6.0L Power Stroke Engine and DrivetrainDiscussion of the 6.0L Power Stroke diesel engine and drivetrain in the 2003-Up Super Duties and Excursions.

Please confine discussion of topics in this forum to those items that are specific to the 6.0L Power Stroke engine.
I'm considering buying a used '06 or '07 6.0l truck. I found one nice example of each. The '07 has a few less miles.
We have a '06 truck at work that has been very good to us thus far....
Were there any notable changes to the drivetrain in '07? I would have expected some improvements....
As far as I know the only real deference is the turbo. On the 07 they put a groove in the turbo to combat the sticky vane issues they had with previous models. My Dad's 06 runs great....and we have never had a turbo problem..... I think either would be good.

They do have larger head bolts and a better turbo oil return.

Hmm... I dont think the 07 had larger bolts, at least for the shaft part. The heads were slightly different... had larger dowel pins that help align the head to the block. The oil drain tube is improved for the 07 as well.

Job 2 06's also got the commonized heads the 07's have. Suspensions are the same from 05 on up as far as I know.
