Dead 6.0 Any Ideas?
I have an 05 KingRanch w/ 52k miles. Running strong as ever, no chugs, or smoke, nothing out of the ordinary. I am 1 block from the house and it quits. Stops running w/ no warning, and will not start. Great power for turn-over but no bang at all. Towed to dealer yesterday, they worked on it all day today. No codes thrown and the FORD Master minds havent a clue. They stated they will start tearin down the engine tomorrow.
Any thoughts?
I tell ya fellas...........if Ford would use Cummins, they would have a seller! I took a chance in this purchase but..........
I had 3000 miles and they had to drop the tranny to fix an oil leak. Next the turbo went south at 20k. Its been pulling to the right since new, you wouldn't believe how many times I have been back for that.
Never had a prob w/ my 2000 Cummins 2500. I love this F250 but DANG!

JLHOG1,
First off find a new dealer with a "Qualified & Certified" 6.0 tech. Sounds like the guys where you are going don't have a clue.
More than likely there is a leak at the Hpop fitting. They need to diagnose it for this before they start tearing things apart.
Hope this helps

Not sure if our resident techs can help you much since it just quit without warning or symptoms.

Don't let a couple guys getting off topic scare you away. When it comes to personal preference between engines, it can get pretty heated. Give this thread a little time and some guys with a lot of experience will find you. Good luck.
