I have been in a chipped dirty max though, that truck would move!

6.0s get such a bad wrap for no reason...left alone they would likely never have issues...and the factory head BOLTS....only had issues on the 05-05.5 model trucks and was due to increased cylinder pressure with an aftermarket tuner exceeding its limits. The Egr delete isn't even necessary if you keep up with routine maintenance. Overheating is what causes the cooler itself to crack. I have tuned dozens of those trucks with no issues. And I would much rather have a 6.0 over a clattering ass 7.3!

Only that sucks with your 5.4 is the damn spark plugs. Fuck that shit.

My side came out fine because I was careful, the other side not so much.. Lol
Teacher was like "it keeps turning but won't come out??" I was like "told ya, that one would break, now you gotta hellacious job to do"
He insisted I was wrong and it was the wrong size socket and the nut was rounded. I lol'd and watched him struggle.
He never said anything after he found he found out I was right all along.. 2 weeks later his ass was fired lol!

Originally posted by sspstang View Postlol, nice! Yeah you have to spray them let them sit for a few hours, and then crack them over. Spray them again, and let them sit over night. The biggest mistake people make is if they get tight when you are taking them out, the get mean with them, and they break. All you do is tighten it back up and repeat process. Lucky for me, I never had any issues.
Mine came out fine and fast lol.
