Jet Engine Sounding Ford 6.0 Powerstroke Turbo Diesel

[82bigmike]

if you have ever driven the two engines for extended periods you would know the 6.0 is far better than the 7.3 ,you dont know shizz about engines and your 7.3 will break down.you know as much about navistar as you do about the female orgasm.

[cowboyman35]

@82bigmike i have driven both motors and the 6.4l powerstroke and i own the 7.3 with a 6spd manual and ts chip. the 7.3 is most reliable and was the best motor navistar ever built. i know more 7.3 around here with more than 500,000 miles and put to hard work everyday with no problem but the 6.0 that just daily drive bust head gaskets all the time. the 6.0 is powerful bc of the turbo. you dont have to listen to me i'm just stating my point of view and im a powerstroke mechanic

[1972JICase970]

sick liter lol

[blampa]

I came here to see an F350, now I'm nursing a chubby.

Damn that truck sounds awesome.

[kinkfreebird96]

kool video!!

[1979chrisjones]

6.0 are better engineered when head studs are done will blow the doors off a 7.3 once done even before you just have to woory ! lol

[hemimofo111]

he prob put an 03 turbo on it and that truck has no plates

[PSNCnation]

7.3 is my preferance

[4rdt0ugh08]

It's like the 6.0 breaks down and the 7.3 keeps going. In the beginning lol. Nah, I am kidding. The 6.0 is my favorite diesel.

[FordOffroader101]

does anyone else think they have way to many stoplights up?

[ronzandroid]

That's sick sounding.  I went with a 4" pipe and it was pretty loud, but not loud enough.

[lomira123]

are you in Wisconsin?

[mk37mgteboy]

I am so jealous of the sound of the 6.0! But I will still take the reliability of my 7.3

[mrb24681]

@mk37mgteboy very little work is needed to maybe the 6.0 as reliable as the 7.3. i love both motors i happen to have a 6.0 though

[zanjani13]

dont like that turbo sound. got JUNK???

[mrb24681]

@zanjani13 better sounding then any other turbo out there

[zeal117]

Lol. It does kind of sound like an idling jet engine.

[ReFLeX239]

Cool sounding turbo but bad ford engine!!

[ComicalFerret]

03 turbo is a different turbo than the rest of the 6.0s

[OLO420]

sounds like the guy has a 4 or 5 inch exhaust and took the baffel out of the turbo. Here in iowa city theres a guy that drives a white f350 and thats what he did 7 inch stack straight piped from the turbo and took the sound baffel out of his turbo, i hear that truck from blocks away is so sweet sounding. theres another guy with a duramax that did that to and oh man that duramax is BADASS!

[Hemihappy]

@OLO420 I don't think the 6L has a baffle. My 03 is just straight piped and it sounds just like that!

[60POWERSTROKE73]

My 03 6.0 sounds like that. But I think mine is louder lol

[cowboydan86]

sounds like my 7.3

[chevymonte1]

sounds good, but im not much on fords. born nd raised a chevy boy.

[oney135]

anybody else notice it had no tag 

[atomichurley]

bloody yank tanks

[Vorsprungdurchturbo]

He got a stovepipe for an exhaust... :-)

[cipmars]

That guy's got a turbo the size of my toolbox.

[propanemower13]

The reason it sounds like it is it has a VGT Turbo. Which stands for variable geometry turbo. There are vanes that direct the exaust on the hot side of the turbo. The faster you go more vaccum is pulled which makes those vanes direct the exaust on the turbine which in the end you get faster spool up and more power and boost And most imortant less Turbo Lag

[floppycock9]

pos 6.0

[GOUGH1918]

ford. nuff said

[MrYamaman123]

friggin rights it does :)

[TotalTQ]

fuckin' nice. too bad you didn't have yours and we could have gotten a race:)

[pj1091]

defiantly straight piped and it sounds like and 03 or 04

[lyaoyas75]

That does sound sexy but too bad the 6.0l is prone to failure....gimme the 7.3 any day of the week.

[Intelpentium54321]

@lyaoyas75 i heard that the earlier ones only had problems, then after that they resolved the issue.

[lyaoyas75]

@Intelpentium54321 They resolved a few of them but the 6.0 is just not built as well as the 7.3. Check out powerstrokehelp's channel. He specializes in powerstroke engines and I learned a lot from his videos. Some things were improvements over the 7.3, but those improvements are just not work the trouble. Watch the series entitled 6.0 vs 7.3(its a 6 video series), I am sure you guys could use the information he posts.

[Hemihappy]

@lyaoyas75 The main down fall of the 6.0 os the EGR system compounded with the TTY head bolts. I drive a 6.0 and I wouldn't trade it for anything. They are so much more powerful than the 7.3 stock to stock. A properly cared for 6.0 can be very reliable. Now that people know how to prevent their issues I think they get a bad rap.

[lyaoyas75]

@Hemihappy I will agree the 6.0 do have a bad rap. And I am sure it is understandably why. But by the time you spend the money to "bullet proof" the engine is it really worth all that trouble? To get a 6.0 on in more reliable state it costs thousands of dollars(unless you can do some of the work yourself). The head studs alone are what $500 and that is just cost of parts, labor will KILL the non-mechanic. You are looking at probably $5,000 to get a 6.0 to a more reliable state.

[Hemihappy]

@lyaoyas75 Well I guess it is all in how you look at it. A proper running 6.0 will pull just as well as an early common rail Cummins. For me it is worth the extra cost simply because the Ford Super Duty platform is hands down the best truck on the market. I agree that the 6.0 is not the most reliable engine but it also beats the heck out of all of these new emissions choked contraptions that are in the new trucks.

[lyaoyas75]

@Hemihappy Now that we can agree on. The Super Duty is the best overall platform. And if you have the extra cash, you can definitely make the 6.0 a badass engine that will last...

[Hemihappy]

@lyaoyas75 Yes! I bought my Super Duty for the truck and not necessarily the engine. Now that being said I have 91k trouble free miles. If I wanted a trouble free engine I would have bought a Cummins and watch the truck around it fall apart piece by piece lol. I own a Ram too and it is literally disintegrating in every way. And when the time permits my 6.0 is coming out and getting studded, egr delete , bigger injectors and a tune. Then I should be ready to roll!

[compactc9]

@lyaoyas75 I know, they say they worked out the problems, but at least from my dad's experience working on ambulances and other city trucks with them, I don't know if I'd trust them too much. The 7.3s are a great engine though, and I've heard really good things about the newest all Ford made diesel.

[mrb24681]

@compactc9 upgraded egr cooler, delete egr, arp head studs and the 6.0 is good, if you really want to make it bulletproof put in an aftermarket oil cooler and coolant filtration system and the truck is as good as any out there period

[spaatzbound]

@lyaoyas75 eh, its prone to failure if you dont fix some things here and there

[mhunt13104]

I agree it does sound like "Big Dirty."

[TheAlexManVideos]

@mhunt13104 Aw look, you can tell.

[mhunt13104]

@TheAlexManVideos Aw GFYM!

[nathanreed94]
