I would hate to get into something that is going to be problematic and honestly I can tear apart a chevy 350 or ford 351 (up to the heads) but don't know crap about diesels...

A buddy had a 03 6.0 PSD and Ford bought it back because it was in the shop too often. He ended up with a new 05. Good Luck.

I know three people with the 03's. They all like them for the most part. One had idle issues. They ALL got the injector upgrade I think it was?
Get used to leaving your truck in the dealer for a long time. They will not order parts before the truck is there, they do not stock much of anything so your typical down time with the truck is about 7 days. I found a garage that is near my shop and the guy runs a round the clock shift for truck repairs. What is the oil leak? If it is front or rear main seal just get used to it they all leak..... Not bad but they do all leak.

PS the dealer for 7 days is typical no matter what manufacturer you own, they all seem to be that way.

Make them take it back and go with the 04. Got an 02 7.3 and an 04 6.0, not a single problem with either diesel.... dammed air filters for the 6.0 are rediculously priced!!!!
