Well, I found a 2005 6.0 Ex, thanks to everyone for the advice! Especially Toreador_Diesel! I've said it before, but this group is the best! I'll post some pics when I get it and do some of the needed mods (springs,tires, exhaust, etc).

I have yet to make arrangements to fly down and get it. I got a GREAT deal and will have the cash to do all the upgrades I need to and still be under what I was willing to pay. The engine is "bulletproofed", the owner is a diesel mechanic. ARP studs, EGR, oil cooler and remote oil filter, SCT tuner etc. I am going to be asking for a lot of advice so get ready for me to be a PITA! I'll surly share any of my knowledge when I can.

 

excellent

you will absolutely love the 6.0 and 5r100 trans combo. get ready for some tire shredding power
