Just got home from the dealership with my new 6.0!!! I had a 2000 7.3 that was lightly modded but with 200k on the ticker, i knew i had limited time left on the tranny and other stuff so I just picked up a 2005 FX4 Crew Cab with 69k miles. It's a night and day difference from my old 7.3. I'm looking forward to learning the ins and outs of the 6.0. Just wanted to share my stoke!
funny you should say that......i just got back in from cutting the muffler off lol!! i left the cat on and it's still kinda quiet. as soon as i get a length of 4" pipe, i'll take the rest off and dump it before the back axle. can't WAIT for the SCT!!
thanks guys. the "******* engineering" is just a temporary fix to the stock sound. I'll have a 4" straight on there before too long. it was just too quiet on the way home so as soon as i pulled in....off she went lol
Nice truck for sure. As they said an SCT with some nice custom tunes, your 4" straight pipe and maybe an intake and you will be off to a good start for sure. Headstuds, EGR delete and a few other little preventative maintenance/supporting mods will be good to keep in mind.
I bought an FX4 on Saturday but Ive been so busy at work I havent taken any picks yet. Nice truck, and liek you I hope to learn some more about the 6.0's

you got to take the cab off or pull the motor to do head studs on a 6.0 wtf. That job security for ford isnt it. STUPID!:doh::doh::doh::doh::doh::doh::doh: Thats another reason the 7.3 is awesome. wouldnt trade her for the 6.0 thats fo sho.
thanks for all the comments guys. i'm suddenly trying to find reasons to run errands. i actually just VOLUNTEERED to go to the grocery store..... my wife was like WTF?!!LOLLOL
Still stock injectors and turbo. If I would've thought about it I would've got some tips for the injectors and put them on while we had everything apart. :doh: Oh well. I'll just wait 'till I get some more air.
