If you didn't notice, the F150 was an 05 and all the work was done on it last year. I am ahead of the game.
Lighten up on the pessimism - you will live longer. It is almost like you want everyone else to suffer with you.
BTW - nice post JAKE8842!

Im not suffering, and I cant buy a new one because I spent all my money keeping this one running.
Why is this forum here then. All it is, is a "help me fix my broken 6.0l" fest.
Remember back in '03-'04 when these first came out? All that was talked about here was how cool these trucks were and how so and so smoked a little rice burner car with his 7000 lb diesel.
There are no more positive experiences to share anymore just problems, Ive had 'em and you will have 'em. So what. I fixed mine and you will fix yours.
I would never wish anyone to go through the terror my truck has put me through, I didnt trust it back then, but lately its gaining back my trust.
Anyway, this guy asked for opinions. Wouldnt you want to hear both sides?
If he learns about what is typical about 6.0s, then he might find one thats been upgraded already.
Take your own advise and stud your 6.0l to get ahead of the blown head gaskets game.
