11 hours in I heard a pop, a whoosh then tons of smoke out back. Still ran but with severe lack of power and a intermittant winding noise. Checked all fluids they were all good.. We ran it about 30 miles to get out of the mountain pass and then on the last
Hill we hit, tons of smoke, then sounds like we were grinding metal and it sounded real bad so we pulled over and towed it to the father-in-laws... No oil left, dipstick was completely dry...

Sorry so vague, I know squat about these engines...

Frustrated in Oregon -
. One problem with your 6.0 and it sucks huh? Ive had my problems with my 6, but it willrun circles around my old 7.3 I had. The 6 is a great motor just gotta take care of it.
