Are these 250's or 350's?
SRW or DRW? |
Have an 05 Ford F350. CC XLT Dually. 180,000 miles on it, complete stock. Pulls the Top Gun Great. Tow Mode, and Transmission make the difference. Also 05 had the coil over suspension. Great Ride.
|
They both sound like good deals, mine is a 2006 F250 CC SRW, with 103,000 miles and no problems. Nothing wrong with a 6.0 if you leave it stock...
|
I hear allot of people say stock 6.0's are fine but I see allot of STOCK 6.0's in my buddies service bay with head gasket, stud type issues on a regular basis.
The turbos sucked on them too. They are ab great vehicle once you work the major bugs out but IMO ford should have done that. Instead they pay for head gaskets and put the same **** bolts back in. DAHHHH My buddy does a side deal with his customers to put in the head studs. Hes making ford look better everyday! |

Yo dude! I wouldn't worry about buying one at all! I just picked up an 05 Excursion with 6.0. Its awesome! Trans is much better than my 7.3, more power, more torque. Just make sure you leave it stock, unless you want to put the head stud kit in, EGR delete and bulletproof oil cooler (about $2500-3000). Get me a vin and I can have my buddy run the report on the truck, make sure it hasn't had any issues.

I have 175K on my 04, relative problem free operation. The 6.0 gets a bad rap because of misdiagnosis and "internet" hype. They are solid engines if you don't mod them and beat the crap out of them. For the record, I'm a service direct responcible for a GM store and a Ford store. U better believe there is a reason I drive blue oval!!!!

But I do have a diesel Chevette... what you got to say now?... |
