6.0 L perhaps not.....
well guys....
at present I have a 93 F250 nonturbo 7.3
and was thinking of getting a new 6.0 L...
but after reading some of the posts here I
may just jump ship and get a durimax..
don't get me wrong here.. I love my truck...
but if Ford can't get it's **** together here..
they will loose others like myself to the other manufacturers..
hope this all gets straightened out and soon....

Are you sure that is the finally solution? Seems to me no one has built a perfect engine. i dont care if your dodge, chevy, ford or honda no one has a "perfect, flawless" engine. There will always be room for improvements. Personally i didnt want to be the first one with a 6.0 but dont count me out in maybe 2 or 3 yrs.

Everybody has some trouble now and again. Toyota is replacing tens of thousands of 3.0L V-6's because the oil passages weren't milled correctly and they sludge up, leading to oil starvation.
VW is recalling multi-100,000's cars for bad coils.
Most of the ills that I have seen look to be software related on the PCM, not mechanical. Give the computer nerds a few months to debug the software.

I wouldn't buy a 6.0L for awhile , especially with all the issues poping up now. My friend has a duramax and hasn't had 1 issue with his truck , and he has right around 100k on the motor....

that is why this is such a great site
will wait and see what happensand then decide

time to straighten everything out

I just recently recieved my 6.0L and love it. I know that the engine is new to the line and I expect a few flaws. But if you review the messages you are only hearing the bad stories. What we don't know is the ration of bad to good. Is it 1 in 10 or 1 in 1000 that are bad. I having been waiting on this truck and watching the stats for what Ford produces a week. For the week ending Feb. 8th Ford produce 59,000 + trucks. I do not how many of these are the 6.0L. So don't be to judgemental over a few bad apples.

I can assure you folks out there that own the new 6.0 that Ford is aware of some of idio-syncricy's and have a broad base team of engineers and techs out in the field to take care of the issues that are surronding the 6.0 at a feverish pace.

You are right...
don't know if the problems are 1 out of 10 or 1 out of 1000..... but if you're the ONE.... it's a lot like low unemployment of 1%... sounds great until it's you !!!!
**************************
but truth be told...
I'm having enough issues with my '02 7.3L Ex...
so I might as well have the '03 6.0L....
***************************
The tale of the tape...
purchased New in August '02,
in the shop for the 6th time since then... but worse than that...
6 months ownership and payments and Grand Prarie Ford has had it for 3 months total and counting....
(Current visit all last week for a one day repair and still there!!!!)
STAY AWAY from GPF !!!!
