question about the 6.0L diesel - Diesel Forum

hornythrony · 10-11-2006, 10:36 AM

hey i just picked up a 2004 6.0L diesel and was wondering if anyone has seen a web site or any articals about putting it into a older ford like a 92?

Your post is not real clear..I think you are saying "I just picked up a 2004 6.0L ENGINE"...If this is the case..I think you would have some major modifications to make..first thing comes to mind is the transmission hook up problems..unless you got the tranny that came with your 2004 aqusition...but even then I think you'd have to do some serious mods...JMHO

Get the COMPLETE wiring harness and control modules from another truck, and have fun with the dash gauges.

As far as I know no one has done it. I looked at doing this but then I woke up [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] Sell it and spend it on mods. You will be much happier.

yeah but thats not as fun and if i do that i cant say ive got a 6L under the hood truthfully

Plus you'd be hard pressed to get that 92 to run as good on an IDI motor. Put that 6.0 in there and you'll be more than happy!

And you don't think you're going to have to spend alot of money just to shoehorn that stock 6.0 INTO a '92 model?! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]

I imagine it will drop right in, but doing the wiring will be the real chore. It hasn't been done for the same reason that IDI to 7.3 PSD conversions haven't been done much. Too much of a headache. Actually, I've always thought if you could find a PSD used in a stationary engine application (like a generator. They DO make them) that you might have better luck with the electronics, since they would be simplified.

Yea,wiring would be a {Censored}.On top of that the Sick Point OH ain't the most Reliable of Lemons.....I mean engines..
