Great work on the videos and channel. Monitoring and Oil, coolant, and trans filtration on a 6.0 are critical. They can get a bad rap, but they're damn solid if a guy corrects a few stock weaknesses and maintains them well. The 6.0 is a 500,000 mile motor all day long if it's taken care of/ - As a side note, the guys at FICMRepair are damn solid resources for any 6.0 owner. They sell pretty much any part a guy could need and the customer service is stellar. They help guys all the time with troubleshooting, OE and aftermarket parts selection, etc. - Plus, if you're going to own/drive a 6.0, the FICM tunes they sell wake the beasts up very nicely. Best of all, they help with fuel mileage!
Yea my Cummins only makes 600+ hp and I’ve never blown anything and it doesn’t have any “stock weaknesses.” Funny enough I’d never buy a pickup truck with “stock weaknesses” as serious as the 6.0-6.4 Ford motors. Hellll no.. and I get 23 mpg.

I had a 2007 King Ranch 6.0 that I wish i didn’t sell because after it I had a 6.4 that was alright but now I’ve got an 04 LLY Duramax that I’ve built from stock and I can honestly say as a Chevy guy from heart I miss my 6.0
It’s up on the top for me but unless it’s built right I won’t take now if it’s between like a 6.4 and a 6.0 6.0 all day but 7🌲is my favorite with the ole square body
Same here. I own a 7.3 now with only 128,000 miles now but the 6.0 is far more powerful and the transmission is much smoother. Plus the change to front coil overs on the 2005-2007 made my 6.0 ride like a dream! Love the 7.3 for the long term though.
I’ve got an 07 6.0 crew cab long bed. Dealer Proofed at PowerStroke Specialty in Buford Georgia. Stud’s, injectors, turbo, alternator by mean green. Radiator, and many other things Etc. I have paperwork. It’s a Great Truck. 47k Cash 💰. 170,000 miles, proofed at 126k. 2 owner. Heads turn
6 liters aren’t really bulletproof unless your oil cooler is relocated externally, without that the truck just has head studs IMO and of course EGR delete would be a part of that. Red ELC coolant, blue spring upgrade, straight pipe, nasty tune and they run forever. If you’re running stock tune on your ficm I’d look into the atlas 40 if you tow a lot
Not true. Stock oil cooler is fine if you run a hard chemical flush and then change the oil cooler. It will not clog again if you switch to ELC and do the flush properly.
@@_.incredible_magnum._291 No shit. You modify to make them reliable. Kind of like gm IFS or Dodge transmissions...they're problematic from the factory. Once upgraded, they're fine.
I loved my 6.0 lol it was a bulletproofed 03, only issues i had with it in the 2.5 years i owned it was engine wiring harness issues, an sensor problems due to the icp location down behind the turbo on the 03 engines vs the late 04-07s on the pass side valve cover. Oh an 03s like to have their oil rails come off too causing a hpo leak. They did change the design on them in the 04.5-07 trucks
Sheeeit.... Yall know Charlie Keeter won the Diesel Power Challenge back to back in a 6.0 right? I overhauled one at 137k miles, all the parts in the BPD recipe, KDD heads, cams and supporting cast, compound KC whirly bois and some smokin ass tunes from Gearhead and a 200 shot.

@@jasonpatterson947 That’s Cool 😎.. It’s a great investment. Long story short, I went from a truck that I couldn’t drive, to one that I can get my money back if I sell it

Trick to my 6.0 is I never bothered resealing the bed plate, Haven't pulled drain plug in years lol I just gotta add fresh oil while I keep my undercarriage greased and lubed I also can tell how much juice the batteries have by the size of the puddle if she sat for a while lol. I brought home a brand new F-350 my first 6.7 last week not gonna lie its fast, clean, and reliable, but think i like my 6.0s shit-stained cloth seats better
Yes definitely take advice from this dude over Deboss… I hope this dude is trolling. You can’t tell if a 6.0 is good by just looking it over. You can literally get a no start from a bad o-ring… if you want one just accept the fact that you’ll need to pull the cab, tear down the engine, replace everything that is a common issue which is… well everything.. and put it back together just to probably have an issue anyway. So yeah his 6.0 might be okay at the moment, but I guarantee it won’t be like that for long. Can’t even trust the studded ones because there aren’t enough studs per cylinder. Just buy a Cummins.
Deboss is a Canadian that doesn’t even know what freedom is. Of course he likes Cummins… he doesn’t know that Ford is the best. He drinks that Canadian piss water beer and smokes the devils lettuce! Ford. Freedom. PERIOD. Not little six cylinder engines, big meaty v8 Fords! 8 is better than 6.
Yes you can tell if a 6.0 is good or not by looking it over if you've seen enough of them. An yes you can put a couple grand into it an they will last a long time if properly maintained
Right and spending 7k on a dodge trans for the entire truck to fall apart round it is hilarious u Cummins guys are fuckin clowns accept we take yall trucks to rip the motor out
Also a good test is make sure the engine is cold when looking at it and the wire by the passenger battery will crank over the engine but not start it so you can listen if a rod or rocker I’s screwed
I'm a new 2005 6.0 owner. I was having problems like the hot no start. Thicker and thinner oil difference sounds about right. It's not bulletproofed and all i've put in it so far is the blue spring kit. For some reason the tow haul turns on and i feel like it has something to do with the temp. Always in the mornings, never in the afternoon.
Hey love your vid’s man! I am looking to get a 05 to 07 6oh. Can you refer some like links and stuff for the parts you would get for bulletproofing? Keep up the great work 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Yessir I'm in the works right now on being a blessed performance dealer so lmk when you need parts an I can get you set on whatever you need dm me on Insta or Facebook
I just bought an 03 6.0 lariat with 66,000 miles for 18k all stock except 4 inch exhaust. Two owner from California only pulled a camper and horse trailer.
The 6.0 is the second best engine Ford ever used. I put my money were my mouth is and I own a 250 and a 450 with the same engine. My experience is that with proper maintenance of known issues the trucks are great. First raise fuel pressure with blue springs. Second flush oil cooler every 2 to 3 years. Third keep the oil clean and leave the damn thing alone!!!! No custom tuning larger turbos or rolling coal. The guys with the stretched head bolts, blown head gaskets and starting problems did it to themselves. Leave the damn thing alone because surprise; you aren't an engineer.
The oil doesnt need to be changed every 3000 miles, 6000 is even kindve a stretch especially if youre running additives like hotshot secret, oil cooler is a common issue, bulletproof egr is a good permanent fix, or delete and a tune, all the fuel side bs is a problem including oil rails, headstuds with oring’d heads are a big plus. 6.4 rockers are another plus. 6.0 definitely isnt the best diesel by any stretch but when they run great they are nice.
I had my oil tested at 7k and they said it could have gone 9k. That being said, I wish I could change it every 3000 because it looks so thin and spent. I don't have the motivation to do it though lol
@@ImTrickyyyyyxD The leafs are stronger, and I have driven and ridden in both... The only advantage coils have over leafs are that you can turn shorter...
Imo, 6.0s aren't a good first truck. Yes, they can be really reliable, after they've gotten the works done. That also takes cash. Don't get me wrong, I love my 6.0, but a 12 valve or 7.3 is a good starter. If you're mechanically inclined and feel like you're able to do head gaskets and head studs, then a 6.0 is a good candidate.
@Vincent Np. I'm not trying to steer you away from a 6.0, I'm just being upfront. If you think you can handle what it takes to make a 6.0 reliable, I say do it. Of you're new to diesel, 12 valves or 7.3s are much simpler. Haha
@@brettrichards666 yeah I got you, after doing the little research I did so far, I realize that the 6.0 was kinda designed poorly because of all the problems it has stock. But after all the bullet proofing and blue spring and other mods it's good but it is a lotta work to do and a lotta money for being new to diesels lol
You forgot to say 6oh’s are the best trucks in the United States ☺️☺️ 6.0s are the my favorite though forsure! that’s why I have a 03 and a 07. Play truck/nice truck
I love a properly bulletproofed 6.0. It’s so reliable. No problems knock on wood. i think when you buy vehicles some units are made better than others. Diesel clean is all I use.
Really debating on buying a 6.0 but I see a lot of 7.3s on marketplace but there asking so much for them and there not in good condition but I’ve seen 6.0s on there cheaper in my area and in better condition so really am debating on what I should buy.
I like your videos, but you know ... You don't have to be a clown every 5 seconds, your content is interesting enough. Edit: not hating... Your content is good .. you got some good info .
The screen is on the ipr valve not the icp, the icp is known for going bad and the oil pressure pushes all the way threw into the pigtail and it doesnt read correctly. I just had a hot no start on my 04 and it was a mixture of a bad ipr (screen was distroyed) and shot orings on the stand pipes
Man I’ve worked on alllloot of these. Almost always no starts due to high pressure oil leaks from broken orings in the oil rails. Ficms going bad, damaged engine harnesses, improper head gasket jobs where some nephsons bestfriends uncle is a diesel mechanic. Never owned one but they sure are good job security.
Hell yeah I love my 2006 Harley Davidson 6.0 I will never sell it however I am trying to get an 11-16 6.7 cuase I don’t wanna beat up my 06 and wear it out so I want a more stronger truck
I found a local 2006 f250 6.0 xlt loaded completely bone stock just like it came out of the dealership, I'm guessing it was owned by an older gentleman, it has 133k miles for $16k runs great on the other side I'm also finding king ranch trims with everything done to the motor with a lot of aftermarket cosmetics but they usually have more miles on the motor like 180-200k plus. being sold for $16k-$20k my question is I'm I better going with the stock truck and build it over the span of 2-3 years or go for one that's has had most of the things done to it. what would my best bet be to have a reliable 6.0
I live in Texas and I bought a 2006 FORD f-350 with a 6.0 in Houston I drove it to San Antonio because that's I didn't know anything about diesel so the oil cooler was out . So I took it to a know mechanic it was running when I left it there it sat at his shop for yr so I picked-up I had to pulled it out of his shop . Took to another diesel tech he told me he had changed the oil cooler and did a coolant flush so I took home and it did still the oil cooler problem so I have it sitting at my house
I was wondering if you can like downshift on the gear shifter and like go through the gears on the gear shifter or not to like engine brake...? or anything like that.
Egr delete? Something you have to bring to a shop or? 03. Also excellent job helping guys with 6.0 trucks. I've always wanted one and got mine as soon as you started with the "6.0 series" and you've helped a lot. Final question. 03 with 208k guy says 15k of work was done to it before I got it I assumed bulletproofing? But doesn't have those 12 bolt studs. Did he lie or what could have been done.
I will say i have 2004.5 f250 with a 6.0 studded full delete and a stage 3 turbo and the only problem iv had is a water pump (that i just replaced with a bullet aluminum propeller) and 2 starters. Other than that its a power house at 10 lbs of boost
You have pressure the next morning? You have it backwards. You need to hook up a pressure gauge to your degas bottle, get it up to temp and do a few wot pulls. Sounds like you have bad hg’s or cracked heads..

The 6.0 is the second best engine Ford ever used. I put my money were my mouth is and I own a 250 and a 450 with the same engine. My experience is that with proper maintenance of known issues the trucks are great. First raise fuel pressure with blue springs. Second flush oil cooler every 2 to 3 years. Third keep the oil clean and leave the damn thing alone!!!! No custom tuning larger turbos or rolling coal. The guys with the stretched head bolts, blown head gaskets and starting problems did it to themselves. Leave the damn thing alone because surprise; you aren't an engineer.
The oil doesnt need to be changed every 3000 miles, 6000 is even kindve a stretch especially if youre running additives like hotshot secret, oil cooler is a common issue, bulletproof egr is a good permanent fix, or delete and a tune, all the fuel side bs is a problem including oil rails, headstuds with oring’d heads are a big plus. 6.4 rockers are another plus.
6.0 definitely isnt the best diesel by any stretch but when they run great they are nice.
I had my oil tested at 7k and they said it could have gone 9k. That being said, I wish I could change it every 3000 because it looks so thin and spent. I don't have the motivation to do it though lol
6.0 all the way have my goin on 10years with still ready for what ever.
I have a late 04... Best year IMO... Leaf springs in the front instead of the coils in the 05-07, but the same engine as the 05...
Why tf would you want leafs over coils. You like riding in a brick ?
@@ImTrickyyyyyxD The leafs are stronger, and I have driven and ridden in both... The only advantage coils have over leafs are that you can turn shorter...
@@sethsteria7320 you either rode in the best leaf truck or worst coil truck in the world because I’ve owned both and leaf trucks ride like ass 100%
Ya the late 04 is good to but idk about the leafs tho😂
@@freeddiesel I have nothing against the leafs... I just really like mine lol!
Yes sir thank you
😂 love the content! Love how you throw in a little humor in a video like this
i thought there wasn’t supposed to be pressure in the coolant reservoir after sitting
There is supposed to be about 16lbs of pressure and that's it
hey man, what gauges you runnin on the 6.0? love the videos man
Excellent video dude 6.0 aren't bad if you maintain them every one of the other manufacturers have problems as well just the 6.0 is well documented
Your the reason I bought a 6.0. Love the vids. Keep it up ol’ son !!
My question is you’ve only had it a year. How do you know it was well maintained for the last 20
It's not 20yrs old😂 maybe 16.
It's 15yrs old lol and it was bulletproofed 2yrs ago and I knew the guy that owned it
@@freeddiesel gotcha. That’s my biggest fear buying used diesels
Keep being you. 👍
I have an 05 6.0 I love it I just had to replace my FICM that’s been the only issue I have had
Ya same here really
This was very helpful,I'm planning on buying my first 6.0
I was thinking about getting a 6.0 as my first truck, but I don't know a lot about any diesels so I would have to do my research
yes do reasearch
Imo, 6.0s aren't a good first truck. Yes, they can be really reliable, after they've gotten the works done. That also takes cash. Don't get me wrong, I love my 6.0, but a 12 valve or 7.3 is a good starter. If you're mechanically inclined and feel like you're able to do head gaskets and head studs, then a 6.0 is a good candidate.
@@brettrichards666 thanks for the information!
@Vincent Np. I'm not trying to steer you away from a 6.0, I'm just being upfront. If you think you can handle what it takes to make a 6.0 reliable, I say do it. Of you're new to diesel, 12 valves or 7.3s are much simpler. Haha
@@brettrichards666 yeah I got you, after doing the little research I did so far, I realize that the 6.0 was kinda designed poorly because of all the problems it has stock. But after all the bullet proofing and blue spring and other mods it's good but it is a lotta work to do and a lotta money for being new to diesels lol
You forgot to say 6oh’s are the best trucks in the United States ☺️☺️ 6.0s are the my favorite though forsure! that’s why I have a 03 and a 07. Play truck/nice truck
I love a properly bulletproofed 6.0. It’s so reliable. No problems knock on wood. i think when you buy vehicles some units are made better than others.
Diesel clean is all I use.
Personally I have nothing against 6.0s they sound good and make good power
Thank you so fricking much!! People needed this like a good explanation of why 6.0s are still badass rigs I LOVE THIS CHANNEL !!! TEAMFREEDDIESEL 🤙🤙
I love those trucks
Really debating on buying a 6.0 but I see a lot of 7.3s on marketplace but there asking so much for them and there not in good condition but I’ve seen 6.0s on there cheaper in my area and in better condition so really am debating on what I should buy.
What did you buy?
love the vids bro!
I like your videos, but you know ... You don't have to be a clown every 5 seconds, your content is interesting enough.
Edit: not hating... Your content is good .. you got some good info .
How did you learn so much about motors please tell me!!??!?
Just being around them and diesel class in highschool
Do you alot about 2nd gens too?
LBZ all the way lol can't hate on a 6.0 I've got one and she's mint 👌
Why should I get a lbz over 6.0?
Let’s go. Can’t wait to watch. 6.0s are the best engine
Cap 6.0s are the worst
You gotta love a Ford🇺🇸
The screen is on the ipr valve not the icp, the icp is known for going bad and the oil pressure pushes all the way threw into the pigtail and it doesnt read correctly. I just had a hot no start on my 04 and it was a mixture of a bad ipr (screen was distroyed) and shot orings on the stand pipes
Ya my bad lol meant ipr
Actually a bullet proof kit is only from bullet proof diesel
Not Necessarily
Well theres kits other companies make but thereason its called bullet proofing is because of the original kit bulletproof diesel made back in the day
Man I’ve worked on alllloot of these. Almost always no starts due to high pressure oil leaks from broken orings in the oil rails. Ficms going bad, damaged engine harnesses, improper head gasket jobs where some nephsons bestfriends uncle is a diesel mechanic. Never owned one but they sure are good job security.
As long as they are built correctly they are good and not some Clown that doesn't know anything about em doing it
Can you list the parts you have put into the black 6.0?
Like performance wise?
Just a turbo lol
@@freeddiesel anything that's not stock that you no of, performance, maintenance, looks, etc.
Hell yeah I love my 2006 Harley Davidson 6.0 I will never sell it however I am trying to get an 11-16 6.7 cuase I don’t wanna beat up my 06 and wear it out so I want a more stronger truck
i love the harley trucks
I found a local 2006 f250 6.0 xlt loaded completely bone stock just like it came out of the dealership, I'm guessing it was owned by an older gentleman, it has 133k miles for $16k runs great on the other side I'm also finding king ranch trims with everything done to the motor with a lot of aftermarket cosmetics but they usually have more miles on the motor like 180-200k plus. being sold for $16k-$20k my question is I'm I better going with the stock truck and build it over the span of 2-3 years or go for one that's has had most of the things done to it. what would my best bet be to have a reliable 6.0
Depends really how well it was built and if it was taken care of
Love the content man!
Idk man If you have to “bulletproof” an engine just to make it a reliable daily is it really “the best diesel ever” ?
If you have to buy a $5k trans every 50k miles it's not worth it
I live in Texas and I bought a 2006 FORD f-350 with a 6.0 in Houston I drove it to San Antonio because that's I didn't know anything about diesel so the oil cooler was out . So I took it to a know mechanic it was running when I left it there it sat at his shop for yr so I picked-up I had to pulled it out of his shop . Took to another diesel tech he told me he had changed the oil cooler and did a coolant flush so I took home and it did still the oil cooler problem so I have it sitting at my house
I'd drive one if I had the money
I was wondering if you can like downshift on the gear shifter and like go through the gears on the gear shifter or not to like engine brake...? or anything like that.
I use tow haul downshifts earlier
You can get an aftermarket shifter with the +/- that allows you to do that. It’s cheap and fairly simple to install.
Egr delete? Something you have to bring to a shop or? 03. Also excellent job helping guys with 6.0 trucks. I've always wanted one and got mine as soon as you started with the "6.0 series" and you've helped a lot. Final question. 03 with 208k guy says 15k of work was done to it before I got it I assumed bulletproofing? But doesn't have those 12 bolt studs. Did he lie or what could have been done.
Yes do the egr delete
Probably lying if he said it's bulletproof and doesn't have them 12pt nuts
How do you do egr delete? Shop or can I do it at home easily
How did you get yours to smoke without a smoke switch?
Blessed performance tunes
6.0 sounds good for sure, but nothing beats a turbo 7.3 idi 👌🏻
I will say i have 2004.5 f250 with a 6.0 studded full delete and a stage 3 turbo and the only problem iv had is a water pump (that i just replaced with a bullet aluminum propeller) and 2 starters. Other than that its a power house at 10 lbs of boost
If your going to own a 6.0 work on it yourself that's the key. I have one with 700hp and it has actually been reliable because I work on it.
What size life do you have on the 6.0. And what are the most reliable years for a 6.0 ?
05-07
4.5in lift and 05-07
You have pressure the next morning? You have it backwards. You need to hook up a pressure gauge to your degas bottle, get it up to temp and do a few wot pulls. Sounds like you have bad hg’s or cracked heads..
What will happen if u don’t do a jam reset?
Could lead to some problems
I have one question can you show us what those buttons do above the door handle
keyless entry all super dutys have them I believe lariat and up
I love the fact he’s trolling yall cause he’s basically saying any truck will last if you take care of it and actually monitor ur shit lmfao
I'm running the bullet proof diesel air to oil cooler on my 04 6.0
Part 2 would be awesome!!
