Need advise on 6.0 powerstroke
 

I'm a newbie to the forum.
First of all thanks for any and all info you can give me.
I've got a 2005 Ford F-350 6.0 PWRSTROKE
Head gaskets just went @ 200000 plus miles.
"Left Coast Diesel" here in California suggests a conversion kit adding studs to the heads and a bullet proof EGR valve. Price tag $6500.00 throw in a chip for better fuel economy and performance and your @ $7000.00
I want to keep the truck....but that's allot of money to but in a 200000 mile engine.
#1 I could just give it a normal head gasket job.
#2 rebuild engine completetly including "Stud head kit conversion"
#3 Get create engine
#4 Just do "Stud Kit conversion"
Now with all this said Money is a huge issue....I'd have to save to do any of this and live meagerly.
I have bought a Ford Ranger cheap to save money and get around but it needs a cap and "things"......Any suggestions on PWRSTOKE fixes???
I'm leaning toward a plain head gasket replacement.

I responded to your other thread, no need to double post bud. Welcome to the forum! :c:

I moved this from the Diesel Conversion thread, therefor 2 similar posts. Can I leave it with you to clean up one or the other?

I already closed this one down Ryan... figured I'd just leave it at that for a few days so he knows where it went, then delete it later.
