Hey everyone! I purchased my truck brand new in August of 2004. I have used it now for 6 years basically back and forth to work and small vacation trips and during the summer pulling my 25 Baja Outlaw (total towing weight 6500lbs). It has NEVER been off road, clean as can be, spotless and I LOVE IT!!!! 35" Open Country Toyos, custom wheels, 4.5 inch Donahoe Racing lift kit..

Anyway, all my buddies are selling their F-250's! Oh, the sky is falling, cab off engine removals, head gaskets, EGR valves, yada yada yada! yes, my EGR failed and the dealer replaced it at about the 45kmile mark (now have 79k miles-original owner).

I figure there are half a million Ford F-250's/350's out there now since 2003 with the 6.0 with a TON of miles on them and I do not know anyone with head gasket issues (but I have heard of that with guys with programmers).

In closing, mine is paid off, it will pull a house, it's babied! Are these engines just doomed and its just a matter of time or would the posts of other brands and engines elsewhere be the same? I know it's not a 7.3 but those days are gone with emission issues I am afraid.

Just curious, suggestions, how many miles do some of you have on your trucks now? Mine is not a work truck either.

Thanks!
