You DON'T have to remove the cab for studs or headgaskets.

If you going to buy it, plan on studs and an EGR delete and then they will run fine for a good long while.

The guys who melt down a 6.0 would melt down any other motor also, they did not build around the program or chip. These are the guys who slap a program into a truck without so much as a set of gauges and then complain the tops of the piston looks like a king's crown.

Only thing beside the basics about running a program in a 6.0 is the FICM will get tired after a while and get below 45v output and FICM's are around $800.00.

If all the updates were done to the truck, and you are willing to spend the $$$ down the road, the 6.0 can be a great motor.

Note: City driving around a 6.0 without a load also will coke up the vanes on the turbo.....trust me I seen enough of them that way in the shop.
