Would I need to do head studs if I didn't tune it? I just want intake and exhaust. I would like another 7.3, but ive had two and I've really wanted to give the 6.0 a try. I won't get a 2004-2005

Leveled F150

F150 would be a Lil cheaper

even if you dont tune it i would strongly recommend studs, and the stock injectors suck, and the egr cooler would be another thing i would toss out but i believe with that out you need a tune... i have seen 1 6.0 2005 go over 200k miles without any problems and the guy uses it for service calls to fix highway diesel big rigs.... he takes real good care of it tho

I had a 6.0 that I had for about a year. It had been well taken care of and maintained. It was never abused or skimped on. I knew the previous owner personally. I traded that truck , a 2003 Lariat FX4 crew cab with 180k miles on it even for my 2wd crew cab F150 with 130k and would never look back. The guy I traded it to claimed it had a bad injector and a coolant leak that I was unaware of completely.

In short, the giant trucks are awesome but even if you maintain them, stuff goes wrong and nothing about a diesel is cheap! I wouldn't trade my f150 for another diesel

I've seen 6.0s make over 600HP reliably, but that's with heavy modification and lots of money. Intake, exhaust, turbo from a 7.3, egr delete, new oil cooler, new HPOP, APR studs, new head gaskets, SCT tuner with custom tunes, premium gold coolant, and a remote oil filter from Bulletproof Diesel in AZ. After all was said and done, his truck ran great. He also had a BUILT tranny from ATS. I've seen 6.4s have an intake, exhaust, tuner and egr/dpf delete make the same HP reliably. The 6.0 takes a lot of money to make reliable. I have yet to see a 6.7 modified besides urea/dpf/egr delete, but even stock that truck has some major *****.

Yes I was refering to stock no deleted 6.4s. The shop i work at has a contract with a well service that has 25 of them and they are all stock and they blow head gaskets like crazy lol! But yea if people delete them they do good but the majority of 6.4 owners don't even know what a dpf is lol. They are very powerful engines though.

bigwhitebullet6.4

Agreed... The dpf kills the engines and there turbos when it shoots extra fuel through cyl 7 and 8 and its goes threw the turbos and Burns out turbo seals and when egr goes it can take head gaskets with it... Both are trouble but deleted making the engine more simple the head gaskets hold up to 600HP most the time.

Honestly I think anything newer then like 06 is ugly... get a 7.3 or a 6.0. Turbo back exhaust... if you go 6.0 id look at getting upgraded head studs though
