6.0 Overheat
I have had my 6.0 in for it overheating spurting fluid out of the plastic cap all over the engine, the first time in they replaced the cap. the second time Ford put in new fan, new turbo and a fuel injector O-ring. It still overheats when pulling a trailer, they have told me to bring the trailer in with the truck so their teck can duplacate the problem come on what a joke !!! I have only 57,000 miles has anybody had this problem?

I experienced an overheat indication while towing last summer. No boil over or other running concerns so I thought it was the gauge.
After two trips to the dealer, one with trailer, We couldn't get it to repeat. I thought the computer would record the condition, but no.
I was changing oil a couple weeks later and found the harness to the fan clutch was severed above the fan where it was likely cut when the fan came on the first time. Still no CEL or code set. I hope the tech felt a little silly when I showed him what I found.
Haven't had a chance to tow since, but I'll find out next summer.
Good luck and Take Care
