    6.0 hard start

    I tested the batteries already and put new connections on so I know it's not that. And how do I have my FICM tested? Just go to the dealer? Commando, It just has a long crank time but it still starts up and idles just fine there after, no lope, doesn't idle rough, just takes awhile to crank...

    6.0 hard start

    Over the last week or so my 03 6.0 has started hard, it cranks for about 5 seconds or so. Does it while its warm or cold. Anybody know what the issue could be? Also, it does have throw a few puffs of bluish smoke on start up on cold mornings, is this a big deal or no? Thanks guys.

    6.0 EGR questions

    I recently picked up an '03 6.o and just noticed today that the plug in for the EGR was unplugged but I'm almost certain the EGR was never deleted. Is this bad or should I leave it in? How do I know if it was deleted without removing it? Thanks!

    New to diesels from central minnesota

    6.0 PSD head gasket and studs pricing?

    Ok thanks. I figured about that. Is it a job a novice shouldn't even think of doing themselves?

    6.0 PSD head gasket and studs pricing?

    I am new to the 6.0 and have an '03. My truck runs great now but I'd like to start saving to have the EGR delete, head gaskets and head studs done on it before they go and I don't have the money to fix them. It's a job I really don't want to tackle myself.. What's the average cost to have all...

    New to diesels from central minnesota

    Yeah that's the first thing to go. I wouldn't mind getting the bullet proof oil cooler as well and do both at once. Atleast where I'm at I'm allowed to delete the EGR! Some states aren't so lucky..
