Platform recipes (6)

• The classic emissions-legal 6.0 bulletproof at stock power, using OEM-style coolers
• The full emissions-legal bulletproof: upgraded (round-tube) EGR cooler + external/relocated oil cooler that removes the OEM clog point entirely, ARP head studs with new gaskets matched to dowel size, complete cooling refresh, FICM upgrade, and full high-pressure-oil system refresh
• FICM diagnosis and repair (mode fm-6-0-ficm-failure): the Fuel Injection Control Module's 48V rail sags with age - misfires, hard starts and stiction-mimic symptoms
• Preventive baseline for a stock, healthy 6.0 with no current failures
• Injector stiction repair (mode fm-6-0-injector-stiction): rough cold start and smoking that clears hot - the oil-side story of tired HEUI injector internals plus marginal oil pressure
• For a stock-power 6.0 used to tow, with no full bulletproof budget yet
