Catch it before it goes and it's about a 700 dollar fix to never be troubled with it ever again.
Personally, I'm glad Ford c*cked it up first time around. People avoid 6.0 powerstrokes because they've "heard" they're a bad design (coincidentally, those people tend to like cool aid too )and it drives the prices waaaay down. The engine isn't a bad design, it's actually very, very stout. The problem is all the crap uncle sam forced Navistar to hang off the damned thing.
If I ever find a clean one that hasn't already popped or has had it's engine replaced I'd be all over it like white on rice and this POS GM would be a burning fireball rolling down a cliff side somewhere.
Modified 6.0 powerstrokes are over 1000 hp now and running with the big dogs if you know what to do and have the cash. Sure, it's not as simple as turning a fuel screw and gaining 100 hp, but nothing is anymore.
Same reason the gm 6.5 trucks are so cheap. Bad rap for injector pumps when it was just a bum electrical module. They had lots of other problems to go with it though...
