There were problems on certain year 6.0s (late 2004 & early 2005) where Ford used a
STC (snap to connect) fitting....the fitting/o-rings eventually leak, draining the .9 qt of oil out of the reservoir - the leak down prevents the HPOP from building the necessary 500 (minimum) psi needed to fire the injectors.

the fix is easy no where near the cost of a reman motor (your prices).

I'm the LAST one to try and talk you out of a Class 8 truck....you can NEVER have enough truck. For a more realistic estimate call Dorian (owner) of PowerStroke Enginuities - Tell 'em Don Rumsey sent you.
It's a 2008 and the Ford dealer wanted to replace everything involved. Jasong put it very nicely in his reply. I've never had to walk out of the woods (home from work) driving a ford but if they are not standing behind there trucks, I got to go another route.
