Attn blown head gaskets
After talking to a few others about thier head gaskets blowing i am tryin to see if the failures are only occuring around certain build dates.
If you have blown your head gasket let me know what your build date is, and if you were tuned or not.

I dont know of any either. Were you tuned? What build dates do you suspect?
I have read about a lot of tuned trucks having less issues than stock trucks. Most of the issues on tuned trucks seem to be with fuel pumps, not HG's. Just from what I have read anyway.

A few guys on the org and the garage have been popping head gaskets. Like mentioned above, there does seem to be a correlation going on with the build dates.

Looks like a Spartan Race tune issue as can't find anything on this in the normal powerstroke forums. There are a few that mention this problem or a EGR issue on the Spartan Forums. It would be interesting to know if all these are releated to a particular build date though.

Everyone blamed the tuners on 6.0's at first but then there were lots of stock trucks blowing their lid too. I agree that a tuner certainly increases the chances of problems but there are a lot of tuned trucks with no problems yet so Im still interested to hear if there is a relation to the build dates. I had a stock 6.0 pop its top so whether these trucks are tuned or not I am very interested to hear all the information out there.
Ford never recalled HG's or bolts on the 6.0 and those were a pretty big issue, certainly more common than the 6.4 so I wouldnt look for them to recall anything here either.
