The 6.0

Geez, have you guys been following all the oil leaks guys have been complaining about with their 6.0's? Over at the dieselstop.com, they seem to be having, tranny, and engine oil leaks. Hope they get all that straightened out soon. There's also the "romp romp" startup issue with a surging problem.

It always worries me whan a "new and improved" label comes on something. I'm sure they will be top notch after the "bugs" are worked out.

Yes I have been following this !
very scary to say the least!
Just think this 6.0 was in R+D for quite a few yrs.

Not just leaks but turbo problems also

Sure hope the 3valve gas engines don't have these problems.

I've been trying to keep up with the new engine to see how much more I'd hate myself for getting my current truck. Right now, I'm glad I went cheap. Well, kind of glad.

What I really don't understand is how all those guys can be so accepting of the problems. I'd be one PO'd SOB if my new truck had any one of those problems. And the guy whos truck dies at stop signs must be bucking for the Pope's job.
