The “what” you are using is interesting. Even better is your explanation of “why” , which is very educational for 6.0 owners. Thank you for making a great video.
You've got one concise really nice engine overhaul kit and you take second to none as far as fixing it right because I own one and I'm going to get this done myself I'll be talking to you
YOU are what I’m looking for! I don’t Need 5,000,000,000 HP!! RELIABLE power……I wanta stay on top of Maintenance with Reliability as a pay off. I’ll be watching, Thank You Very Much! (No Videos out there like this)
Love this video bro. I am doing this the exact same thing too my 2006 . And yes you are right Front covers are a biootch to find. Lol I am actually buying everything first before sending to my builder. Can't really afford to buy all at once. But with videos like these they really help with information needed to purchase certain parts. So thank you very much for this video.
I’m doing the same thing man. Stockpiling parts before I tear into it. Thinking about buying used heads and having them tested and machined so I can just swap them out once I’m to that stage.
@JTickleBowling I think it's the best thing to do if you have a backup vehicle. Because paying everything at once can get costly. Buy little at a time. I strongly recommend getting all the sensors new. And oem. Crank sensor. Cam senor. Oil pressure sensor etc etc. It will save you a big headache in the long run if you do it now when the truck is torn down
Love seeing this. Currently swapping my dads 6.0 (studded and kc turbo). He out over 500k on the original but the turbo and head gaskets failed. Love seeing 6.0 videos can’t wait to see more videos of this 6.0 🙏🏽
In my machine shop I like to drill and tap the high pressure oil galley plug. I've seen them push out after a rebuild and you have to pull the cam to replace it.
thanks for the info about to be digging into my dad's 6.0 and try to figure out what's wrong with it though planning on doing a full rebuild once I can gather up all the parts so I can turn it into my work truck because that long bed would be much better at hauling commercial HVAC equipment
Ive had a BPD Air to Oil cooler for years on my truck with no issues. My truck mostly moves parts, tows and occasionally goes to the track, in the 13s 1/4 mile. Is there a point at which the cooler becomes a problem? Or, was it a reliability thing? What should I be looking out for if I should be...
I have also had a BPD Air to Oil cooler for years on my 6.0 with no issues. In fact the exact opposite my oil and coolant temps are much lower and also don’t seem to even rise as much under heavy loads as they did with the stock set up so I’m not really sure what he is talking about. I also don’t see how he has addressed the design flaw of the stock oil cooler being the primary oil filter. Also how expensive it is to change out this part. I changed out two before I switched to the oil to air system and have never looked back. To each their own I guess.
@@zeuswwr6295 Yeah, same here. I have seen where other kits use the stock oil cooler, but remote mount it. Which, I think is cool, but you still only remove so much heat, and your dependent on engine coolant to do it. So, the delta is smaller. If there really is a problem, Id like to know before I get bit. You know how it is with these trucks, you really have to have your ear to the ground for possible problems.
Just been my experience with them. Not a fan of the price, the extra parts, prefer liquid cooling, etc. However, I'm also a mechanic so changing an OE cooler isn't a big deal to me. To each their own.
What does a kit like this run without labor? I have an 07 6.0 I've been thinking of rebuilding soon. Would love to drop it off to you but I'm up in michigan unfortunately.
@@gunz_n_bikes171 6.0 was 2003.5 to 2008. Warranty was 5 year 100,000 mile warranty. They're ALL on owner's responsibility now. If you have one and it's runs take good care of it is my advice.

Theyre great trucks with a bit of work!
You wouldn't need that blue tube connecting the coolers if you just delete that crap from the start and make it run right
Great content. Just bought a core to rebuild. 👌🏼
Thank you! Let us know if we can help with the parts for your build 🤘🏻

Shoot us a call at the shop and we can get you a quote and the parts!
@@FrankBUILTperformance will do I appreciate it! Looking forward to seeing the rest of this build, keep em coming!👍
How much you spend in all the parts I have 250 2007
What’s the cost on rebuild
Are you'll still doing this build?
I have a 2006 6.0 powerstroke diesel can i drop my engine off for a rebuild?
Yes I do. I actually have a full 6.0 engine about ready to sell.
You still have that 6.0 engine?
@@KevinMartinez-yk6uj yes I have one in stock
@FrankBUILTperformance do you have a contact email?
@FrankBUILTperformance what's your contact information for the motor
How much for the level 4
If i do it my self?
Shoot me an email info@frankbuiltperformance.com I can put together a full detailed quote!
What machine shop did your connecting rod bushings?
Enoch Motorsports
@@FrankBUILTperformance nice. Do you cover measuring bearing clearances or piston to wall clearances in the video?

Where is your shop located
Vegas
@@FrankBUILTperformance what’s the name of the shop
@@michaelward3700 sin city diesel & offroad
Fuck that center arm rest.
I wonder how much money was spent on this 6.0?
I was about $18k into it, including buying the truck. Not counting my labor & of course parts at cost.
Sad thing is you can bullet proof that motor to a T. If you tune it; it voids all warranty work. Best advice pass on 6.0
Meh, I warranty them with tuning as long as it’s approved tuning.
@@FrankBUILTperformance hmm. Guess so, what is the approved tune?
What warranty work? It’s 2023?! They stopped that engine in 2007
6.0 has been out since 07 warranty has been over since like 2015 lmao

You can't compare a gasser to a diesel, 2 completely different engines. A 6.0L is a great motor if it's done right and maintenanced right
20k that's big money 💰 just for a engine
I'd have to really think about it 🤔
