The 2007 diesel is low price for a reason, the engine might be close to getting that $15,000 repair to it. . . .
X2 on that. Before you consider buying any 6.0 find out if it has been bulletproofed. If not ask to take the vehicle on a test drive with a Scan Gauge hooked up to the truck. Check the deltas between the engine oil temperature and the coolant temperature. While operating in a WOT situation you should not have more than a 15 degree difference. If the oil is more than the 15 degree spread then you oil cooler is probably on the blink...trouble could be on the way. You will also want to check the voltage level of the FICM (fuel injection control module)...should be consistently above 45.
Many owners have enjoyed a trouble-free 6.0 experience, but buyer beware.
