It’s not the best, it’s not the worst, but definitely keep it stock. Just relaying the message.

Actually the 6.0 in these are the same 6.0's in Ford F250 and F350 trucks but somehow our engines don't blow the head gaskets like the Fords do. I had just got rid of a F350 that had a 6.0, 3 blown head gaskets in 3 years(it was completely stock) and didn't know when we purchased the RV it had the same engine and when I found out I was like oh crap here we go again. After some research I found this version isn't prone to the head gaskets blowing and have had heard of several people increasing timing and boost to up their performance with no issues.
