely have the best of both worlds. You are one of the few people that could have the discipline to not stomp on it all the time. That's the biggest problem with mileage on tuned trucks. It's not that they can't make better mileage. It's that it's too fun to drive 'em hard.

 

I'm not scared of the 6.0s any longer either Matt, even thought I don't own one. I would! I like seeing pics of older trucks. I just helped my work partner's daughter buy an '07 CC 6.0 LB 4x4 with 107k on the clock. Love it!
I also love seeing Silver Bullets on the sidelines as ANY truck is being worked on!
