Buying a diesel looking for info
 

Any good/bad with the 6.0 Ford? I'm looking at an 05 and an 07.

I bought an 07 new and love it.......but I've only put 13,000 miles on it. The problems are with head bolts stretching under programmer boost (so I left mine stock) and the turbos used to stick from lack of use, so I drive it a little every other weekend during the winter.

There are several other threads on the first page or two here about the 6.0's - you might want to check them out....

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.

get an extended warranty, sooner or later you will need it !

I have no interest in modding it. Just want something to tow boat. It will likely be a daily driver unless I dont sell my car.

05 Crew 4x4 leather 94k mi $21,000

07 Crew 4x4 Lariat 60K mi $23,000

These in ballpark for $$$? Any duramax I see has way too many miles and more $. I would like a Cummins but I havent had luck finding one lately...

Looking at diesels and din't call me jay? I might no a thing or 2 about them...

That 07 sounds like a pretty good deal! Plus a Lariat, that sounds like a really nice truck.

Are these 250's or 350's?

SRW or DRW?

Theres a reason ford and international filed lawsuits and quit producing a 6 leaker after only 3 years........ Reliable they aren't. Headgaskets, turbo actuators, egr coolers......
