Were any of them 6.0s?
That'd be a hard NO...lol
Yet , I got a friend sitting next to me here in Montana with a 2007 6.0 with nearly 200K , one injector. Towed his trailer back, and forth from florida up until two years ago when he moved to the Bozeman area here in Montana. Not all were bad, but yes there were many.
And I’ll see your buddy with a good 6.0 and raise you a fleet of 6.0 Flowerjokes next to a fleet of LBZ and LLy Duramaxes. Where inside the shop, there is (well, was, those trucks are now buried in the Prudhoe Bay landfill or someone’s beater farm truck somewhere in the continent ) a line of about 30 6.0 long blocks some dead, some rebuilt next to a line of a half dozen Duramax long blocks.
It’s ok to swallow your brand loyalty once in a while to not look a fool.
I personally like 3rd Gen Dodge diesel trucks for their reliability. I would never try to sell you that 47re or 48re transmissions behind most of them were or are anything more than hot garbage. Sure “many” as you put it above, served their owners somewhere between reasonably well and very well. But that doesn’t erase the fact that they were undoubtedly the worst of the big 3 HD pickup transmissions for that era!
