new for PSD
I love the guy to death, but I gotta laugh, my boss just refuses to see the truth. But I do have a new name for his 6.0 PSD, ready ?
"Personal Stranding Device"
3 days ago he's told the injectors were bad, $1200 later he driving to work, well trying to drive to work. 5:10 AM sitting in the left lane of the freeway, the shop now says the batteries are bad, the alternators are bad, it's unreal. And it's time after time after time. A new turbo, a new turbo housing, a this, a that all in the last 6 months. The bad thing is he's now so frustrated that he's looking at a chebbie. I keep saying "V10 Ford, V10 Ford, V10 Ford". "At least DRIVE one before you decide on something". But it may be too late.

He's pretty angry, I can't say as though I blame him, 67,000 miles and it runs almost every other day.
He'll be hard-pressed to ever return if that's the case. I can't say I'd fault him, myself...BUT...even if he gets the 6.0 chevy gas engine, he'll still not know what he's lost in the V10...
That, my friend, is the problem, though, ain't it?

This is a great post and my 7.3 diesels were PSDs............Power Stroke Diesels
My 04 6.0 was just as you say Ken, a Personal Stranding Device
I too almost went to the max pad and the comeapart but after driving both I decided to stick with Ford and try a V10. Fredvon's posts helped me decide. This was a great choice and one I might keep for a long time. The last good choice I made was 36 years ago when I married Donna so I like to stick with a winner. Take care, Don.

That, my friend, is the problem, though, ain't it? HIS BEST FRIEND DRIVES HOME THE 2006 V10 !!! And he gives my boss a ride home because the cam sensor is kaput and the PSD has to stay to get fixed !!!

Ok guys I gotta know I had a 85 and a 95 ford Diesel & had some problems with glow plugs mostly but no major stuff -- Are these 6.0 engine problems Ford caused by tinkering or are they from the manufacture of the engine???

Of course it won't run, so his buddy says "well let's go over and drive that V10 Ken told you about while they see if they can get your truck running". A half hour later, you will never believe this, but it's all true, half an hour later,,,

You'll find here that unlike some 'other forums' we don't bash people who have different opinions than we do. So feel free to jump in to any thread and discuss our favorite engine, the 6.8 liter V10. Don't take any sarcasm to heart, we're just a bunch of big kids, with BSEG's.

I went through the painful process of deciding between the V10 and the 6.0. I drove a V10 6-spd. Very nice motor, lots of power, very smooth. Ultimately, I went with the 6.0, but it was a very close call for me. I must have gone back and forth on the motor decision 6 or 8 times.
