If you put in studs and a few other things he says they're great.

You just proved the point about the 6.0. Unless YOU add studs and a few other things ($$$).... Hell, the 6.5 TD also had the potential to be a great engine to with some "extra" work.
hate to bang one out from over a year ago but have been reading this thread for a while now "gas vs diesel" and have to say i went through the same issues trying to figure out the "best" for me/us going forward.
I must say in reading this and other thread on forums i believe a diesel, even with the increase maintenance cost, will in the long run, be a better vehicle to own to pull a travel trailer, especially is you are semi full-time traveling, and go out west a bunch.
Now back to the quoted post.. Now, can you imagine how great it would be if Ford had chosen Cummins engines instead of dodge/ram? That would be the ultimate combo of all time and Ford with be the absolute leader in diesel powered pickups in the WORLD.
just sayin.
No , they would have over tuned it and ruined it too. Their's nothing wrong with an International engine.
