That licence frame would for sure work well on that truck haha.

The 6.0 was a great engine when it wanted to work the way it was ment to. Its just that more often then not it didn't want to work. Trust me all the horror stories are true. I know a guy whos had his turbo replaced 3 times in 60,000 miles, a ton of other guys who had the same issues as me. Go to google and type in '6.0 p...' before you finish powerstroke it comes up with '6.0 powerstroke problems'. THeres a guy who works at the pizzia place I go to, he had a 6.0 and before I traded in mine was telling me about all the problems he had, and that he traded in on a Nissan Cube I was like

Did it last year at a local tuning shop that sells Osiris, the owner/tuner is a PRG-caliber guy and his mechanics are pretty good, I'd let them wrench my T if I needed something done that I couldn't do. Anyhoo, he told me that he'll retune the ECU if I ever need to because of additional mods.

Nice fleet you got there, the Ford cleans up real nice!

StLRedrider · 03-09-2010, 05:26 PM

the thing is these wheels wern't cheep either, i think i'm getting them powder coated a flat or gun metal black here real soon! my only concern is that they are a forged wheel and i don't know if they take take the heat from the process. and if they do with they still be as strong?

Titan owner here. About to reach 100k. Time to change plugs, rear end fluid, belt, brake fluid, and tranny fluid again. My truck isn't that pretty, cause I have kids and dogs. But it hauls my boat and four wheelers like nobodies business. I plan on driving it till the motor finally gives in. Btw my bro and pops have titans also. Great truck.

Big trucks are right up my alley! Kind of miss my diesel monster but the Z more than makes up for it. I love the smell of diesel exhaust in the morning though.

Why do you think I traded it in 2 weeks before the warrenty expried? I had every other 6.0 issue but the head gaskets so I figured it was only a matter of time.

I had a lisence plate frame that my ex had made for it. Said "Pimpin' Ain't Easy" Fit with that truck perfectly.

thats the one thing i wish mine had, cab lights. luv the cab lights

370zdub · 03-10-2010, 03:03 PM

On a cube? Damn I would have definitely gotten desperate to do that. I'm pretty sure on the 6.0 you had to remove the cab to get to the turbo to right? That would be such a pain in the *** having to do that three times.
How often did you tow with yours?
