I think the Big question here TEX is are you getting sick of your 6.0L LOL
Or is it just a BAD Itch to get a New Truck
And if my engine did Blow Up (knock-on-wood) I would either Rebuild the 6.0L if possible or Find a Used/rebuilt 6.0L engine

Oh no, I'm still loving mine, but I just got to thinking. I see a lot of "old timers" on here and I just had to wonder if I'm a freak ( don't really need to answer that) or are there other people that are still happy with their 6.0s now that their quirks had more time to show up.

A couple of weeks before I sold my 6.0, I was pondering the same question you just proposed. If the ole 6.0 goes boom, what would I do? At first, it was a no-doubt common rail Cummins conversion. Then I made the mistake of towing with a tuned 6.4, so now I pose the question to myself of what will I do if the 6.4 goes pop. That I dont know yet. When funds come together, I would like to kick the idea around of a common rail DT466, but that would probably cost as much as a 3000sq ft house at the moment.

72,000 miles and only problem was FICM replaced on warranty..except for a pair of wire insulation hungry squirrels who caused several thousand dollars damage. I just plan on driving it when I get extra money for diesel..I am retired on SS and trading is just not going to happen ..I love my 6.0 Ford Diesel!!

I'm with you Mark. I have owned many Fords, and this one is a keeper.
