I am not a ford guy but I am in the diesel world hip deep with all brands, if you can buy a 6.0 that has had the EGR system already taken care of along with new head gaskets they are really a pretty good engine after that, the duramax engine is quite powerful and pretty dependable but parts and labor will kill ya if needed, some folks won't even look at trucks that are more than a few years old ( why I will never know ) but a dodge from 91.5-98.5 which takes in two body styles but still has the 12V mechanical pump cumins would be my choise for a truck to get you there and home, parts are better priced and most any diesel shop or farmer can work on them with no problems. I have had 4 trucks of this vintage all went well over 200k before I sold them with zero engine problems, they are not quiet, the truck it's self has a few problems but they are hard to beat.
