should i pull the trigger?
Alright, right now I drive a 95 Silverado 5.7 and am looking for a new(er) truck. Want a diesel this time and I'm looking at a 04 f250 6.0 with 180,000 miles. Was just wondering if the main problems that these engines have would have arisen by 180,000 miles? So most should be fixed by now right? Or should I keep looking for a 02 or 03 7.3l but this one was close and cheaper from someone my mom knows so imma get a deal. Think I should for about $9,000? Thanks fellas.

go ck the 6.0 bible at the top of the treads and READ them through and you will have a better understanding of this truck. I was a GM guy for years and and good marine tech, and this truck is like no other animal I ever had

I don't have any way to scan it atm. And I'm pretty good with maintenance I think. Never miss a oil change, all fluids flushed regularly, replace fuel and oil filters regularly, ect. Never had a diesel tho so not sure quite what all maintenance is required on em compared to a gas truck....
