The 6.0 liter V-8 Diesel introduced shortly after the the 7.3 was retired by international and with the Ford torqshift transmission and the new an improved 6.0 was supposed to be highly advanced putting out more power and reliability and it did so in out selling its competitors in the diesel light duty department. However the 6.0 proved to not be so reliable the engine was recalled several times for problems such as the egr cooler failing, numerous sensors failing, turbocharger failure and blown injectors. These are just a few among a long list of others, as far as the egr (exhaust gas recirculation) problems in simple terms the soot build up would cause very high operating temperatures especially under load. The egr also would fail and leak coolant into the exhaust system causing a white smoke to exit the tailpipe. The engines were produced from 2003 to 2007 and even by 2007 all of the kinks
were still not worked out and in 2008 an new 6.4L Ford diesel motor was introduced. Above is A 6.0L blowing white smoke indication egr failure
