6.0 ford diesel complete junk? really? Why? What did it do? Did you own one and have it just constantly in the shop? did you ever repair a broken one? Did you ever tow one from the side of the road just completely destroyed? The 6.0 diesel was known for cylinder head problems. Meaning problems related to the cylinder heads. Injectors.. In the cylinder heads, head gaskets, Lets fairly compare DODGE CUMMINS from same year... 2003-2006 (FIRST COMMON RAIL CUMMINS) these engines had cylinder head casting problems that dropped the valve seats from the head, and often ruined the piston in that hole. Don't argue this point without an engine machine shop that disputes my claim. I guess Engine machinists seem to know all engine failures and weaknesses and have to fixit. Ask me how I know. Guess what, cummins 5.9 hadvalve seat failures ruining engine, in droves. If I have to I may be able to locate receipts and machine shop statements from a tremendous amount of these CASTING FAILURES. Findme a low mileage 6.0l Ford with a CASTING FAILURE in 10% ratio to the cummins 5.9 commonrail trucks. Head gasket isnot a casting failure. Injector is not a casting failure. Valve seats dropped from cylinder head is a casting failure. A failure at the foundry. Ford 6.0l diesels had a huge cooling system oversight. The radiator cap was a $0.99 piece of junk that failed every 6 months and I have tested 6.0 radiator caps for nearly 20 years, they have never tested good. always fail. Always. That means that coolant boils and steams in the cylinder heads under load, creates hot spots, and causes failures due to steaming coolant. I don't really care if anyone agrees with this. Cummins casting problems go all the way back to the ntc855 that leaked coolant down the side of the bock because of counterbore issues through 1980s and early 1990s. Tear down a cummins and tap the middle cylinders with a ball peen and coolant sprays from between liner and block. If you thinkcummins builds a absolutely perfect product, I guess I have a few I would love to sell you. Unfortunately, if the ford 6.0l was maintained with proper cooling system pressures, proper cooling system maintenance, and proper coolant... They were by far the most reliable vehicles I have ever had the privilege of driving. Maintenance is key. However, No amount of maintenance can fix poor castings, NONE.

Today's Featured Article - A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
