Asking a question like that is going to bring out the haters. Most folks who can't, won't, or don't know how to turn a wrench or follow maintenance schedules (especially coolant changes) don't have good experiences with that engine.
I'm a fan boy and I love mine. Best truck I've ever owned, and I like it better than my old 2000 7.3. I'm at 180,000 right now. Yes I did spend a few thousand on head studs, Upgraded oil and EGR coolers, and a few other things. I did this before trouble happened, and now trouble has never happened and it has saved me a ton of money and aggravation. The Torqshift transmission is a very strong and nice shifting transmission.
Go to the 6.0 forum on www.ford-trucks.com if you want real and true information on this truck.
This is simply not true, and more internet babble that gets passed around.
Not saying this is the truck for you, but it's pretty easy to find a used one at a very good price, and there are some things you can do to eliminate the known problems which will give you a very reliable and solid truck; possible cheaper than another brand diesel truck; and in my arguable opinion a better truck than the rest.

The 6.0 was the engine that caused the lawsuits between Ford and International. Ford actually argued in court that it was a bad engine.
