6.0L Ouch
Coming home from North Dakota tuesday night I had a break down with my 2003 F-250 super duty well a long story short,
The shop here at home says I don't have any compresion in two cylinders and had fuel getting in to my oil.Well
I priced a new engine from the and was told
$15,927.30 for a new 6.0L installed with 2 year unlimited milage
this seems high or is it
PLEASE LET ME KNOW

You can get a short block for $3k, a long block for $4.5k. So you're out almost $11k in labor. Where'd you get the quote from? There are several techs in the 6.0L forum that could give you an hours estimate on what a job like that costs in labor to see if your place is in the ball park.

If you can afford some down time on the truck..... we just had a guy who did a complete removal, tear down and rebuild on a 6.0L and his transmission in his driveway, he couldn't even get the truck into the garage with room to work on it. If you're doing a long block it would be even less work than he did. If you want to challenge yourself, I'm fairly confident anyone can come in under $15k in cash outlay.

Dude that is about the price if you buy it from the dealership......There are literally warranty reman motors out there for less than half of that. I wouldn't pay more than 8-9k for a good reman motor with labor. 16k is waaaay out of the wheelhouse in my opinion.

Remanufactured 6.0L PowerStroke Long Block Engine - 03-07 Ford Powerstroke 6.0L
I think I could build a 6.0L out of parts bought across the counter at a dealer for $13k. It would take a lot of parts, HPOP, injectors, turbo, computer modules, radiator/intercooler, both coolers, studs, just a whole pile of things to boost the cost $7 grand over a reman'd long block. What exactly is part of this replacement they're selling you? If it's all there, maybe, but if they're reusing anything from the old motor I'd be leary.
I'd really go repost in the 6.0L forum and get a tech's opinion on pricing. You'll get more reliable part's cost info faster in there:

It is at the ford dealership in Richfield,Utah an I used to do alot of mechanic work still do on boats but at 48 years old I am not interested in working on my truck and have'nt been in a few years.
For the 16,000.00 I told then I want new everything and I mean everything
Turbo down to the oil pan.
I don't mind the money as long as it is worth it,the truck is my work truck I am a driller in the oil and gas field's of america and my truck has to be dependable.

I think a Ford Full dress was $13K last time I looked.
Full Dress is turbo to oil pan and the accessories.
$15K seems a bit steep. If all they are doing is stuffing it in.

No, he will have a brand new engine, hopefully(!) assembled and installed correctly. The rest of his truck is still what it is, all 180k work miles of it. He could trade in the truck as-is (take it to Carmax if you want), take the $16k he would've shelled out, and have a helluva down payment on any *actual* new truck on the lot, diesel or gas. If you like the 6.0L you'll love the 6.7L...

I would have a second opinion first off. At 15k I'd sell the current truck take the proceeds and 15k and buy a newer lower mile truck or a brand new one. I personally think 15 k for a motor is un reasonable especially for a stock replacement. Drop that coin on the engine and then the tranny takes a dump. Then 3k later you have over 18k+ original purchase price in a 10yr old truck with 200k miles.
