I think 6.5 was running a moose for awhile maybe he'll pipe in, mine was starting fine till my mechanic stated screwing with the timing then hard hot starts.
I had a guy offer to trade his 2000 model Powerstroke for my truck and 2000.00, I'll admit I was somewhat tempted even though I'm not much on Fords. The HP and torque numbers look good. Everything I read on them said bullet proof! Best diesel made! ect. But when you really get to looking if you...
