Diesel Mechanic
Just bought a 06 Ford with 6.0 SD. I live in the flordia Keys and there are no diesel services down here. The nearest city is Homestead which is still small, or Miami big city. Any help with how i go ...

OP thought he got a great deal on his newly acquired 2006 Ford....unfortunately he was NOT aware of the 6.0 PS issues.....first diesel.
OP is probably a bit frustrated NOW and asking for help.....unaware that some valuable info can be gathered at a FORD Dealership....INFO.
But any independent diesel mechanic can 'look' it over BUT w/o tearing into engine a little bit no way knowing IF head bolts replaced.
As for the other issues with 6.0 .....should be able to tell if coolers/egr etc have been replaced
Being the 'KEYS'---lots of diesel mechanics/shops.....marine and truck
so start calling

Your kidding right? It takes longer to pop the pop, walk to the front of the truck and lift the hood than to tell if the head bolts were replaced. It does not require to remove anything.
Also the 05-07 6.0PSD will tell you by a CEL if the oil cooler is getting clogged. Doesn't require any effort.
Then OP is 'home free'
