Good evening Jim
Hello Steve. I was glad to read that your FIL was not going backwards. Even though it does not appear that he is making progress he may very well be doing just that.
I hate you Cris! lol Hope your having fun.
I wonder if Marks phone cooked that rice yet?

Howdy, everyone.
Looks like I'm gonna be a real trucker-man on Wednesday. But it will be in a 6.0 not in my 7.3 like I'd want.
As much as everyone bad-mouths the 6.0 I really don't think it's a bad engine. And the tow/haul mode is great. And I like the in-dash brake controller as well. Very nice setup.

Even this 06 had its fair share of problems and then some, but it's got a lot more pep than the 7.3 does. Or at least it does if you go stock to stock.
This 6.0 went to the dealership 3x within 15,000 miles because it wasn't running on all cylinders. It's been good for the last 12k.
1st time they reflashed the computer
2nd time they replaced the injector wiring harness
3rd time they replaced an injector
My 7.3 has been in 1x and that was for a CPS recall. But it'll be 2x soon because I can't stand to chase down any more stupid electrical things.
