Its funny on my daily commute up here I seen TONS of 6.0 power strokes on the highway. The guys I have ran into that have had issues were fully bragging about modifications / tuning they had done.
One guy I talked to put it to me this way. He would rather pay 5,000 for a head gasket rather than a 15,000 repair bill on the 6.4. Now I can't say if that's true or not, but if you can afford a little down time if it happens the 6.0 is a really good deal.
My BIL spent close to 30k on a 2006 Dodge Ram SLT 3500, I see F350 Lariats with the 6.0 @ 90k miles on dealer lots for about 20k. For the difference ya could do a lot of work on the truck or have an "oh shoot" emergency fund if needed.
I guess my thing is there were a lot more units of ford 6.0's sold and for the number of them I sure see a TON of them on the roads up here, almost 50% of all diesels.
So are you saying you know a lot more than Ford engineers that say they went over spec on cylinder specs which causes cylinder head gasket problems?
Or do you think Ford was wrong when they sued Nav for a BILLION dollars because of engine problems?
