This is one of the very few issues I've had with the 6.0L (so far). The $450 part stings the wallet a bit, but it could be much worse. The upside is I should be able to turn this part failure into a slight upgrade in HP, Torque, and MPG. Again, it could be worse...

Thats the part that I just replaced in my '06 F350... but I paid $1200 for the factory version (including R&R). I was on the road in So Cal towing the trailer so wouldn't have been able to shop for anything else even if I'd have known there was a better version! The best thing was - it didn't leave me F.O.R.D. -- I was able to drive to a hotel and to the dealership the next morning. So I was happy about that!
