Has anyone gotten 200,000 or more miles out of a 6.0? Generally speaking smaller displacement engines do not last as long as bigger ones because they have to work harder.

 

If that statement were true then how would you explain all the little 1.8l honda civics runnin around with 3 trillion miles on them?

The point being made is that a 2.5l civic would last longer than 1.8l one would.

 

hahaha touche!

several 6.0's in our fleet have in excess of 200k 1 was at 310k when engine went south! wasn't an inherent 6.0 problem but a overspeed issue (too heavy a trailer & not enough brakes for 7% down grade!)

Yamaguy- I love that pic! very nice

 

Thanks, how do you like your 450? Is it a beast with the SCT? What does the straight pipe compare to 7.3 6.0 Duracrap?

 

Straight piped this truck sounds sick! It oblitorates the 6,blow in stock for stock races. I havent got the tuner in yet, im awaiting for some Spartan Diesel tunes. Overrall the truck is badass! It whoops on them duiracraps. All tho the LMM's usually take me but the Cummins cant keep. I love that the most, lol.

Cowboy Steve

 

wow! so you beat the LBZ Duracraps? Impressive.

 

how are you defeating the dpf strategy?

 

YamaGuy-yeah, the LBZ rigs dont get beat by anything usually larger then a truck length. They keep it close, but they dont launch like this truck does it seems.

Hotroddsl-Cut it off the truck and placed the sensors back in order. No regens yet with 5700 miles on the straight pipe setup.

You have been Crowing way to long. I am calling BS on this. I have no doubt that it will take a 6.0 but there are numerous tests that have been performed even head to head (pickuptrucks.com) and the new Duramax beat the 6.4, and when tested empty it was even a bigger difference(I know they weigh 1k less). As far as the test goes look at the times of the new V10 and it ran very close to the 6.4 (with different gears of course).
This post was about 7.3 vs 6.0!!!!

You keep bad mouthing the 6.0 when in fact they are great motors and are actually the base for your engine. The added toque that the 6.4 has would be awesome to say the least but in all actuality the 6.0 will pull 12k up every hill at the speed limit so why bad mouth them?

Oh yeah and the 6.0 gets better fuel mileage than the 6.4 and the 7.3 gets even better fuel mileage than the 6.0.
