I am going to chime in here. I own a 6.0, yes I knew about all of its flaws before I bought it. I have owned multiple Cummins, a V10, a 7.3, and now a 6.0. I have driven a lot of miles in all of them.
My advice is simple. If you come to an online forum for diesel advice a 6.0 is not for you. I turn my own wrenches and I have a large tool box. I don't mind doing preventative maintenance. There is a video or forum for every 6.0 ailment out there. When I upgraded trailers I wanted a dually again. I got a very good deal on 6.0 because of all the fears of it. Like, about $12,000 savings compared to other trucks. I constantly monitor my engine with Torque Pro. The truck's brakes and transmission have given me more problems than the motor. Good luck in what you choose and remember the internet NEVER lies.
This was my point earlier. But ^ this guy said it more eloquently.
If A guy is on a budget and wanted/needed a heavy hauler diesel AND was willing to to turn wrenches, the6.0 is a great value package.
If a guy values more turnkey reliability and less timeunder the hood, move along from the two problem Powerstrokes.
