Re: What, (if any) are the known problems with the 2006 Ford 6.0 PS
Well, aside from all the engine problems and a weak transmission, and being a Ford what else do you want to know Dean???
Now before I get flamed here, if the 6.0 is such a great platform, why are they abandoning it to run a 6.4 (or possibly a 6.6) with twin turbos???? Talk about out of the frying pan and into the fire. Expect to see a few trucks burned to the ground with the heat that the twin turbos will generate. Just as Cat about the trucks they burned down with their wonderful twin turbo ACERT engines.
I am kind of biased however as I've always been a GM guy and do work for the Allison dealer here in town, but with all the problems I've heard of with the 6.0, I'd buy a Dodge (did I just say that out loud?) before I'd go with a 6.0 Powerstroke with the Junkshift, I mean Torqshift.

Re: What, (if any) are the known problems with the 2006 Ford 6.0 PS
Haven't followed the 6.0 real close but I heard Ford was telling Walls Street a month or so ago that their profitability for 2005 was in the tank due to "unforseen" engine warranty
costs. Word was that it was 6.0. I heard Ford agreed not sample 6.0 customers for their Dealer Satisfaction Surveys as some dealers were threatening not to order them. Perhaps a
Ford rep can chime in on this?
Had dinner a few weeks ago with a IH dealer who was thinking about selling his franchise due to the potential liability he believes he will be facing due to 6.0 and IH wiring issues that have been going on. In regards to the twin tubro heat, wait till you see what 2007 emission systems bring. Cooling system performance in most OEM's are being pushed right now and when they push more cooled EGR in the motor it is even getting warmer , not to mention more soot in the engine The level of engineering put into some of the chassis designs sometimes makes you wonder On the plus side by 2007 the exhaust on some trucks will be actually cleaner than the air in some cities!

Too late now, just bought 2006 F-350 4x4 Crew Cab yesterday! I guess we'll have to see how well it does.
Thanks for the input guys.
