This from a man who owns a 03 Cummins that regularly gets 30% better mpgs than I do & he's an old lead foot.
LOL...My father in law is a mechanic and said the same thing when I got my 6.0. He being a Ford man him self broke a piston in his F350 and replaced the engine with a Cummins.

If your wife knows more about her truck and the parts that have been replaced or repaired than the husband, cause he's having to work to pay for the repairs... you may own a 6.0L

If you can hear your turbo spooling from the other side of the emissions shop, you might own a 6.0

If you pick up lumber and the guy helping to load it up says "damn that thing is sucking some air isn't it?!"...you may own a straight piped 6.0

When one of your friends just dropped 5K on a cab off job (head studs, egr delete, the works), sighs and tells you "well I forgot to pick some ford gold and Ford was closed so went to advance and put cheap coolant in, yeah not good right Dave?" and I look at him as if he had three heads...you might be an avid reader on FTE

When another friend drops 12K in tires, wheels, lift, exhaust, ram air hood, "chip" and neglected to get a $160 scangauge and whines that his 6.0 hydrolocked ...you might be a "sorry" 6.0 owner

Been a while since someone out up a new one, and couldn't resist...

If you can tell your tank is getting low by looking at your fuel pressure gauge, you might own a 6.0
