I commented. A poorly maintained truck, probably an EGR cooler that split, the owner kept putting water in instead of coolant, and a salvage yard, or owner, who put in an open environment. Not the best example of a failed 6.0L, an example of what not to do.

Yes - pretty amazing how abused this thing was yet many parts were still functioning: lifters, crank, cam - and how about that oil pan?! Yuck! How long between oil changes, forever??
Edit: saw your comments Jack - spot on!

A fun project when you don't have to know anything, don't have to keep from damaging anything, don't have to keep track of anything, or work within the confines of the engine bay.
And speaking of the oil pan, it gives new meaning to the name tar-baby.

Big fan of the 6.0. I love my truck, yes I've had trouble over the year's but I have read and discussed enough over the years to learn how to maintain and fix whatever problems come my way. I have enough tools in my box to teardown and repair anything on my truck at any given time.
. I don't have alot of trouble with mine. Just did an oil cooler, but thanks to the monitoring apps i use the problem was diagnosed and delt with before Big Trouble. 6.0's are not for your every day truck owner. But they are workhorses if you know how to maintain them.

I enjoy that guys videos. He's pretty funny and you get to see how a large variety of engines are put together. You can tell he does them more for entertainment and to promote his business than trying to provide good solid technical info.
He's got a Duramax video where someone actually blew a hole thru the combustion chamber of the aluminum cylinder head. Likely WAY too much fuel but with his videos you typically don't get any background so it's all just guessing.
