No proof ,but I've been told by one of the Mech's at where I bought my '05 Ford 6.0 is that the "New Cleaner Diesel" fuel with super low Sulpher content is the cause. The sulpher in the fuel acts as a lubricant he said,lubing the turbo,inj.& pump...now it's dropped from what something like .5ppm to .005ppm in the last year or so ?very little lube quality...
Taking his advise from when the truck was new I have either added Lucas Fuel add. or 1 gal. hyd.oil to every tank when I fill up to add more lube to the fuel ,maybe I'm just lucky or he's right , 60k and not a hint of trouble, & yea it's chipped to 150hp+

The main thing that is false about this is that the 6.0 liter has been having problems long before the Low Sulfer came out...also how does the fuel lube the turbo
The new low sulfer can cause problems due to it not lubricating as well. For most people you will only see lower fuel milage but for some you will have problems. A good fuel additive is a definite help. I would not use Hyd. fluid. Right now adding two stroke oil is becoming very popular, especially stacked with a good additive. The main fact is that the 6.0 has had alot of problems and as we have see recently so has the 6.4:idea:

6.0 has had some problems,But compared to the amount of them out there they have been relatively low.Belive it or not.
So far i have only seen (1) 6.4 in our dealer with any problems. Oil leak,but then again i see all types of gas engines with oil leaks daily.
I don't care for the idea of the cab having to be removed for repairs on the 6.4 but other than that time will tell how well they do.
All new vehicles have recalls,TSB's & SSM's for one reason or another.
The fuel can lube the turbo because the turbo runs off of the exhaust. If they are lowering sulfer for emmissions, then they are reducing the amount expelled through your exhaust which runs through your turbo.............yada yada yada

Come by my shop some time and I'll give you turbo 101. What goes though the exhaust side of your turbo has nothing to do with the bearings in the turbo cartridge that are lubed by engine oil, and if anything it needing lubing in the exhaust housing due to contact, you need a new turbo anyway.
If your exhaust is lubing your turbo bearings, you've got some bigger problems. Dumbass (thanks again JBB
