Don't know about all this tech discussion, but sure am happy with the '03 6.0L truck I've been driving for 204,000 miles. Am currently 3500 miles from home (in Seattle) on a cross-country trip and have no hesitation to trust it the rest of this trip and the next, and maybe the next.

Starts first turn, burns very little oil between changes, and purrs up the hills, kicking down a gear whenever it needs it. Would certainly like a new truck, the new smell and better mileage, but this 'paid-for' work-horse still earns its keep every day. And we can buy lots and lots of fuel for the cost of a new one. Still dream about it tho' and will keep dreaming until this one gives up ... :) :) :)

Good to hear as my 02 6.0 just rolled 34,500 miles. I will have a long time. That is advantage of living in Seattle(I am in Poulsbo)
The weather is fairly mild so stuff just does no wear out like in
other parts of the country.

HA, interesting - we're sitting at McChord AFB today, heading up to the rain forests tomorrow, and Rainier before we head south.

You got a lot of miles left on that 6.0L if you treat it right ... this one has been well-maintained since I bought it new. It always amazes me, each time I fire it up, it just rolls on over and starts, no waiting, no turnovers, just spark and start. Never have a bit of trouble with it except new A/C two years ago, and a few electronic components (that always wear out too soon). We're in the middle of a trip from Florida/Cape Cod/ Washington, down the coast, Death Valley and then back the southern route. Nothing like trusting your truck ...
