Nice post. It's good to hear from the satisfied 6.0 drivers instead of always hearing negative stories or bad tales from a "friend" someone knows. You guys are also right about the shear number of 6.0s on the road doing work with no issues.
X2 - I think many/most folks on here forget about simple statistics and human nature. You are about 100X more likely to read about a problem on an internet forum than something good. After reading this post and remembering all the problems I think it may be more like 1000X more likely to hear about a problem.
This also goes hand in hand with the folks that have one bad experience with a brand and rule them out forever. Talk about an incorrect conclusion.... yikes. I've seen this over and over again.
If you happen to be the poor guy at the wrong end of the bell curve you should probably hop right back on the same brand. The chances of it happening again are super rare. Anyhow, I'll get off my soap box and stop thinking about statistics classes from college.
OP, I'm glad your truck is working out well.... happy camping!
I agree with your post generally about internet issues on vehicles, but the 6.0/6.4 isn't a fable made up on the computer. I am sure FORD and IH would not have sued each other into oblivion over the motor if it was some kind of rare fluke. There are some that ran and still do, many that didn't and never could. Good for you and anyone that got a "good" one. If anyone is bored sometime, it is interesting reading the actual verbage on the lawsuit. Pretty damning. The Ram issues and GM issues on some of their trucks were never to the scale that Ford had with the 6.0. It was unfortunate, and costly for everyone involved. It took building their own motor to right that ship.
