6.0l value

Hey does anyone know what a 2005 6.ol diesel with studs and egr delete with 120000kms in good running order would roughly be worth?

74564.5431 really depends on what comes with it and if your
buying you want to hear it run and pass a few simple tests.

Personally I would like a stock engine better. No telling what parts were put in a modified engine, or if they were installed correctly - unless you happen to know the owner.

100% agree ^^^^. Being modified you also don't know if it was somebodies weekend racer. It more than likely also has a tuner??

I've never seen anyone racing an f550 picker truck lol but ya it's always sceptical buying a used motor u know nothing about....just seen some going for 2500 range but double the km and completely stock these things are known for head gasket issues until they thrown in arp studs and also egr problems.ive been told they are good motors once certain mods are done but I'm a Cummins guy but not a fan of dodge lol so I'd rather swap a 5.9 in

Counterfeit parts are a problem. That includes head studs. Mahle sold an aftermarket head gasket called Black Onyx. Since they were the manufacturer of the OEM head gasket everyone said it was identical (except the color of the soft goods). Turned out they failed pretty quickly! You also have to consider that some heads have been known to crack. You also have the prep work done on the heads and block, and the proper torque procedure .... with a calibrated wrench to throw in. All that to consider and I would want to install my own upgrades.

You can learn a lot more about an engine driving it w/ a good scan tool to watch engine parameters. Also would want to watch the degas bottle pressure. A pressure gauge can be rigged up fairly easily for it. If it checks out, then $2500 doesn't sound bad.
