03 SD Crew 6.0 psd

My little brother is looking at buying a SD Crew with a 6.0 psd. It has 136,000 miles. What does he need to be aware of? None of us have ever owned a diesel so we arent familiar with its pros and cons...

I should add its an 03 and has all the bells and whistles. Dont know if that matters or not.

Thanks,

Jerry

I'd avoid an 03 6.0. That was the first year for the 6.0 and they had many problems.

My 03 has been great 1 oil cooler and a vgt silinoid and a WIF sensor

the rest has been basic PM

The newer ones look better on paper with upgrades but I dont buy into that
