I know of a 12v motor sitting in a shed under a tarp. Interested yet?
That's no good though. Hope it gets better from here!

This very well may be a blessing in disguise. They were going to charge us 3k in labor to replace that faulty head. Now they said they will cover it all. I was worried about affording 3k. Perhaps this is for the best.

You seriously need to get rid of that thing and don't ever buy a 6.0 again!

Sounds like a reputable shop. Glad it's working out in its own way. I work on a small fleet of 6.0's and a few 6.4 trucks and I wouldn't ever have one as a daily driver. They are just too damned unpredictable.

I'm in no position to get rid of it. If it would stop breaking down it would be relatively inexpensive to keep. Its paid off and fuel per month is roughly a car payment.

I personally think the dog would look better in the back of a 3rd or 4th Gen Cummins. Just my .02
This is the ultimate test of your diesel loyalty for sure! If this does not steer you away nothing will.

At the rate your going you can't afford to keep it and fix what breaks next

Nope I'm still sticking with it. That goes without saying tho. I probably will not keep that engine in my truck. I see a swap in the future.

if you don't have competent, honest powerstroke mechanics in your area, I'd cut your losses and get into something else

I saw an F-350 Harley edition truck just like yours a few weeks ago....with a 5.9 CR running dual cp3's and compounds. Just something to think about.
In all seriousness, I hope like hell she treats you good after all the repairs are finally done.

If and when you decide you want a fourth gen, let me know. Depending on the week and the new toy I wanna buy at the time, I might just make you a sweet deal
