Great work on the videos and channel. Monitoring and Oil, coolant, and trans filtration on a 6.0 are critical. They can get a bad rap, but they're damn solid if a guy corrects a few stock weaknesses and maintains them well. The 6.0 is a 500,000 mile motor all day long if it's taken care of/ - As a side note, the guys at FICMRepair are damn solid resources for any 6.0 owner. They sell pretty much any part a guy could need and the customer service is stellar. They help guys all the time with troubleshooting, OE and aftermarket parts selection, etc. - Plus, if you're going to own/drive a 6.0, the FICM tunes they sell wake the beasts up very nicely. Best of all, they help with fuel mileage!
