Its a 08 municipal engine with 73k on it he says.

 

[Yaj Yak]

oh. well did some commercial trucks still get the 6.0 in 2008 perhaps?

 

[Eagle]

Econoline vans had the 6.0 through 2009. He just showed me the wiki page.

Has to be...

Just googled this quick of a 6.4, you can see the difference.

I even like this one more than the OP....

Needs hydraboost unit. Currently power steering does not work, truck is parked because I don't want to put any more money into it.

IIRC hydraboost is a common issue in biiig fords?

Egr cooler failure was a big problem too on the 6.0 . Hence an egr delete

 

[Eagle]

I offered him 12. We'll see what happens.

The turbo lag seems odd. Maybe I should drove a couple more of them.

Thanks for the help, gents!

There shouldn't be much lag at all...

Bring it by before you buy. I'll do a used car inspection.

 

[Eagle]

I'll take you up on that, Frank.

 

[Outlaw]

I'll take you up on that, Frank.

Sounds good. The 6.0's had the variable vane turbos to practically eliminate lag... But it's not uncommon for the variable vane bits to go out over time. Could be the issue.

why the fuck is the underneath of that truck so rusty. mine has been through 12 Chicago winters and doesn't even look close to that.

I would rather have a 6.4 than a 6.0, if you get it for a good price and get it deleted and studded go for it, 6.0's can be pretty quick and with proper maintenance can run for quite a while. Personally I wouldn't trust a Powerstroke, I do know of a couple that have ran pretty much trouble free however.

 

[DEEZUZ]

6.4 is the worst powerstroke ever produced. The fact that there isnt nearly a remotely similar number to those in production, 6.0 has the worst rap. But, by far is a better engine.

The only favor they did to us with the 6.4 was make the cab easier to lift(despite the fucking caged nuts that break off in body and require blind welding to get the body bolt out) because they need to come off more often than 6.0 cabs.

to OP- the reason for your lag is probably a VGT issue, the vanes are most likely not seating to where they need to therefore making the accel harsh. 27 psi should be what you can see from this truck

 

[Eagle]

Thanks for the info. So the 6.0 should make 27psi in stock form?

 

[Typhoon]

My dad has a 2006 6.0 truck. That is for 100% sure a 6.0 in that truck. Before the tune it made around 25psi as I recall.

 

[Eagle]

Sounds like the 6.0 isn't half bad once the studs and egr delete is done... And the sooner the better. Then it's just tune and boost away!

 

[MikeyLikesIt]

Stud swap on a 6.0l...have fun;

These cabs were designed to be pulled off for service.

If you end up getting a 6.0 let me know I can have the job done in a day.

I can have a turbo swapped in 15 minutes and oil cooler in a few hours.

There are several other issues to address. The most vital is the lifters. I've seen them fail anywhere from 55k and up. Most of the failures are 220k and up. There are is nothing to prevent it, no certain oil, no certain tune, they just explode. Within minutes of a lifter failure, in which you will not notice, the engine will be trashed. I've got a hard drive or two with pictures of all sorts of failures on these motors. Once you think it's bulletproofed, bam something else happens.

I myself cannot wait til I can get my hands on a 6.0. Love to have a 6 speed red car with shortbox conversion 4x4. Slammed and 550 daily drivable hp.

 

[DEEZUZ]

The one you pictured does not look like a reman. It's not painted black nor Grey, so it's probably just a factory engine swapped in from another truck

 

[DEEZUZ]

6.4 always requires cab off to remove engine..

Some core facts of 6.4.

Your fuel system takes a shit. Set aside $9k. A piston cracks, which seems to be more Common than written on any forum, just get a new engine. Just swapped one, $18k.
