To make this engine not break down on a regular basis you need to do as these guys stated, but its illegal and costly. Any tampering with the egr will be illegal, do you want to have a truck with an emission violation?

Unfortunately, that IS the ONLY way to save these engines from absolute failure and not cost you thousands of dollars to fix. Among other things that are prone to regular failure.

Yeah its a cool truck.

If I could do it again I would never have bought this truck with a 6.0l in it, I would have been better off with a V10. Diesel isnt cheap anymore like it was in '04 and never will be again.

Get your wife an F150, trust me you will be better off in the long run.

The 6.0l is just too expensive to keep running.
Buy a truck you can just drive and not one you have to spend money on to make it drivable.

Just remember one thing, every 6.0l is a ticking time bomb that costs way too much money to fix anytime anything, no matter how small, breaks on it.

Thank you.
