I'm not touching a 6.0 after all the horror stories I've heard and I can't swing a newer 6.4 or 6.7 without taking out a loan. I can swing a 05-06 6.6 duramax without taking out a loan so I think that's what I'll do. I should be getting word back on what's up with my truck today so I'll see after the quote comes back

So the dealership thinks its a valve spring. 80% less compression on the passenger side. They're pulling the valve cover tomorrow to check it out

do the kc behind the grill not affect the air flow and make your engine run hot

Yeah and I don't really like any of the new f150s in my budget. What would you guys buy for 30k? I want something without huge maintenance
