Dont let the anti 6.0 folks get ya down. Yes with a couple of thousand you can have your truck upgraded. I spent around $4000 for my studs, head gaskets, BPD egr, ford oil cooler, blue spring, and some other maintenance stuff. Wish I had know about the billet BPD water pump to replace the plastic one, maybe a newer FICM, but that is about it. Just saw an ad for the BPD inlet!
Anyhow for the $8000 you are guestimating you can have a lot done. If not a total R&R of seats, look at LMN trucks for seat covers, carpet etc. As to the guy saying to save the $20K and buy new, is he going to cover the $7-800 monthly payments for ya for 6-7 years? Investing in your truck or buying new is a **** shoot. Many new/newer trucks are having their own set of issues to deal with. So do what is best for you, maybe at the mileage you have a new HPOP and injectors along with glow plugs may be in order if you go the total BP route? Again you and your mechs call. If ya want to travel a little I can set ya up with the guy I used?
