Baja Bailey, did the flash your truck with the new update when they did the egr?

Best thing you can do for a 6.0 is SCT Programmer with custom tunes, trucks run so much better then stock, the added power is just icing on the cake. Fords flashes are screwy causing big losses of mileage, more lag, or just not running like it should. Everytime they touch something they seem to screw it up more.

What are guys doing with your trucks ?
I've had 2 F250s with 6.o put over 100k on them with no trouble .
And I don't baby the trucks . Just Lucky ?

Same here. Minor issues.

Tuners are hard on head gaskets.

Yeh you don't have to go excessive, just a good tune, intake, exhaust and you have great power, smooth powerband with torque everywhere, and good mpg. Make a stock 6.0 feel like an absolute dog in comparison unloaded and loaded.
