I would pick a bulletproofed 550 rwhp 6.0L over a 6.7L or 7.3L any day of the week and twice on Sunday. In stock form, that is a different story. Once you fix the clamping issue on the top end(head studs) and remove the problematic EGR, the bottom end of the 6.0L is proven to handle more power than both of these engines.

The 6.0L has several problems that cannot be solved with “bulletproofing” such as not enough head bolts per cylinder which can result in failed head gaskets even when studded, a POS bedplate that is prone to leaking oil that requires pulling the engine to repair, and “snowflake” injectors that seem to fail when someone walks by the truck with an ice cream cone. There are several more issues that I won’t bore everyone with the details. I’ve been there owning one, have dealt with many others at my work that were all POS sooner or later and would not wish one on anybody (or almost anybody)! :B

Sorry but the 7.3L was and is light years ahead of the 6.0L.

I have to disagree based on my experiences and what I have seen. Seen many bulletproofed 6.0L at NHRDA events and off the track with well over 300k on them handling more than 450 at the wheels all day every day. Also, don't tell Charlie Keeter this. He thrashed that 6.0L with so much nitrous to win back to back XDP Diesel Power Challenges.

LOL, you should buy one then to experience how reliable they are....been there done that and have the empty wallet to show for it. :M

I have one at our farm/ranch. It was my wife's uncles truck that I bought from him to haul cattle and tractors between properties so I did not have to use mine all the time. It had a little over 330k of hard farm life miles on it when I bought it from him. It doesn't see the road that much besides the back roads between properties and to the feed store in town which is still mostly back roads aside from an FM road for about a mile.
