Wonder what happened to Treefort today? Maybe he got confused by the thread title change and he's lost in cyberspace

 

maybe he's knocking on the DTC's door 'bout them GTii warrants...

 

EVs decided to take an afternoon rip

Do we need to do this after sending that email?

 

Thanks for the reminder to buy some long calls

 

Did you mean $FSR?

 

ya

 

Friend across the street had one about as built as could be for a streetable truck. Garbage stock. Beautiful when built. One time his dad was borrowing it and a wheel locked up on his woodchipper (tree guy for a living, 4bt powered not a little rental) and he didn't notice until a mile or so down the road when the guy in the chip truck behind finally got him to pick up the phone lmao. There was some crank or cam sensor that would die like twice a year and was awful to fix without pulling the front axle but other than that, once the engine is built up they are way more truck than they get credit for even built

 

How many miles?

I loved my 6.0L which was studded and had the bulletproof EGR cooler on it. I never encountered any of the big mechanical issues with it like a lot of others had... but I was having a lot of electrical problems. it was eating cam, EBP, ICP sensors.

The engine harness had chafed through

 

That's how i remembered my neighbors being early on. Wiring was okayish but there was no space in the engine bay so every sensor/solenoid would overheat or just die and was a PITA to get to

 

My grandpa had a 6.0, and it got used hard. Hauling a camper and towing a boat. It blew up precisely at 100k miles.

So he went out and bought another 6 liter...

Meanwhile my dad's 7.3 has been running fine since 2003

 

Yeah, I was wasting so much time getting stranded by and chasing electrical demons

 

oof. mine had 335k mi on it when I sold it

 

ended up with payments that cost less than what I was spending on 6.0l parts and stopped giving up all my weeknights to keep it running LOL
