Hello all.
I bought a 2006 F450 6.0 Lariat Crew Cab dually in May 2015. It had 132K miles on it and was in great shape. I researched things and knew the 6.0 had some problems, but figured with the 132K miles, it had already been there, done that.
We love the truck, but it did blow the EGR cooler after we had driven it about 2K miles towing our travel trailer. We had it fixed by a diesel expert in the area and it seems to be running fine. He replaced the cooler with a stock one and the truck has no mods. I had him keep it and drive it for a week since we only tow with it and weren't going anywhere. He really liked it and now it is in storage for the winter.
I want a truck I can trust and wonder if I should trade this one when it comes out of storage or, since the cooler and pump have been replaced, am I good to go at this point?
I realize there is no correct answer to this, but wanted experienced opinions since this is our first diesel.
Thanks for any input.
