i just noticed the same thing on our 2008 Sundance, on the door side right at the front cap.

I only brought up the number of headbolts because of the heads now being aluminum. I also understand that the 6.4 has basically the same heads and bolts. I would imagine the EGR cooler is quite a bit different, as well as not needing the oil cooler anymore will help with a lot of the puking...

the newest 6.7 Scorpion has aluminum heads, but it also has more headbolts per cylinder, and a slightly lowered compression ratio compared to the 6.0 and 6.4 engines. The heads also flow air backwards from what has been the PSD norm. intake on outsides, exhaust right in the valley.

i was down at Ford for a design meeting, and there was a brand new F450 sittin in the parking lot. Looks much better to me than the 08 style trucks. As I was leaving, couple guys got in to drive off. SUPER quiet for a diesel. At idle speed, as quiet or quieter than Ford's 5.4 gasser. the...

Thanks Murray. I'm hopin that's all it is. just hoping the factory might shed some light on how they're chained together, and if that one is the lead. I'll be pulling fixtures soon. yeah!

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how the wiring for the lights in the bunkroom is ran. Right now, only one of the lights in there work, and it's not the bulbs. The center light off the switch is not working either. The only one that does is the lower bunk on the road side of the trailer.

as far as the 6.0 goes, i think a lot of the bad EGR valves were more from crud blocking the valve from closing correctly, than an actual bad valve. the whole idea of EGR, along with the PCV dumping oil vapor right back into the intake stream makes for a guarantee of blockage or grief. the PCV...

the 2008+ trucks already have the pyro's plumbed in, so you'd be better off getting one that can already read the extra info from the OBDII port. I know you were not interested in programming, but there is one called the Phalanx/Dashdaq that will read all that info. The tuning can even put in...

I've seen it and the F150 test mules driving around here lately.

Congrats on the new rig Tom, which model did you go with?

Here! Here!

Actually, I just noticed that the brochure pdf was available, which was exactly what I was going to ask for. Thanks Jim.

added 4 more campers just now, we'll be there this year.

when is the Eagle Ridge line going to be added to the Heartland website?

Living in MI isn't much different than PA this time of year. If temps are going to get down to 10degrees or lower, it's a good idea to plug in the truck for the block heater. That will make it easier on the high pressure oil pump, and the low pressure oil pump. The injectors are hydraulically...

Congrats on the new truck, and hope it all works out for ya lefty, you've been waitin on this for a while now.

thanks for the help Jim. I was really wanting to stay longer than one day, but the way the snow was coming down, that was just from that morning. I really did not want to leave that trailer there, it would have been ransacked for sure. I love that truck. Other than the nagging little oil...

It's from deer camp last November. We only stayed one night, since the snow was still coming down, and I didn't want to get stranded up there stuck. Everyone else was leaving that afternoon. awww what the heck, it's in my gallery and I ain't figgered out how to get the link working here...

Diesel - 2.53 in Saline Reg - 1.59 in Ypsi As of tonight.

The diesel is actually in Saline, but the Ypsi stations are getting closer. I hope it keeps going down too.

diesel for 2.59, and regular unleaded for 1.65 here in Ypsi.

International still builds them with TTY bolts, but there was an issue with the torque specs like nhunter said. Even the 6.4 has TTY bolts on the heads, but they are in a different arrangement than the 6.0 to try and hold down better.

There has also been headgasket revisions made, to go along with the proper head torque specs to keep things as they should be.

I wish the 3300FB was available in 2008MY, I would have that one instead of the BHS. Too bad for me, not in a good position to trade up right now :( Really liking the new floorplans though, nice work Heartland!

some shops don't mind tuners, and in fact sell them, while some shops will blacklist your truck for having an aftermarket intake. all depends on the service manager's outlook on tuners/modifications from stock.

If you want to run a tuner, get a DashDaq aka Phalanx system from Spartan Diesel. Much better than BullyDog or Banks. They can even give you tunes so you can remove the DPF and end regen as well. Look 'em up. It will void the warranty if you take it in hooked up with the stuff removed...

I bought one of those collapsible trash cans that I set outside the door and use regular sized trash bags in it. That way I don't have to smell trash, or trip over the can when the kids move it around. I think I'm going to get a second one for returnables too.

You don't chip the Fords per say, instead you reflash the management software with a flash tool. On the 6.0 it is done best by the SCT programmer, with custom tunes by Elite, Innovative, Spartan Diesel, Xtreme Diesel. The 08 trucks have a different fuel management system so it has taken longer...

Camping in Frankenmuth this weekend and there's a BH about 6 sites down from us. I haven't walked all around yet, and the park hasn't filled but I know that there will be at least 3 HL units here this weekend now.

We don't have the SK, we went with the 3300BHS to give our two boys somewhere to keep all their stuff out of the way. So far, the worst thing that has been wrong from delivery was the bunkroom door latch would stick in the door, letting the door swing in the breeze. After one season of camping...

Rick, those mods look great. I like the gen-rack a lot

For a long time, exhaust brakes were taboo on the 6.0 because of the variable geometry turbo functioning as an exhaust brake itself in tow/haul mode. I see now they have the stuff figured out to keep the turbo from overboosting when the brake is used in tandem. Jim, your problem could be...

Another Sundance owner at work towes the 2998 with a 01 Chevy crew cab 2500 and does fine. I tow a 3300BHS with almost the exact same truck, and it squats the rear end down about 4" from stock ride height in the rear, which still gives enough travel to not bottom out on the rear axle. The max...

http://www.rv.net/forum/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/19709963.cfm We just signed up on rv.net and have added our names to the rally in Frankenmuth, MI June 19-22. I asked bagman about posting the link here and he agreed, just in case there are other users here that do not frequent the Open...

Interested, and I might be able to talk a couple other Heartland owners into going as well.

Up to 40 now.

Nahhh, not at all....;)

Uncle Rog, I will have to defer to htneighbors on the chevy side of life.
