Ford 6.0 Powerstroke 2003 F250, Lifted 4x4


I really wana newer truck and this is one I've been looking at. The guy says the miles are mainly highway and hes had 0 6.0 issues with it. Says it runs hard, and never had a 5th wheel hitch in the bed or pulled any major loads. It's 4 hours away and I don't want to drive all that way if it's a waste. I know the 6.0 doesn't last as long (miles wise) as a 7.3 but what should I expect with these miles? Also, if I do buy it should I do the egr delete or leave it as is since its been fine so far? thanks!!

You take care of that 6.0 Id betten she will go just as far as a 7.3

the Bottom end in these 6.0 is very very solid

If your really serios about a 6.0 get a scangauge to take with you for the test ride and check it out
