Buying truck..

Thinking about buying a used F-250. I am looking both at the V10 and the diesels. I've read something about the 6.0 diesel engines being a problem engine.. Is that right? If, what years should I stay away from?

The older 03-04 6.0L diesels had more problems. The 05-07 ones are usually much better. Scroll down a little farther on the main forum page and look for the 6.0L forum. There are a lot of threads in there about what to look for when buying a used truck.

WELCOME to FTE - one of the regulars has already pointed you in the right direction.

There's also a V10 forum...
