fact or fiction? dont know.maybe the people in the story truely have had probs with the 6.0 in there ford.i do know that i have met and know many people who own them,i would say 90 pecent of said people were plum happy with the 6.0 .one thing i noticed was in the facts list the publisher stated that the 6.0 was launched in the fall of 02. i believe that to be false info,i never laid eyes on the first 6.0 in a ford till around feb or march of 03. i also dont believe the fact there is no issue or tsb on the cummins,open up the proper issue of a tdr magazine and one will see otherwise. makes me wonder if some pro dodge outfit didnt drum up the reading.

I frequent a couple Ford forums (yeah, I own a couple of 'em - Hi, I'm Mark, and I own a Ford) and the 6.0 PS is not without its problems, but from what I have read on the forums, the problems are nowhere near as bad as what that article is stating. There have been problems with the ECU and there have been a couple new versions of code released. I have also had people rant about blowing out head gaskets, but those were all on heavily modded engines and were running very high boost.
