Back in the saddle again!!

Just picked up a 2005 Ford F350 (dually) wih a 6.0l engine with 69k miles. We want to get a 5th wheel and do some family camping (in style!!)... My previous truck was a 1996 Ram with Cummins...Sold it a while back with just under 200,000 miles...worked quite well for me.

Hoping this truck, with some regular maintainance, will last as long, if not longer, without the issues I read so much about. Hoping!!

Hi James, welcome to FTE!

If well maintained, the 6.0L will serve you well.

Take a second and drop by the NC chapter FTE has for the local members. You can find the chapter here,,,, North Carolina Chapter - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums
