That's what I have now, agree on everything except for the fuel comment, mine only gets about eight mpg.

The 7.3 was rock solid! On a cold morning they would knock,beat,bang,smoke then run all day!

My neighbor has a 6.0 and after he got it fixed it is a great truck. Too bad you have to spend nearly $8K to get them there though.

Like you said the 6.0 is awsome after you spend a ton on them.

Never done a 60 Series but I imagine it can't be that bad. All the Detroit's I have ever messed with have been the old two stroke screamin demons.

Look back on the last page at the video I linked for reference (note: I am NOT one of the guys in the video, the first thing you do with a Detroit that hass been stood up a while is free the rack up!)

The 6.0 has a double had full of orings in them any one goes bad your down. Head studs are a must! High pressure oil pump will be next! The list just keep going. But they are some running sobs when done right! I'll keep my cummins!

It's funny but its the truth

 

[jake wells]

yep but my 7.3 didn't have a injector problem like the duramax LB7
mine didn't use any oil or leak anything but it smoked a little when you went over 12,000 lbs on the load.

 

[Milkman31]

Randy, this is what happens to a Detroit when you set the rack too tight or it is stuck. It gets good around the two minute mark.

Joe

A good co2 fire extinguisher would have been handy!
