Who says its a busted ass truck?
If it was a Toyota you'd be like buy it buy it.

----------

You've also said 7.3s dont like being "putted" around town. Both coworkers dont tow anything and no issues out of either one. 200k on one and 264k on another.
No, there are plenty of Toyotas I would never buy, Im not some brand loyal nut swinger like you are. I needed a truck that I didn't have worry about, hence I no longer own a Ford.

7.3s are fine for putting around town, its the 6.0s that aren't.

Get what you want, if you feel the need to compensate for other areas be my guest.

I don't have to compensate for anything....
And I've had nothing but good luck out of my Fords so why not keep buying them? Never had to worry about any of my trucks.

Tell me about it :rollseyes:

I say go for a 6.0. From what I've seen, other than straight pipes, keeping an 05+ 6.0 stock seems pretty reliable. Tuning and such requires bylletproofing, which I think most shops can do for under 5K from what I've seen.

I've been looking on the forums and talking to the diesel tech at work.
Both have said good maintenance and watching those temperatures (egr, ect, trans, oil, egt) are the biggest things.

oddly enough all the 6.0 fords I've seen with issues have been work trucks, far from something that was ever "putted around".

my neighbor has a 1st year 6.0, and he loves it. it's got some mild performance upgrades ( intake, exhaust & tuner ) and an EGR cooler delete. has well over 100k miles with no major issues.
