6.0 Diesel Problems

I have read up on the 6.0L Diesel problems common with the Excursions. I'm looking at buying a 2004 Excursion with this motor and 189k miles. DO you think that if this motor had problems they have been taken care of by now or is possible that i could be buying a mechanical nightmare?

You should go to the 6.0 forum and read in the stickie threads at the top what to look for when buying a 6l.

No way can anybody provide a valuable opinion without checking out the engine in person.

Thank you, I will check out the forum.

Not looking for any guarantees just opinions from people that own the motor
