I am a big fan of your videos

I have two 6.0 fords and love them both, one has 97000 the other 61000 miles

I am a true believer in factory parts and great maintence.

any way I got a s&b cold air intake on my one truck, what is your thought on this.

your one video says they are not needed, but do they hurt the engine.

love your videos, great job

@Mr717ROOFER The factory air filter is extremely good, so yours wont hurt but it does sound a bit cooler.

@powerstrokehelp I got a 6.0 and about a month ago my truck started leaking coolant and ford said that the water pump was bad so I had them replace it now a week goes by and it's leaking coolant but not as bad ford says its head gaskets and wants 10 grand to fix it. I don't got the money to spend that right now do you think it's gaskets or did they screw up on the water pump like other mechanics have been telling me. I have no white smoke or loss of power. Thank you for the help

@6whysoserious I'd have to see it to be sure. Do you have an EGR delete kit. It is common for those to leak coolant.

Great powerstroke information in your videos. Seems like you enjoy your work, I've always told people to avoid late model Ford diesels, but now that im more informed I can help people make informed decsions, I'm a cummins man myself, but not everyone is, keep up the good work.

@jankeautotech Dodge cummings is a great set up. My comment when folks start bashing Ford and saying Cummings is better ETC ETC, is actually a question. What is the best truck made? and they ponder for a moment and I come back with "The truck that is paid for in your driveway."

hey i just got the headgasket done on my 6.0

nothing seems wrong with it (idles fine, shifts perfectly, no white smoke)

after watching this video i feel abit skeptical

will this show me if the job was done correctly?

thanks

@neal389 what you could also do is put a egr deleat kit on it and it solve future problems on you 6.0
