The FICM has been a source of problems for owners of the 6.0. The most common complaints involve hard starting and poor cold-weather starting. Other issues that can be traced back to a cranky FICM are loss of power, excessive smoking, rough idle, and, of course, not starting at all. If you have experienced these problems with your 6.0L Ford, it could mean you have a weak or failing FICM module. The obvious solution is a replacement from Bulletproof Diesel.
Big Power With Nitrous: 300-500hp at the touch of a button
There’s perhaps no easier way to make a little extra horsepower than nitrous—but making big power with the bottle takes some doing. On the plus side, a well-planned nitrous system on an engine that’s designed for it can nearly double the engine’s output: we’ve seen an extra 200, 300, or even 500 horsepower added with the use of nitrous oxide. While it may seem scary, nitrous oxide is one of the best ways to extract every last bit of power out of a diesel engine.
Adding Diff Covers And A Transmission Pan Cooler To Upgrade A 2000 Ford
PML diff covers offer a lot of improvement over the factory covers. First of all, they are made out of aluminum and that means they dissipate heat better than the steel factory units. Second, they carry more diff fluid so that helps keep temperatures down. Third, they have fins on the cover that add cooling. But there’s more!
After the 6.7L Scorpion Motor was introduced in late 2010, it was hailed throughout the 2011 model year as an all-new and revolutionary diesel. While it was—and still is—an impressive engine, even with all the power of Ford behind the development, a few bugs needed to be worked out. One of these bugs was an unfortunate leaking of oil from the new engine’s space-age composite oil pan.
You would think that a bright red Dodge Mega Cab 4×4 diesel would attract plenty of attention on its own. But give it 14 inches of lift, wide 40-inch tires and custom touches both inside and out and you end up with a truck that REALLY stands out in a crowd. This is part of the motivation behind Justin Levasseur’s 2006 Dodge Ram custom build.
The 6.4L trucks can get just about any job done without breaking a sweat, the lack of factory VVT (variable vane turbo) braking and manual control over the automatic transmission can really become apparent when towing heavy or sled pulling. To overcome these issues, BD Diesel of Abbottsford, British Columbia, developed a Tap Shifter and VVT Exhaust Brake
