New 6.0

Has anyone had enough experience with the 6.0 Powerstrokes. I have heard some good things and some bads. Looking to buy New F-350 with 6.0. Any insight would be appreciated. Also how do they compare with the 7.3s. Thanks

I'm sure you'll read all the old post here and other sites... there's been REAMS of discussion on the subject...
bottom line:
mostly computer controlled engine with two 32 bit processors and the early software had some issues that most feel have been corrected in the latest early Oct flash...
GO FOR IT - great power !

I've got 28,900 on mine with very few complaints (and all very, very monor). Just got the latest reflash and it is still running great. Pull a 7K trailer, no problems. I traded up from a 5.4L F-150 and love my 6.0. I say get it.

THANK YOU! First post here- I've been a "lurker" and I pick up my '04 F-250 XLT Sport CC 4x4 6.0 today! Can't wait to check out the black luxury leather interior!

Anyhow, I am a service consultant for an Infiniti dealership and we get people coming in with printouts from Infiniti user sites like what we have here for Ford. I tell people all the time that the internet can be a good thing and a bad thing. People read all the troubles on sites like this and let it get out of hand.

I am optimistic that I will be happy with my new 6.0- time will tell....
