78Fordman, I dont know if I have enugh space to list all the repairs. Shortlist - injectors 6 times, wiring harness, and this is after the new engine.'
Chev diesels were also garbage, and may well still be. The 6.5 is gutless and had a lot of problems. With a new engine and 6 new injectors, and a new wiring harness, the truck will not move unless you idle it for at least 30mins. Anyone want to come fix it ????

You are far from alone in waiting for things to be worked out.

That being said the majority of these trucks have had few problems.

A blanket statement about the new engine based on one, a few or even more than a few specimens is not logical and is askin' for trouble here.

I don't think all of the foul language is necessary.

Well its more than a freak thing. I talk to hundreds of people with trucks and lots of truck dealers. There seems to be far greater portion of people having problems with the Ford than anything. Ive been hearing about problems with the Duramax, but nothing like the 6.0 Ford. Mabye Dodge will go and ruin their repuation with a garbage engine this time around too. Anbody know when Toyota is releasing a full size truck ???

Okay. This stops now.

No name calling. No calling people idiots, no calling people stupid, no profanity to get caught by the filters, etc..... got it?

To "Ford Quality ?? HAHAHA":
Starting off with a user name like that is certainly not going to win anyone over (putting a stick in a beehive is sure to get you stung). There has been a lot of honest, open and frank discussion about the 6.0L problems here. I suggest you handle this is a better way here and you're sure to get help, not harrassment. First thing I suggest is contacting us via the contact link at the bottom of the page and asking for a user name change. Second, try again, this time asking for advice or help, instead of coming off as pissed off to a bunch of strangers.

To the respondants:
The guy is understandably upset. Wouldn't you be if you had problems after forking over 10s of thousands of dollars only to end up with problems? Give him a break and don't take it upon yourselves to beat someone up for ending up with a problem truck. Such reactions simply cause flame wars which spiral out of control, as evidenced in this thread.

To both sides: Keep it civil and stop the name calling.

Thread locked. Perhaps everyone can start over in a more respectable manner.
