I have the opportunity to buy a 03 6.0l diesel with 200,000 miles
I have run the vin and it was built Dec 02 and has had all recalls done and has not been back for any problems (head gasket, injectors, egr valve) etc.
Verify the maintaince records, inspect it for oil leaks and coolant stains around the degas bottle. If all checks out, buy it. Alot of super early build date 6.0's are bulletproof.
