The truth about towing with a 6.0 Powerstroke!

[@Bodie2020]

An exhaust brake on a powerstroke works just as well as on a Cummins. Get good tuning along with an exhaust brake an it will help tremendously.

Good to know, thanks for the info!

What tune did you use and what all does it take?

[@revolutionanarchy713]

yes. This! I have great tuner and mine is the 6 speed manual 6.0

Bullet proofing a 6.0 won't make it pull any better, still the same HP & tourqe what it does is make the engine more reliable. Not as likely going to blow a head gasket or have your water pump disenigrate. The higher RPMs are not a problem with no load, going downhill just don't let them get way up there. I used mine for OTR hot shot. Put over 750, 000 miles on it. Problem free? No relplaced 2 turbos and one set of injectors & glow plugs. Good luck with yours they really are good trucks once you get them upgraded

I have a really nice 2007 F450 with a 6.0. I am looking for some advice on how to drive this vehicle when towing. I am not a kid and have towed many trailers. I just spent $10,000 fixing the engine on this truck and do not want to have issues again. If you have some bullet point advice on how to drive this diesel when towing I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks! Obviously thinking I have a big bad azz diesel truck and slamming the pedal to the metal is a recipe for disaster.
