I am looking at buying a 05 f250 with the 6.0 PSD in it, for a work truck, and I read every where that the 6.0 PSD is crap, are they really that bad?

I don't tow alot of weight a max of 5000lbs every once in while so it's hardly going to be working to it's max.

They are hit and miss,but any brand has its marks. I dumped my 06 dodge after it blew the injector pump apart internally, before was a crazy power surge we(dealer and I) couldnt find. it goes back to that old rule the people with a ba one will tell the word the people with a good one barely tell anyone.

They worked out most of the problems by 05. I wouldn't buy an older one than that with the 6.0. I bought my 05 new and it came home with an oil leak. My buddy bought one the same day and had the same problem. I put the Edge with Attitude system in, air intake and Banks dual exhaust. I also had to put a Banks intercooler in after I blew up the stock one.

But other than that.... It's fine..

I have an 04 with approx 72,000 on it and it is always towing about 7000 lbs. I havent had any issues as of yet(knock on wood, I sure as hell hope I didnt just jinx myself ) Like everyone said, every make and model you will horror stories about

I have had 9 of them since 03, never had a problem. When you buy used, and they have a problem it is more than likely it's been modded. There is the right and wrong aftermarket products to put on these trucks. Many cause to high cylinder pressure that causes high boost, and failure from there. Transmissions blow, to improper modules that have no tranny control. The list goes on. Jeff

Thats what I thought, I plan on leaving it stock, I already have a 600hp car and I don't need that in a 3 tonne truck...

the truck is stock and has been fleet maintained (with records) drives really well, I think I just pull the trigger and do it.

I have an 03 with well over 90,000,mostly towing boats. Only problem was an egr valve at around 89,000 miles. No chip though, I'd like one but afraid of the problems. I might do something with the exhaust soon. I think that might help fuel mileage. I get from 17 to 19 not towing and 12 to 15 towing depending on weight. Not many cars pull away from me at a red light, even when I have a boat behind me.

No worries with an '05. Go for it.
I love mine, never had any problems.

Had an '06 F-350 King Ranch w/ the 6.0L motor - completely stock. Began to overheat when towing my boat up hills at 26,000 miles.

After three trips to dealers (one dealer told me to pick up my truck - he wasn't going to fix it because I questioned his replacing the coolant overflow cap as the only thing wrong with the truck), finally got them to check the heads. They were warped and had to be replaced, along with the gaskets. Broke down 1 week after I got it back. Replaced 2 injectors. Broke down again. Replaced all injectors. Broke down again. Replaced all injectors again. Broke down again. Truck spent 72 days in the shop from August 2006 to December 2006, when Ford agreed to take it back and give me an '08.

I'm not saying this is a common occurence; there are many 6.0L's out there that run great. When my truck wasn't broken, it ran great. If you get a good one, you should have no problem towing 5,000 lbs.
