Jackelope I must respectfully say this, Inline 6 diesel is head n shoulders above any V-8 and should not even be debated.  100% true.  I owned 7.3 Ford and loved it but the Cummins is far better.  I crap on 6.0 to save others the $ and headaches.  Newer ones all have emission fuel related issues.  Pre emission is 5.9 #1, 7.3 #2.  and Detroits the loudest!!!

My dads 5.9 Cummins has had far more problems than my 6.0. He’s spent over 12k just to keep it on the road and it only has 160k. My 6.0 has been flawless with over 150k

It's always so interesting to me that a vast majority of the people who say the 6.0 trucks are worth the extra effort have actually owned them, and the vast majority of those that bag on them like it's a religion never have.

Ask a normal diesel mechanic about the ford 6.0. Then ask the persons I gave each 1 to :bdid:

 I work for an extremely large shipping company.  The life expected out of the delivery trucks is 20 years.  The international t444e, basically a 7.3ps, made it to the 20 and some beyond.  The Cummins isb made it.  The international vt365, basically a 6.0ps,. Is not doing well at all.  It started with egr coolers and oil coolers.  Then it was IDM's which is a ficm.  Then injectors or high pressure oil branch tube o-rings. Turbo's cokeing up. The nail in the coffin was lifters failing.  The engine has to be removed to change the camshaft.  The trucks are 06 models, we had about 50 of them and have already started disposing of them.  They made it about 11 years.  We never had head gasket problems and I think it was because of our low hp ratings.  They are difficult for the ordinary guy to work on.  We went to GM 6.0 gas powered engines, so far so good. Except the mpg.

If you need a truck that keeps running stick with a ram that’s why we are running 6 rams daily and the 11 and 15 fords are parked till summer. The 6.0 fords have left for a reason they are garbage.

We still have those turds and they run 1 with a transmission rebuild. The     3      6.0 liter fords have a new home. Wait till yours won’t start when you fuel up . What a good motor the 6.0 is.
