As already pointed out...there were no '02 6.0L powered trucks. Now there were a few 7.3L powered trucks in 2003 model year SuperDuties. But after 1/01/03 Ford couldn't offer them in the trucks anymore. I've said this before and I'll say it again, I'll put my 2004 model ('03 engine) up against an later stock 6.0L ('05-'07). They're they same engine....same Hp, Torque and fuel consumption. The only difference is the location of a couple of sensors and how the HPO system is set-up. To say one model year 6.0L is better than another is silly. Some of the model years had different design flaws...but they function (or dysfunctioned if you will) the same through the 5 year run of the 6.0L engine. International built all of Ford's diesel engines from '85 through '10 which were the 6.9L, 7.3L IDI, 7.3L PSD, 6.0L and the 6.4L engines.

Mine has been great so far although I don't know how you guys are making brake pads last so long. I have 71k on mine and the front pads look nearly gone. I guess the previous owner was hard on them.

You've been spending time in the SuperDuty forum where all the V10 guys troll. As already pointed out...there were no '02 6.0L powered trucks.

Now to answer your question on brake pads. I have no idea - I have never had brakes last this long. The only thing I can think of is that the trailer that I tow does most of the work. When I changed the pads they still had 50% of the pad left. I didn't bother to surface the rotors and probably should have just put the pads on the shelf until needed.

Again, just a theory of mine.
