Although they are getting tired and is starting to run slightly rough because of them. My Brother has a bone stock PROPERLY maintained 6.0 with 200,000 miles and still on the original injectors. Blew a headgasket, proceeded to drive it 26,000 miles and screwed it up bad. My dad’s fault for pulling 32,000lbs GVW up the mountain passes multiple times like a redneck. 6.0 blew up and $14,000 waranty work later it is fixed. Thing is sick.īlew up my 7.3 IDI, do to my fault.
My Brother has a ’05 6.0 King Ranch CCDRW. I have a 7.3 IDI NA, I have an ’05 Excursion with the 6.0. Know what I’m looking for ? A LOW MILEAGE 7.3 POWERSTROKE FROM 1999 TO 2002 !!!!! After I replace the leather seat covers on my truck with new.
6.0 POWERSTROKE EXTREME RACE TUNE MODS
The mods are typical of the 6.0 to prevent engine failures. The settlement allowed me to BULLETPROOF the rebuilt engine. I had 11 “in the dealership” service appointments. Ford rebuilt the entire engine at 45k miles.
The only “maintenance” it ever had was injectors & oil pump replacement at 250k miles. It had an upgraded turbo, intercooler, exhaust & engine managment system. Not as familiar with the 6.6 Duramax, except that they have their own quirks but are still super solid motors. But even the best motors can have an Achilles heel. And this is the mighty 5.9 Cummins! Which I still think is a great motor, had one in a medium duty truck. Can destroy a motor because of a down pin. The newer ones have addressed those issues and are excellent motors.Įven Cummins had the KDP. Again something that should have never been in the engine to begin with. Obviously if it does and it sends shrapnel through the engine then that can FUBAR the engine. But not an super expensive fix if swapped out before they grenade. The biggest issues are again people neglecting the emissions system and not maintaining them correctly or the turbo bearings on the earlier ones. Mostly had to do with dismal fuel economy related to the emissions system and of course people not maintaining the emissions system properly. The 6.4 was based on a very similar artitecture and was much less problematic.
Should’ve came that way from the factory but oh well. I have one and after 14k it is a reliable motor. The 6.0 was the most problematic of all the power strokes. We’ll have more on this latest decision in the future, so be sure and describe to Ford Authority for the latest Ford lawsuit news, Ford business news, Ford F-Series news, and 24/7 Ford news coverage. A separate decision regarding punitive damages is still pending.

Margeson a total of $214,537.34, plus legal fees. A class action lawsuit against Ford regarding the engine was settled in 2013, but that was before this new evidence came to light.Īs it currently stands, Ford has agreed to pay Mr. According to John Koszewnik, who at the time served as the director of Ford’s North American diesel division, warranty repairs on the 6.0L engine ran “as high as $5 million a month.”įord Motor Company offered the 6.0L Power Stroke V8 in the 2003-2007 Ford Super Duty and 2003-2010 Ford E-Series.īefore this latest lawsuit, some owners of the Ford Super Duty with the 6.0L Power Stroke claimed that the diesel engine had numerous issues, including faulty head gaskets, turbos, and oil coolers. In fact, emails between Ford management detailed exorbitant warranty repair costs dating as far back as 2006. Key to this particular lawsuit’s success was evidence that Ford knew about problems with the defective 6.0L Power Stroke V8 for years. The decision marks the first time a case regarding this particular engine survived the appeals process. In September, the California Court of Appeal upheld a ruling by a lower court concluding that Ford engaged in fraudulent behavior when it decided to sell a 2006 Ford F-350 equipped with a defective 6.0L Power Stroke V8 to Charles Brian Margeson. And now, a new development could have major implications for The Blue Oval. Since 2014, one Ford Super Duty owner has argued in court that Ford knew about issues with one of its most popular diesel engines, but decided to sell them to customers anyway.
