I'm not interested in a diesel. I have an acquaintance who is a 19 year mechanic at Bruce Walter's Ford in Pikeville Ky., he strongly advised me against either the 6.0L and 6.4L Ford diesels warning of reliability issues and expense of repairs. It seems neither engine has the customary number of head bolts, the 6.0L is likely to develop expensive EGR issues and the 6.4L is likely to develop expensive turbo issues. His recommendation was to find a 2 valve V-10 gasoline engine.
At this point I am thinking 2008 and up E450 would be best, but a good deal on a 2005-2007 would be worth a 2nd look.
Thanks for all the help!
