Earthroamer 6.0 powerstroke, how well is it surviving?

[Rosco]

I wonder how the new Ford Earthroamer is making out. I had read the TDR article a couple issue's back where the owner explained how he was switching over from a Dodge 2500 to a Ford 450 or 550 for his new truck. His reason was he needed the extra payload the Ford offered.



Also, if my memory serves me correctly his new 2003 Ford had a 6. 0 Powerstroke under the hood. Now I know for sure, I would be pretty ticked off, if out in the middle of nowhere, I ended up with a crankcase full of diesel, romp romps, injector failure, a truck that won't start, dead pedal, or any of the other 6. 0 ailments.



I know this fellow wrote articles for the TDR but I don't know if he is a full fledged TDR member or "former" member. If someone know's how his Ford is holding up please let us know.

I haven't gotten around to reading the article yet, but there is one in the latest issue of Powerstroke Registry (PSR).

Earthroamer is now building his custom "expedition campers" based on the 6. 0 F450/F550 for sale to the general public, I don't think you will hear much bad news about a truck he is trying very hard to sell a lot of

I was sitting at an intersection the other day here in town and he passed by. Ford or not it was a very nice looking rig. I have seen/been in that camper (when it was on the CTD) and it is pretty slick. Hopefully the engine works out for him. You hear a lot of horror stories about the 6. 0 but there are also many many out there that don't have problems (not that I want one).

Not only that I bet Ford would pay him a pretty penny to keep his mouth shut anyway, although they wouldn't ever admit it... . Just my opinion...
