It has had injectors put in twice in 3 weeks, didn't even make it 350 miles since last injectors. The guys in the service department said not to buy the 08's because they are already having problems.
55,000 miles on 2004 6.0 4x4 and "0" problems.

Went from an 02 F-350, Crew Cab, DRW, 4x4, 7.3, long bed to an 05 with a 6.0. No comparison in ride, power, quietness and comfort. Hard to believe the same company made both trucks.

4x4 is like having insurance.
