So yeah I guess I'm a little dissapointed. The previous owner was meticulous according to maintenance records. Trying to stay positive but aren't these engines supposed to carry you through a few hundred thousand miles?
I'll be relatively ok if it's just the turbo I have to deal with...
Thanks to you all so much for your advice!!!

Well I also put 285000 on my 7.3 and all I had to do was put a couple trannys in it. So yah I guess they 6.0 just isnt as reliable.
Ive never had the 6.0 leave me stranded, so I guess I can feel your frustrations. When I lost my turbo it did the same thing as yours and I lost the turbo pressure tube. Ive have since got it replaced with an updated turbo (whatever that means) and it has been awesome for the last 40000. It know has 120000 and has been trouble free. Good luck with yours!
