What should I be looking for when buying a 6.0??
So I'm probably gonna buy a 6.0 soon and I'm wondering what I need to check before buying one. I've done a lot of research and I'm only gonna buy one that has been studded and preferably fully "bulletproof" with studs, oil cooler, coolant filter, injectors, turbo,etc. I know to check for blowby and check the engine oil and coolant temp with a scanner. Also to check the degas container for pressure/leakage(How much pressure is ok? I don't own a gauge yet so is there a way to check them without a gauge??) But what else should I loo for? Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated! I don't want to make a costly mistake! THANKS!!!

Thanks! I will definitely read that!! One questions do have is how much pressure is ok in the degas tank? I looked at a studded 07 Harley Davidson (super nice truck!) yesterday and after driving it for about 20 I loosened the degas cap and it hissed for about 20-25 seconds. Is this normal?
