Worth it?

I am looking at a 2004 F350 6.0L Lariat Turbo Diesel with 128K miles on it and am wondering if it is worth the risk concidering the issues with the 6.0L engine? I have been told by several people that if the truck is that old with that many miles there should not be an issue.

The truck is in great shape and has been well maintained. I have driven it and really like the truck but.....

They are asking $17k and has more accessories than the normal Lariat package. I know the shop that has been doing the maintainance/repairs on it for the past couple of years and trust them. It would be my only rig and I do haul horses on occassion. Maybe more now with a bigger rig.

Any thoughts or comments would be helpful.

Run through the checklist about the engine before you commit to anything:

Thank you very much for the link info!! It was very informative and helpful in answering some questions.
No matter how much the actual truck is this is a big decision.
I appreciate the fact that you took the time to pass on the info.
Have a great day!!
