No Problems

I have been reading of all the problems with the 6.0 PSD, and wanted to start a thread of how many people havent had problems. As of this date, my truck has been problem free. I hope everyone without problems could list that they dont, so i am not paranoid my truck will break down. Sorry, guess i have been reading too much bad info about the new engine.

I absolutely agree that we do not have enough THAT ARE NOT HAVING PROBLEMS... posting.
I will ask all on this thread to follow the instructions below this line and post you “none event” data. In addition, please tell all to do the same. Post all the information with a “no problem” statement. Yes, we need the great with the troubled.

Go to this thread, read completely…. Follow, on page 3..MLF250’s format, it is good…and easy! and post. Important update to instructions on page 6.
Most important part of this data...also, there “is” owners out there that have had no problems. To be fare to my methodology… I need the same from the “no problem” owners.. i.e. mileage (mileage is the odometer reading)
important a “no problem” statement if you have had none.

ODOMETER reading at time of problem is critical.
In addition, please read more instructions, bottom of first page, posted by Tim L
The simpler the writing (posting) of “problem/odometer” reading………….the easier it will be to collate.
Do not need many words, NO stories.
I must reduce all the date into a usable format; extra words will take more time to complete.

I implore all 6.0 owners to please take the time

Thanks
Tim

04superduty,
I have an 03' 6.0 that was purchase in June 03'. Had 6 miles on it to begin with. Put 10,000 miles on it in 3 weeks, no problems at all. Lots of power!!!! Now has 20,350 miles. A couple minor problems that it is in the shop for right now, but could be because of extreme cold temps. No flashes. Staying as far away from reprogramming as possible. Love my Powerstroke
