Funny, I was just given an offer of a 06 F350 DRW 6.0 w/lots of extras my 99 F350 7.3 doesn't have; Lariat trim, 4x4, FX4... Anyway we got the 99 from him two years ago and a few months back he went to trade in the 06 for a new F550. He never heard of the 6.0 issues, never had them, but the dealer explained that they have repaired a lot of 6.0 and didn't really want his trade. So he kept it and kinda offered us a trade; he's the original owner of both trucks. Told us he didn't want to give us a bad truck, but thought it was worth more than the dealer wanted to give. Right now I'm, sticking with old, loud 7.3, but a 7 year newer truck is tempting...
