Im thinking of getting an 03 7.3 or 6.0 dually F350. but I want to make sure I do every thing in my power not to get a lemon. Anybody know if there is any type of mobile mechanic service that will check the truck "soup to nuts". Or is alot of a veicle purchase just the luck of the draw?

The 6.0 engine had injector problems, head gasket issues, problems with the variable pitch turbo blades and acuator. It could be running like a top when you look at it and puke the day after you buy it. I would look real hard for a 7.3 engine unless you are real confident that the 6.0 you are looking at is one of the few with out issues.
