Yes, they have to be detuned because of the heat issues with no room for a bigger intercooler. All the ambulances run these HP as well.

I wonder if these detuned 6.0's are less likely to have head gasket issues then our superdutys. I also welcome you neighbor!

Have you tried running biodiesel in your truck yet? Thats all I will run in mine, unless I'm out of town and can't find it. I like the way it runs- the engine runs quieter and the bio adds extra lubricity to the fuel the ULSD took away.

Did you check out the price of that 6.0 option? The EPA penalties must be factored in.

Theres a Gascard fueling station, actually 3 of them, in about a 15 mile radius around here. You need a Gascard account and card to get fuel there. However, there is a station on Ridge Pk just East of Ursinus college that is an AmeriGreen, but I think their price was substantially higher than the Gascard stations.

I have only driven 1 E450 ambulance, an 05, and it was not immune to HG issues.
