Its a great motor when cared for properly stay on a severe service maintenance schedule and follow the tech folder and you're good..
I wouldn't take a 2006 model actually. I've heard of the same old 6.0L problems from the earlier ones. But then from other folks and internet, I've heard that the 05 to 07 6.0L was just as good, if not better, as the 7.3L in reliability. My last work truck was a 1997 F-350 7.3L Powerstroke and I'd take the 6.0L over it any day as to what I've experienced so far with it. The power is a HUMUNGOUS difference. At first I didn't want an automatic tranny but I got the truck shipped to my local dealer and so far this automatic has ran circles around my old 5-speed manual!
