[WannaBe6.0]

In town there is a 6.0 05, bulletproofed lifted, stacks, after market rims(don't like them all that much) road amour brush gard, lariat. 4x4, 115000 on it. Asking 18500. It has 36 inch nittio mud grapplers. And fox suspension. In side is very clean. My father is telling me to walk away and find a 7.3 with low miles on it. But looking around where I live online I can't find anything under 190000. He has a 7.3, loves it as do I 316,000 second trany. Body is starting to go. So do I keep looking around because all the after market on the truck, what do I do. All opinions wanted!!

I would listen to your Father.

 

[yan7gin]

Even if the 6.0 problems are fixed(Bulletproofing). I would think after the problems are addressed you shouldn't have to worry about them anymore. The guy I would be buying it from said he has all the paper work and would give it to me.

They still break, a lot.
Dad is right.

I wouldn't trade my bullet proof 6.0 for a 7.3, 7.3 still break. My father in law got more in his 7.3, then I've got in my 6.0 about the same miles. The power difference is night in day. The tranny behind the 6.0 is way better to.

7.3 break a lot every day to.A studded 6.0 with a bpd egr cooler with a good tune not race tune is hard to beat

Here look all the 7.3 that break

I can't resist....

Ahhh T dog, breakin bad!
Bullet proofed or not a 6.0 is not going to approach the reliability or serviceability of a 7.3

That's a rarity. Most of us with 7.3s have almost nothing in them repair wise. I'm down one alternator and one water pump at a quarter million miles. Original transmission and 19 MPG.

I bet u there some 6.0 out there to with high miles still going strong. all I'm saying people act like u buy a 7.3 and Ull never have a problem.

It funny to bc I just got back from hunting got down to -0, two of my buddy have 7.3 and both of them wouldn't start. My 6.0 start right up and the 2 cummins start up to. Ones in the shop bc it started leaking diesel out.

So what makes a 1999 to 2003 f250 so much better then a bullet proof 2005 to 2007 f250

2005 to 2007
Better tranny
Better interior
More power
Better front end turn way better

Sounds like every 7.3 you get close to breaks down. Maybe you're emitting some kind of kryptonite field. Stay away from my truck! ?

 

[yan7gin]

It all comes down to personal preference and how you treat your truck

Yea could just be me lol I just think a 6.0 when fix right is a very good truck for the right price.

My dad gave me the best advice...Never buy the first car (or truck) you look at :smile2:


Maybe buy an Edge Insight first if you are serious on buying a 6.0; you never know how other humans have treated a used truck.

 

[WannaBe6.0]

Yeah that's what everyone will tell me. Some say 7.3, next guy 6.0 bulletproof will do fine keep up on the up keep.

Does anyone know the success rate of bulletproofing?

 

[WannaBe6.0]

Also I do not beat on my vehicles nor do I baby them.
