Yes. Why would anybody want one of those leaky old under-powered turds? Look at how much money those guys are plowing into an old truck that isn't worth what they have into it. They are tickled pink to spend 7 grand to make a whopping 400hp when that is nothing for anything newer.

I'd buy another one in a second! Mine has been great. I know where everything is and what to watch for. I have not been into a 6.4 but have heard they can be a nightmare to work on. 181k stock head bolts pulls great doesn't leak get decent mileage. I have done the oil cooler and egr And cleaned the turbo. Plus you can find 6.0's for real good prices Vs. Other diesels of the same years.

As per a bulletin posted on the American FMC Dealer website yesterday:
For the record, I have had a few trucks coming in requesting to have the EGR system components to be re-installed in order to pass emissions. In my neck of the woods, if you are pulled over by one of those fine gentlemen to inspect the vehicle and caught with any part of the emissions equipment removed, the fine to the vehicle owner is $5000, and $25000 to any mechanic caught installing such delete kits.

I would not buy a used 6.0 unless the coolant had been serviced at regular intervals and it had not been chipped or power modded.
I wouldn't let mine go for anything close to the NADA value as I know mine has been very well taken care of. It has been trouble free and I am well ahead of the game if I have to spend a few thousand on it tomorrow.
