I had a 6.0 for 10 years. The electrical around the engine gave me troubles. the engine itself was good up to the day I sold it

Jeep guys pay big $$$ to have a drive line like that. It will handle 42's no prob.
A good buddy has a lifted older Cherokee. It's insane how small the front axles on those are. Looks like a friggin toothpick

35's is pushing it for the dana 30 front axle that the cherokee comes with. 33s if it has lockers.

You’re kind of an Askhole, eh? 🤣
Sometimes for sure! Advice on this one seemed 50/50. Talked to a couple really good mechanics who are friends of the family. They said they are great engines with the right upgrades. This one has most of them, so should have a pretty solid truck once I go through it.

If not, for how much I have into them I'll do a Cummins swap or part them out

I feel like you're stringing us along here. First it was old M-series iron and now a crew long 6.0 F350. Next it will be a marathon sled deck. You're building a nostalgic ultimate 2007 sled and rig setup aren't you?

Bingo. I don't like the current reality so I'm regressing 20 years. Listened to a bunch of old 90s music last night that I had forgot about. Was frickin awesome

My dad has an 03 with over 400000kms stock except egr delete. Been good except gone through lots of injectors over the years. Don't go even 10kms past oil change and must use archoil oil additive or they start terrible and eat injectors. Now that I found that additive I wouldn't be that afraid to buy another 6.0

Hotshots secret works well for this as well. Their stiction eliminator works well.
