What, (if any) are the known problems with the 2006 Ford 6.0 PS
 
Getting ready to pull the trigger on an new truck, and I don't want to get a "Problem child" from the git go. I'm not that Ford brand loyal that I wouldn't consider a Dodge if the new 2006 Power strokes are having headgasket or any other issues.
Thanks,
Dean

I've got 37k on my 2004 F-250 6.0 pulling a 29' Fountain or 28 Eliminator cat. It's been in the dealer shop more times than I care mention, New Turbo, computer problems, and I just got it back the other day for blown head gaskets, that were replaced. The dealer did cover everything under warranty. I have always been a Ford person, but have not been happy with this one.

El05,
Sorry to hear about all your problems. :( At least Ford is standing behind product. Did you buy it new? Can you do the lemon law sell back, (Fl. has a auto lemon law, I think it's 3 visits to dealer for same problem in 1st year or 12,000 miles.)?
Wasn't 2004 the first year for the 6.0 PS/Torqueshift tranny?

Thanks for the input everybody,

MC,
I'll give you a PM tomorrow, I've been laying bed SICK all holiday, and highlighing all the options we want in a 2006 brouchure! :D

All the problems were pretty much worked out in '04.
2004-1/2 and later 6.0L's should have no problems.

I'm loving my '05.
