Greetings to all

New Ford truck owner, bought it from the estate of a neighbor that had passed away. 2006 F350, crewcab, Lariat package, 2WD, 6L, auto, set up for towing and only 57K miles! Got it all cleaned up today, washed, waxed and detailed interior. Man, that's a big truck! Fortunately, it fits in the garage so I can work on it in air-conditioned comfort Thanks to you folks for honest reviews on the 6L motor. I did a lot of research on this site (and others) and decided to buy the truck anyway. Looking forward to many years of good service out of the truck and will be looking at doing the mods recommended by the folks on this site! Thanks again!

Hi Scott, welcome to FTE!

I think if you properly maintain your 6.0L, you will get many years of service from it. Our members will be more than happy to assist you with it.

The local members from IA can be found in the chapter FTE has for you. Take a minute and introduce yourself to them here,,, Iowa Chapter - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums
