I have 125K on my O3 6.0
Things to know:
dont chip it, skip it if it was chipped. International produces that Engine to have 250 hp, Ford changed the electronics to make it 325 which is one the edge for the gaskets.
Oil Changes: its a high reving engine and it shears oil, Follow the severe service intervlas dont stretch it.
The engine was desgned for low sulfur fuel not ultra low that we have today, you propbably want to add a lubrisity agent to the diesel.
Low end grunt: not as much as I would like but its a great highway machine.
For me the engine and tranny have been fine. I have worn out other components towing heavy and on mt roads for 11 years. Turbo at 90k Egr valve at 100K, fan clutch at 100k two fuel pressure sensors at 120k
truck: upper and lower Ball joints at 75K tie rods and bushings at 90k. Now on my second set of rear brake rotors and 3 set of fronts plus on front brake caliper.
