Just a little poll to get a rough idea of where people's overall feelings are toward the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde engine that we all "love"; the 6.0.

The last two options were just to cover the bases, I knew I couldn't think of everything, but I still wanted an overall opinion.

 

my opinion of my 6.0l is completely dependent upon whether it's broken or not...lately, it's had me kinda PO'ed...

 

Well how about this, as of right now as it left you more PO'ed or has it left you with a grin on your face? Then vote accordingly.

 

couldn't be happier!!

 

it's been little stuff...i went on a 2500 mile vacation pulling a 10K# trailer to Yellowstone and back....no problems to speak of...

3 weeks later, wife in MT and it loses an injector(C94's)...

then labor day weekend a turbo clamp breaks...not a big deal...just an inconvienence..

gotta call it like i see it..surprised?

 

This is my dream truck, Best truck I've ever had.

 

Hey, that's really all that we can do.

 

Sounds like you are married to your truck William.

 

I had a couple of issues when I first purchased it used. Covered under warranty... no big deal. The truck is great, I wouldn't trade it for any other truck/car!

 

no, i can't sell my wife to get rid of her...

 

I've got all the issues what a 6.0 can bring up to scare you away, but...
I can not imagine myself having a different vehicle.

 

Well after almost two hours of the poll being open so far very good experiance has broken double digits first. Overall good experiance is leading the pact. Now I know this can change at the drop of a hat, but I'm just glad that the poll at this point early on is showing a positive feedback on a wonderful truck(atleast in my opinion) despite the nasty rep that it has. Hopefully this is a trend that will continue until the poll closes.

 

had the EGR cooler go bad @ 98k love the truck. oh and bad ball joints 3 times

 

I love the truck but hate the motor. The truck gets an A+ but the motor gets a C-. It runs like a raped ape.....not much keeps up, but the reliability is always in question. She's never left me stranded, but I do keep a tight reign on maintanance and always fix before a fall.

 

what is the build date on my engine the sticker in the door oct 2005 right side valve cover sticker has 2006 on it how do you tell when your truck was built purchased new in sept 2006 I have put 13500 miles on this truck with all of the oil changes and fuel filter change runs like a scolded dog [big grin] also I add diesel kleen every time I put fuel in it should I switch to styadyne?
