Message: [QUOTE="Matt_P, post: 572064, member: 277"] I swapped because I lost faith in the reliability of my 6.0. I liked the way the truck ran with a 6.0 in it but it left me stranded once 6 hours from home, and after blowing headgaskets for a second time in a short amount of miles and cracking the heads I decided to call it quits with that engine. It had 192k miles on it though and the bottom end is still being ran in a buddies truck. Ive also had plenty of issues with reliability of trucks in the past so Ive learned when a good time is to call it quits before dumping too much money. Ive been real happy with the cummins for the last 12k miles Ive had it in the truck. I rebuilt the entire engine for not very much, and it makes decent power so it should be good to go for a long time. I also enjoy the simplicity of working on it, dont have to pull the cab to do anything. The only thing is I wish I would have put a common rail in, getting a p pump dialed in is a little bit of pain.
