Putting a 6.0 into a Dodge would be like putting a Durapad into a Dodge too..I'm with everyone else either buy a 7.3 powerstroke already a ford or do a Cummins swap and be done with it. Tho it would be interesting to have a dodge w/ a 7.3 in it.

I wouldn't put a power-****** Into anything. Ford made that mistake to begin with. Cummins swap all the way. Don't waste your time.

I'd rather swap in a Jetta TDI engine than a powerjoke...especially the 6.0, aka 6-point-slow.

It's funny that everyone slams Ford for the PowerStroke, when until recently, it was made by International.

Yeah but it was Ford's fault for allowing the engine to be put in their trucks...

It's the government's fault for making manufacturer's do stupid things like implementing EGR. Without EGR the 6.0 isn't such a bad motor.

If it's the government's fault, it's really our fault, right?
