Had the 6.0 gone over, complete engine bullet proofed, all of the known problems taken care of, bolts replaced with head studs, egr gone, cat gone, all harnesses and about 200 parts replaced and the addition of a custom programed Livewire tuner with 3 custom programs, tow, street and performance. $14000.00 worth of work. Good Sam (my extended warranty folks) paid $2400.00 of the work, the rest was all my doing. Well, picked it up and when I left on the frontage road I pushed the pedal down......OMG! The van took off like a flippin rocket, ten mph to 70 in about four seconds and tires yelling at every gear change.....and that was on the STREET tune! Well, I guess it will tow my trailer better even though it was pretty good before and I can only hope it will make it through a number of years with the 6.0 problems not resurfacing. As far as it getting better fuel economy....probably not, at least not until the smile starts to relax on my face when I'm tooling around town......

Still drivable, no smoke, just no boost at all. Diesel shop needs to look at it, dropped it off yesterday afternoon, could be the turbo, they seem to think it may be the intercooler boots. Guess we'll see. OK van gods, I need to start getting some breaks here.

Should have it back tomorrow. Oh, by the way, turbo boot is what went bye bye.

Watch those tunes, they push the engine beyond it's design, and eventually an early death, I know they feel awesome on the street, but I've not seen one of my diesel guys keep those things out of the shop, it seems like it's always something. If you treat it right, it'll last, but kick it around and it'll make you sorry, they're like a mistress, one of the gold diggin type. | | | Re: My 05 turbo diesel.......HOLY CRAP! | Joined: May 2015 Posts: 81 journeyman | journeyman Joined: May 2015 Posts: 81 | I only paid $1500 Canadian for my 2005 E350 clubwagon with 100,000 miles on it. If I can not get it running this summer I will yank it out and do a reliable powerstroke swap from my 2003. actually if I get it running , I will probably yank it and put it in my 93 2wd bronco the 6.0 makes some scary power when set up right intercooler plumbing should have been upgraded already for 14,000!!!!! should be a warranty repair in my books.
2003 E350 diesel ext clubwagon, rusty and runs mint! daily 1989 E250 diesel clubwagon wife's summer 1986 E150 shorty project....460/E4OD? 7.3psd/E4OD? too many others to list!
