my wifes boss just bought an 07 250 6.0 50k on the clock because he has a HUGE boat. i was talking to him and hes thinkin about doin something to try to gain a little more power and economy. said he is only getting around 13 mpg, i recomended a fresh oil change, fuel filter and air filter to start. i dont know anything about the 6.0 but i know on my 7.3 there are alot of easy DIY mods that can be done. can the 6637 be put on the 6.0? what about a chip? straight pipe or possibly a quiet higher flow muffler? any help would be appreciated!! i wanna get him hooked!!!!
open exhaust always helps, the 6637 will fit with some mods but its no use, the stock system will handle 500hp. I would do a chip and exhaust and see what he want to do from there.
just remind him if he's guna tune it he needs to put in a set of gauges, i would recommend a tune, egr delete, studs, Mystik 10w30 Synthetic oil, make sure he uses a ford oil filter not some jobbers brand
1. Head Studs
2. EGR Delete
3. Custom Tune
4. Exhaust
5. Gauges (Fuel Pressure, Oil Temp, Water Temp, EGT, Trans Temp)
6. Second Mortgage to pay for repairs
is all that really needed? dude sells insurance, not a gearhead. can he do exhaust and a chip and be ok? the long skinny one will never touch the floor, ill never drive it!!!
It's up to him. Cheap and modded 6.0s don't go hand in hand.
Fact: The EGR cooler will fail given enough time. A tuner will increase the chance of blowing head gaskets (considering they pop while stock). If you put a tune on the truck it is important to monitor the vitals of it by watching Fuel Pressure (which will help your injectors live longer), Water/Oil Temp (can tell you alot of different things such as oil/egr cooler problems, headgaskets, etc.).
So it's really up to him. In order to run a tune for any length of time and not have the truck explode you need to have these other mods IMO.
