Message: [QUOTE="Powerstroke214, post: 897677, member: 5738"] Got it through work, $11k 06 ccsb 197k miles lariat 4x4 etc. no sunroof, upfitters or heated seats. Back up sensors, esof, power back glass. [ATTACH=full]126549[/ATTACH] The fuel tank sending unit was bad as was #5 injector, got that fixed so $12k ootd. It was for sale for $13.5 iirc, and we had an 03 ccsb lariat 7.3 w/ 214k mi for $14k Add $4k for studs n what not, and it needs injectors(gonna save my pennies for 175s or 190s). Only thing not "accounted for" so to say is the HPOP itself. Only thing I really HAD to do was the tank sending unit, so I wouldn't run it empty. EGR delete and new oil cooler(I haven't really run it long since the flush, so I don't know if it has affected the cooler) and I'd feel pretty confident in it. But I want more power, so I'll do studs as well. 6.0s are faster and easier to make power from as well, which played in my decision too. My limiting factor power wise will be the trans. I don't want to build it, so I'll size my turbo and injectors accordingly.(want to say 550-600hp area, but obvious if I go over that, I won't complain.) And I'll pray that the trans holds, since it's not towing much/often. The only "issues" that come to mind on the 6.0 is a ruptured oil cooler, and blown hgs, which is a coolant issue in a round about way. Both have issues w/ the oil/fuel system. Maybe 6.0s have more HPOP issues? I don't know that much of the 7.3. I'll agree that the 6.4 can be worse, failed hpfp is big money. But then a tuner and exhaust will put a 6.4 where I want to be with my 6.0(550hp or so). It's a gamble for sure. I didn't want to keep derailing the other thread.
