All - so we were happily on our way down to "The Gathering" at the Sawmill Training facility in Laurens S.C., to show our new weapons mounting system and my truck made a couple of loud "pops" and then it started running rough so I pulled in to a local Ford dealer and got the bad news that among other things, I have a blown head gasket. So, knowing that these 6.0s are notorious for that, I have been expecting it but just hoped to keep kicking that can down the road a while.
The dealer tech hooked up his diagnostics and found a couple of injectors were not working correctly (and I had just had them replaced). He re-sealed them and hoped that would get us back on the road but no dice. It is still missing like the injector(s) is/are failing.
So we rented a u-haul and transferred our display and inventory and continued down to SC and then back to Ohio. The truck is still in WV. I am waiting to hear what they find. They said it would probably be Tuesday (tomorrow).
I don't want to jump too far ahead but just wondering if anybody here has found a good re-builder for these 6.0s if it comes to that. If the dealer tech thinks I can get away with just doing the top end for now I will probabaly go that route and then look for a re-built and have it on hand. Just want to try to get feedback if anybody has been down that road. The truck is still solid so it is worth putting the money in. I plan on keeping it for ten more years.
Thanks - Joe
