Difference in 2007 6.0

I have a 2007 F250 and I am about to roll 100,00 miles. I have read tons of posts on the 6.0 and all the problems people have had. To be honest I have not had to deal with any and I have had the truck since 50,000. Can someone tell me what the difference is between my 6.0 that has a build date of December 2006 and the ones built earlier? Is there a difference? Or am I a lucky one so far?

Just lucky. I would get a gauge to read the OBDII data and see what your FICM is at, and where your temps are. That will tell the tale.

Jebner,
Some people don't care for this guy but he has some good info in his 6 part series that helps to explain the 6.0 vs the 7.3. He does talk about the improvements in the 6.0's from 2003 until 2007 such as the oil pump improvements, etc.
Enjoy.
