2006 ford f250
 

Guys what is your opinion on a Ford f-250 4*4 2006 6.0 Diesel truck? Thanks

Wow , the board must be sleepy, there is usally tons of people around here that give out there opinions:p

got a 05 4x4 other than little probs its been a good truck

I think everybody is getting SERIOUS !!!

i like mine...little warranty stuff...locks, switches, buttons.....i think chevy's build quality is a bit better...but mine fits the family needs...a good truck.

I have not owned one, but I have friends that are die hard Ford owners and they do not speak highly of the 6.0, I would see if I could do a google search and see what you find

The first 6.0 engines had some issues. I believe later models had the problems worked out. Check www.fordtruckenthusiast.com for the ultimate "low down".

I am on my third F250 they have all been great trucks. But for sure go wuth 4wheel drive.

I drove GM for years . They were ok trucks .I just got bored with them . I put 100kms on my 05 F250 with out a warranty issue . I traded it for an 07 same F250 Harley edition 6.0 I now have 90k on it and same thing not one problem . Looking at an 09 hope I have the same luck . BTW I swapped the exhaust for a Banks 4" cat back system with a Diablo Sport Tuner . Made the truck wake up . The only thing other than regular service is replacing tires . There not cheap .
Good Luck .

i'm on my second F-250 extended cab 4X4 diesel truck. I currently drive a 2006. No problems with either one. Drives and tows great.

I have an 04 F250 6.0 with almost 60,000 miles, no big issues so far..

thanks guys for all the reply's , I think I going to go with a 08 f250 or a 08 dodge mega cab. I like the ford better but, Dodge has more room in the cabin.

I have 34,000 miles on mine. Had a oil leak last week, the dealer had to replace the cam seal o-rings. The only problem I've had. I have the Edge Juice computer on mine and it made it come alive. I pull a Mistress and a Top Gun, NO Problem. 19 to 21 mpg on highway, towing 10 to 11.5 mpg. Very happy.

I've had two 6.0s a late 04 Harley F250 and an 06 SWB F350 dually with a 6.0, the 04 had an injector issue within the first 2 months under warranty and never saw a dealership again, the 06 had some EGR problems and I bought a spare one and when the check engine light came on(app every 15,000 miles) I'd swap EGR valves and clean the one I took out and swap it the next time.(they carbon up and stick) the 06 NEVER saw the dealership after it left, and I just bought an 08 with a 6.4 and I'm cautiously optimistic so far.
Both of my trucks ran the Edge with Attitude programmers and a Bassani 4" turbo back exhaust with an Airaid intake system and ran fantastic.

other than a new engine at 60k miles, i love mine.. just hit 110k and no other issues.. programmer, exhaust, intake since day 2.. we have 6 of them at work, all over 150k miles now and still no major mechanical issues..

The 7.3L was bullet proof,the 6.0L has had EGR and injector problems.Ford has had several up dates to correct the problems.Be careful of the chips,tech center claims they cause headgasket problems.The 6.4L has been ok so far,sounds a little crazy when the exhuast reburn system kicks in.The 6.4 in the 2008 started production in Feb. of 2007,this is a great sign that we have not had any problems.
