well as far as i know about the 6.0l they just got a few bugs in them for the first year. ive been doing alot of research on the 6.0l and the 2005 6.0l is supposed to set the bar for diesel trucks so you might want to consider waiting for one of those. plus a bad thing about fords are they cost much more than dodge but ya know what you get what you pay for. ive noticed a bunch of little things on the ford that make it better quality than the dodge but a bunch of little things add up. well that is my opinion and good luck in your decision
