New to the site and new to diesels!
Hi folks, Diesel Bombers is the main forum I've been doing a lot of research on before I purchased my 2006 Ford F250 6.0 Powerstroke yesterday. Yes, I know the dreaded 6.0! It has 125k miles on it, OASIS report only showed 3 injectors, FICM, and EGR valve done under warranty in 2009/2010. The trukc is in really great shape, only had two owners. I installed the Edge Insight CTS monitor today, the EOT and ECT are running an average of 2-3 delta and temps were showing 185-190. So far looks like I managed to get my hands on one of the good ones. I don't plan on getting a tuner until I can fork up the cash to do one of the bulletproof kits to change out the studs, EGR cooler, oil cooler, etc. From a lot of what I read, a lot of the problems people had with the 6.0 was due to **** poor maintenance and neglect, or going crazy on a tune and pushing too much power without doing other mods. Only mod I see on this truck is someone put a K&N cold air intake in it. I'm ordering a Sinister Diesel coolant filtration kit tomorrow and hopefully next month look at an exhaust. On that note, is it better to do a cat back or turbo back? Unless I start seeing any problems, I don't plan on doing the costly bulletproof kit (parts and labor) until next year. Any tips/advice would be greatly appreciated!
I will say after only two days of owning/driving a diesel, I am hooked!
