I had two 6.0 diesels, a 2004 F250 and a 2007 F350. Both were pretty much trouble free. Traded for a 2012 F350 6.7 diesel, not because of concerns about the 2007, but because I made the mistake of browsing the new truck lot while in for routine service.
If it is something you plan on keeping long term I would consider trading up. The new 6.7 tows great. I can get nearly 20 mpg highway if I keep my foot out of it (which is hard for me to do). I get 10+ towing a 35' high profile 5er towing at highway speed limits. It would do better if I kept it below 65.
Local Ford dealers routinely advertise Superdutys at $12K to $14K off sticker. That makes the sell price a little more attractive. Shop newspapers and local dealer web sites for best deals then get them to compete.
