Tim My truck was built on 03/03.
No major or should I say chronic/constant problems. I have had a couple of episodes with what they call dead pedal. Idle sometime becomes erratic while in park. My dealer has told me that the only way to fix these problems will be to have the latest flash.
Thanks
Lance

I purchased my truck in March and the assembly was during the 3rd week of Feb so the build of the motor was sometime before that.
The truck has 17,500 miles on it and the oil level has remained constant and the truck runs fine on the Oct. Flash and ran fine before the April Flash.
I'll be bringing it in for the recall to have the Dec. Flash / emissions thingy done and hopefully it will continue to perform fine.

Important update to instructions on page 6, 17 posts down from the top of page.
ODOMETER reading at time of problem is critical.
In addition, please read more instructions, bottom of first page, posted by Tim L
Tell as many as you can about this thread.
The simpler the writing (posting) of “problem/odometer” reading………….the easier it will be to collate. Do not need many words. I must reduce all the date into a usable format; extra words will take more time to complete.

Just was mor common with the early build 6.0. Course the internet is more common now as well, so might just be we are hearing more now than in 98, or 95......

I may need some help. Actually Lariat it should have said 03/15/03 for my engine build date. Sorry.

So far looks like 29,000 miles on Six Liter Fan's truck is best yet. I bet there is one out there with c94s with over a 150,000 miles on it. I hope!! Probably the first one off the assembly line and owner has never heard of this forum.

Being one of the higher milage 6.0 thought I would add some of my data...
As of my last tank of fuel on 1/5/2004...
Total miles 28138.2
Total Gallons of Fuel used- 1769.79
Total $$ of Fuel used- $2,940.84
Average $/Gal- 1.6513
MPG- 15.899
$ (Fuel Only)/Mile- $.105
$ (Maint Only)/Mile- $.008 (All Dealer- oil changes@~7500)
Highest MPG seen- 17.920 MPG (25 Gallon Fill up)
Worst MPG Seen- 13.858
All information is Calculated from Fuel Reciets and milage log- none from Truck computer. I maintain a spreadsheet. It is pretty interesting looking at the data. My one complaint of the 6.0 would be that my '02 7.3 got 1 more MPG then the 6.0 when comparing them over the first 20,000 miles. Fords claim that it is more Fuel efficent is BS to me.
Tim, would you like this same information in the Data collection thread?
