I'd say you have it backwards my man. How do you think the 6.0L got it's nickname from Ford mechanics?
OH-NO!!!
Possible the worst engine ever put in an F-Series pick up.
All I do bro, and I do mean ALL I do, every single day, is maintain a fleet of F550's with 6.0 and 6.4's. I absolute HATE the 6.4 liter. 6.0 isn't a bad engine, when, like I said, you fix all the crap that goes wrong with every single one of em. Since our 6.0 fleet is pushing 10 years old now, I don't see much of them for major issues anymore, because I've replaced all the bad stuff on just about all of them.
I have a '02 F-250 Super Duty with the 7.3L Powerstroke. I spoke of it earlier in this thread. It's one hell of a truck and an engine. The best pick-up I have ever owned. That's all I have driven since I started driving at 16 for my main vehicle.....pick-ups.
I agree, the 6.0L (SIX-POINT-OH-NO) was a dirty fat turd.
The 6.4L was a bit better, but still was no 7.3L.
The new 6.7L is pretty good from what I have heard.
I hear ya man, I have a 7.3 too. Love the engine, oh and that sound! We'll be camping way out in the woods, and off in the distance I'll hear that sweet CHUG-CHUG-CHUG coming our way. I'll stand up, turn to my wife and say "There's a Powerstroke coming..." Hahaha.
2001 Ford F 150 Super Crew 100K just turned over and nothing has ever gone wrong except 1 700 $ part for the a/c, Amazon Green hope it never breaks I just got sticker shock, I think I paid 24,700 in 1999, yes that is correct when Ford made the new Supercrew they were made in 1999 even though they called them a 2001 model, great for me when re sale comes if ever
1989 GMC 350 TBI 367,500 original motor never touched it still purring along. I add a quart every 3k change oil at 5k.
1999 Ford 7.3 150,000 miles all original. Change oil at 5k.
I normally expect 200,000 easy. The 89 GMC 350 is a great engine. Has plenty of power, passes smog clean and is very very simple to work on.
I have a 2002 GMC 1500 4.3L/V6 with just over 100K on it.
I know someone with the same model, older, with 250K.
What's your truck and how many miles do you think you'll get on the clock?
I have a 2002 S10 4x4 Blazer with the 4.3 currently with 146k on it. I replaced the intake gaskets about 10k miles ago and spark plugs/cap n rotor button/plug wires at 120k and a fuel pump at 125k.
I split DD status with it and my Camaro(fair weather) and use it to pull my boat. I expect it to go another 100k. The 4.3 is a rock solid engine. They don't make the HP nor get the best fuel economy like some of the newer stuff but they are pretty easy to work on, parts are plentiful and cheap and they last.
