[QUOTE="ithumpwheniwalk, post: 1218192, member: 739"] Not sure what broke. Don't really care. I've driven over 30 different 6.0's the majority of them under 1000km on the odometer. Of those vehicles I can think of at least 7 times they left us stranded on the side of the road. We had a 3 1/2 hour commute through a whole lot of empty country, and when you're broke down you're stuck. IMO they're not reliable. These were rental vehicles, and the maintenance was top notch. Our company demanded it, and we usually got the vehicles before they were given to the general public. If the OP is shooting for ~450 or so hp why not a 7.3? Obviously if you're looking for more than that and being reliable, it might benefit to find another engine platform to build... and fwiw just bought a 99 forged rod motor complete, running, and ready to drop in for $300. Can't go wrong. [/QUOTE]
