Even some of those still run like a top. Ive seen plenty of 6.0's with over 200k and no major problems. My buddy has a 06 with 130k and has had a bullydog on it since 30k. This truck has had the daylights kicked out of it, always on extreme mode, no maintanace done and maybe 6 oil changes done and the only problem he every had was stc fitting went bad at 50k. Sorry about your luck.

So you dont agree that of all the 6.0s out there and all the problems that arise with this engine, that it is not excessive?

Shouldnt they be a little less prone to problems and failure?

I dont think the 7.3s had this many problems.

There are a lot of superdutys out there, but I think that the "problems/failure"- "to perfect running for 200k" ratio is way off.

I bought this truck hoping that I could keep it more than 10 years because it is a diesel. I just got a little pissed when I saw coolant spraying down the drivers side of my 50,000 dollar truck. All I could think of is how can this be? I only had 14k miles. I thought our technology was more advanced than this.

Just count the TSBs for this damn thing, its ridiculous.
