Ticking time bomb? I dont think so. Ive seen plenty of 6.0's over the years that have been nothing but reliable. People like you are what gives this engine a bad name. Ive seen much more that have been good than i have bad. Usually the ones with problems are the people that dont give a crap and just run the wheels off of them with tuners. 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.

Jake,
I wish I could agree with you but I'll have to side with Dikkstar. Bought my 05 truck 2 years ago with 105,000 on it. Completely stock and never had a programmer. I've now got 176,000 miles on it and just dropped it off to Ford again today.
So far in 70,000 miles I've replaced
EGR Valve x 2
Torqeshift transmission (snap ring failure in reverse - known issue by Ford on the 05)
Headgaskets
EGR Cooler x 2
Oil Cooler
Fuel Injection Control Module
The truck is still completely stock and never been abused. I love the truck, just can't afford to keep it any longer. I only wish I had traded it in when everyone else was complaining about problems and I was still saying mine runs just fine. My opinion has changed to say the least.
