Here's something to think about.... In the commercial market (box trucks, ambulances, buses, utility trucks) the 6.0 PSD does not sell for a premium over the V10, and often they list for less. Sometimes much less.
Right out of the gate you take a 70HP power hit compared to the V10, but inherit numerous reliability concerns.
That said... A 2007 chassis will be more reliable than older 6.0's, and more importantly the mileage is hopefully low enough to can intercept the key problem areas through key upgrades (install a coolant filter, make sure OEM oil filter are used, and verify the batteries and charging system are in tip-top shape).
