[QUOTE="Snake, post: 500007, member: 97"] I call the 6.0 a domino motor: when one part fails, it often takes out the next in line. In this case, the alternator goes bad, takes out one or both batteries, then the FICM, then at least one injector. If the truck gets to the point where the motor has died, its very probable that your FICM wasn't seeing enough voltage and caused an injector to fail. Are you monitoring battery voltage and FICM voltage all the time, or just with the AE when there's a problem? As mentioned, the alternators on these trucks can be a recurring problem. I replaced my OEM with an aftermarket unit, but that aftermarket alternator failed in just over 2 years. I went with a different aftermarket company, and that alternator was bad right out of the box. I finally put on my big boy pants and bought an alternator from DC Power. [/QUOTE]
