    2005 F550 6.0 hydro-locked...now what?

    This truck has less than 100k. It has never gone over 15k miles without major issues. That's why the shop feels just putting another band-aid on it is not the thing to do. I say, rebuild top half, with studs and delete. I'm kinda stumped on the over boost and limp mode. I know how to keep the...

    2005 F550 6.0 hydro-locked...now what?

    So...we have a flatbed, running mostly empty, that needs help. The $ have been adding up, and we need to fix it once and for all; A) Do we put in a junk yard motor? Add studs, head gaskets, delete, upgrade the turbo, with Ford injectors? B ) Buy a long block or short block? From who? And...
