That ice looks awfully dark right out in front of that ford, I'm not buying the story about his buddy dragging his fishing shack out there right before. Looks like a good start!

That ice out in front look very thin to be having even a 1/2 tom pickup on it let along a 3/4 ton with a diesel engine. I agree he should of pushed in in all the way.

I was ready to do that to my 04 6.0 before I traded it. Mine probably would have broke down on the way.

A Cummins would have powered him on through the bottom of that lake and out the other side with no problem.

The 1st picture it looks like he drove over a ice heave, basically a large crack in the ice. These areas of large heaves the ice can be very weak and should be avoided.

I've had a few problems with my 6.0. EGR valve, the solenoid for the turbo vanes, and 2 injectors in 4 years and 42,000 miles. Keith
