I'd buy another 6L. No thought at all. Never left me stranded, can't same the same about those I know who own other brands. ALL or them when they break will cause you to check the balance on your Visa. Not into repairs not covered by a warranty...buy a new truck, not into getting your hands dirty....buy a new truck.

Just be sure to buy it cheap because you will not get much for it when resale time comes. In fact I had 2 separate dealers say that they would not take my 2003 6.0L on trade because they are such a tough sell and are a liability for a reputable dealer. I had 3 others offer me anywhere from $8-10k for it and one of them told me he would offer $25k for it if it was a 7.3L. The dealers that said they would take it said they would send it to auction and not put it on their lot. I put it on Craigslist for $15k and not one call. The truck was in mint condition; it was a F-350 DRW Supercab 4x4 Lariat so also a very desirable truck with the right engine.

I'm sorry but those numbers speak volumes. And in regards to the other brands, they are much more reliable in those years hands down. Anyone who thinks anything else is truly kidding themselves; the resale value of them compared to the 6.0L tells the truth. Like I stated before having a truck that doesn't require constant work/worry is priceless and makes for much more enjoyable vacations!

It would be one thing if the 6.0L had one or two weak points that required correcting but there are so many weak points that one of them is bound to get you sooner or later! I even considered swapping the engine for a Cummins but decided to go with a truck with a bigger cab in the end.
