New Build 6.0 F250
 

So last time I posted a thread I was building my tacoma, well I love super dutys and it's always been a dream of mine to build one. I was looking at craigslist and found a dream truck, metallic grey 6.0 F250 mostly built already. It already has a fabtech 10'' lift and 20x12s with 37x13.5s, I have ALOT of plans for this build and it's not going anywhere. Anyway now I'm selling the taco to start paying off the SIX OH.

Definitely sub'ed. Of your running major boost you might want to do head studs and heads and that kinda stuff

The Super duty is truck I like to. I had one but sold that to try and get a h1 hummer. Just want to be careful with the 6.0. My suggestion would be is to not put a tuner on it and do head studs and don't baby it. That's one reason why guys have issues with these. Guys that use the 6.0 as a diesel normally don't have the issues that guys that baby a diesel. It's a nice looking truck. How many miles are on it?

Re: New Build 6.0 F250
 

I have done about half dozen stud jobs and as stated it is a must. REMOVE egr valve and cooler (no block off BS). DECK THE HEAD!!!! too many times guys dont bother and the POS warped heads will blow in no time again. install the revised fuel pressure kit and 6.4 Banjos. Finally get an sct tuner and quality custom tunes. I use IDP and Gearhead, Matt form Gearhead is hands down the best for a good solid reliable truck. These tunes will prolong the life of everything in the drive train"thumbsup" There are several other little tricks here and there too. Read up on it for sure. I still have my 6.0 excursion (with 6spd8)) and its a solid runner, but many times this is not the case!!

Just have a Cummins on hand and your good to go"thumbsup":lmao:

Truck is sick though man!! My excursion had 40s and those same Weld commandos, but shes low now and we just use it for camping trips8)

Re: New Build 6.0 F250
 

Thanks bro "thumbsup" it's a '05 with 55,000 miles

Re: New Build 6.0 F250
 

Ok so it don't have a lot of miles on the 6.0. The issue with these is the egr does not have the proper cooling and will add to much boost and blow the head gaskets. I think.

Re: New Build 6.0 F250
 

yup I'm gona get an egr delete, I was told I should buy a scan gauge 2 and a sinister diesel coolant filter( just ordered both ). I'm also looking into buying the "semi bulletproof package" from bulletproof diesel.

Re: New Build 6.0 F250
 

I would. Build it right the first time so that you don't have to wore about again.

Re: New Build 6.0 F250
 

Yes to the scan gauge keep an eye on the oil and water temps that will tell you alot about how it's cooling. Hot shots stiction eliminator works great I had a few bad injectors and it cleared it up.

Re: New Build 6.0 F250
 

Thanks I'll look into that, appriciate everybody's help "thumbsup" hopefully you guys will enjoy the build. Got some updates coming real soon ;-)

Re: New Build 6.0 F250
 

Sorry there hasn't been any updates, I did get some stuff that'll I'll post more of later. But for now I got my new set of rims and tires on, 22x14 moto metal 962s and 35x12.5 nittos trail grapplers. Let me know what you guys think :mrgreen:

Re: New Build 6.0 F250
 

not really digging your taillights. but I painted my dads front bumper in high school along with the grill to make it gunmetal all the way around.

you do have a nice truck though. black rims look great on this color.

Re: New Build 6.0 F250
 

On the wheels and tires, eh not my thing. It kinda looks like a low rider to me...
