Both are suspect for wiring harness chaffing drives side valve cover. IMO

Do a search on harness chaffing or just chaffing

Do they fillup with diesel at the same location everytime they fillup, if so they may reconsider and try filling up at a different location. Just wonder if they have contaminated fuel.

Hey if their from Denmark and get their fuel... "then there's something rotten in Denmark" as the saying goes.

Why not just have your two friends register and surf this site on their own and ask their own questions. I know you said your being a friend, but it always sounds funny when ... "a friend of mine as a 6.0L and he knows 2 other 6.0's......"

2004 trucks/motors were corrected, yes there will always be some problems, but there is this site and others that may shed some light on the issue.

Good luck,
