Information on the 6.0L for new owners

There have been a lot of new 6.0L owners posting lately, so I thought I would re-post this.

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/3...ch-folder.html

First - read the Tech Folder to begin learning, but after that ..............

I have accumulated quite a bit of information and a TON of links in two Excel spreadsheets. Much of the info is from this site, but there are many other sites that offer great info as well. I have included links to posts and other web sites on 50+ topics.

One spreadsheet is on general knowledge, troubleshooting, tech and service manuals, and general maintenance. The other is on available mods (thanks to Tex2505 on this one).

NOTE: The spreadsheets are NO LONGER available by email. Instead, go to the last post (#3976) and follow the links for downloading the two spreadsheets!

Almost all the information is backed up with links to threads that discuss the topic - so there will be references to the information. The information really isn't from me, it is from posts and threads from many techs and various well-respected members of the various Forums. The spreadsheets are indexed and hyperlinked by topic to make it easy to find what you need.

(a lot of new 6.0L owners have been FTE members for quite a while - for them no problem. Sorry I did not think of the brand new forum members PM situation)

rsmarcil - I will try emailing you or look for an email address in your "User CP", but you should be able to send a "Visitor's Message (VM)".

Edit:

Email sent to you.

You have specified "not to receive emails" in your set up. You can click on my user name and send me an email with your email address (I think I have allowed emails).

I couldn't see your email address, but I did change my profile to allow members to send me emails.
