Re: What, (if any) are the known problems with the 2006 Ford 6.0 PS
Well,
All I can say is that my 1995 7.3 PS with 118,500 miles has NEVER broken down on me, has TOWED all my boats and has been a great truck. Like I said earlier, too late now, got the 06, and she is sitting in the driveway. And I don't do prolonged idleing, and now that the 6.0 PS has been out for 4 years, I would think that Ford/IH would have most of the "Bugs" worked out of it. I would be more leary of buying the "New" IH engine next year because of the same "Teething" problems that all manufacters go thru when they release new engines.
Unfortunately, the warranty will probobly expire, (time wise) as the truck sits in our driveway.
Our Boat sits on the lift, and I drive my beater car to and from work. 
We've had the 06 for a month now, and it has 300 miles on it!

just buy a old dually and drop a 540 in it, saves on payment and insurance, put the money in the tank.

Re: What, (if any) are the known problems with the 2006 Ford 6.0 PS
I have a good friend that has a 06 king ranch. It shut off the first week and stayed in the shop for 30 days . Ends up something about the injectors and the computer shut it down.
A month ago It shut off again . they kept the truck for 2 months . the oil pump went out. They couldn't figure out why??
Now he is scared of the truck now,don't know when its going to put him down on the side of the road out of town again.
he's not real happy and was talking about traded it in on a Chevy, but he had so many rebates with the Hurricane rebates it ended up being 13 k off.
He test drove the new 06 Chevy and said it was stronger than the Ford he has .
good luck

I also have the 360/660 GMC, and it is stronger than my Ford F250. Up to 90mph about a truck and a quarter in front. Dont care for the Allison tranny, small wheels and the suspension sucks when towing emty and anything over 10k pounds. The problem is when unloaded its quick, but when loaded with identicle trailers and being 1000 pounds lighter it makes torque differently and on highway speeds the Ford outpulls it, every time. Cant figure it out, the Ford is rated at 570 tq, they must be sand bagging, both have 3.73 gears. Jeff
