I've seen seals on the turbos go out after 30,000 or so on 3 county fire trucks and one BLM fire truck.

Hmmmmm....I've never seen a seal failure. Only vanes sticking and one that snapped the impeller.

That's why people swap Cummins 12/24V into those trucks. :6 ---- a Powerstroke. :P

The 7.3L's are solid ----. I think that International is a great contirbutor to the Ford stocks being the lowest ever due to the 6.0L.

It's actually pretty common. Alot of guys on the diesel forums have Cummins swapped Fords. Take that Ford. :P

I love my 6.0l, I have seen many guys kill them by being retards but I have seen the same done to a cummins. Making big power is easy, making big safe power takes a little more money.

Think of a stock d series on 15 pounds then bitching when the ring lands let go.

I have to admit that the 6.0l runs ------- hard, even stock. 6.4l are even better, especially with the DPF removed. 6.0l tricked out like highroller54's I can only imagine.

What is your mods list to date?
