Opportunity to buy a 2003 6.0

I understand the frugal mentality, but if it were me and I had the money, I'd spend it to get the truck as close to "bulletproof" as possible. But that's just me. I'd rather have little money and a dependable truck than money saved waiting for the next problem, but I use my truck quite a bit. I don't own 6.0, but it's more the mentality of which I speak. It sounds like you have the $$ to cover all the weak points found in the 2003. I'd run the full gamut if it were me.

Update: So I got the truck back from the shop a couple days ago. On cold start is blows white smoke on idle and when I head down the road it pours it out. I mean like other cars pulling off the side of the road its so bad. It does that for about a couple miles then clears up and stops smoking constantly but about every 10 or 15 miles it will smoke for a mile or two. It does not seem to be caused by pulling hills or running at a certain rpm, it just seems random. The shop says there was a LOT of water in places it shouldn't have been and that is is normal for the first couple of tanks of fuel that I put through it. I really have no reason to doubt them and I think they know what they are doing but that amount of smoke worries me.
Any thoughts or opinions?
Thanks,
Mike
