SloeJoe, your post looks like a pretty cunning "for sale" ad minus the price..
But for the record, you can't pay me enough to take any Ford 6.0 Diesel engine off your hands. Even if the non Ford fixes to make it bullet proof have been done, if it wasn't done properly that engine is a expensive time bomb waiting to eat up a boat load of cash in repairs..
That is not including the PA/rust belt rusting issues which are a real buzz kill.. I had a 06 F250 with gas engine, engine ran fine, when I sold it, but I could not keep up with all the rust repairs, silly things like hose clamps simply rusted off, the entire bed frame members needed replaced ($800 in materials alone not including labor)..
OP has a 2013 and moving back to 2006 is like going back to the stone age in engine and transmissions, there has been major improvements in HP, TQ and longevity since 2006..
