Meh, I owned a 6.0 for 10 years & never had an engine related issue, but then again I never chipped or modified the powertrain in any way.
For years every time I was at a fuel pump & someone else was there with another 6.0 I would ask them if they had lots of issues, it was very rare I ever encountered someone who said they did and 99% of those guys were running chipped trucks.

Lol).

Lol is right!
Funny story, back in 2013, I started a construction project up in the North Slope Oilfields in AK.
One of our subcontractors had a big equipment shop in Deadhorse and, at the time, the majority of the diesel trucks, light and heavy duty were all still pre 2007/08 emissions due to the extremely unreliable service of the new emissions and the conditions the trucks were operated in. 1000s of idle hours, -30 to -50 F winter temps, no load, 35mph max speed limits.
So this outfit had a huge fleet of 6.0 Powerstrokes and LB7 to LBZ Duramaxes. (Because Dodge didn't make a true crew cab long bed truck until 2010)
In the shop, there was 4 lines of light duty engines sitting on pallets. 2 long lines of engines with 15-20 engines in each line and 2 really short lines with like 5 in one line and 2 in the other.
Asked the maint supt what was up with that? He said guess which of the 2 are 6.0nos and which are Duramaxes.
Yup, 400-500% more 6.0s ready to be dropped in or already blown up.
