Tim yes your right I would never go to the dark side ( I would never here the end of it I think I would walk first) just getting a little tiered of this. In the last ten years I have bought about 20 Rangers, 6 F150s and one F250 and still own most of them so I think FMC will try to work it out. FMC may read my buy back form and make it all good and I think they will, it is just the unknown and haveing to do this at all.
The big pitcure is that I cant trust this truck and two days before it died this time I went to LA to a custom trailer company to have a 40' toy box made thats no off and I bought a diesel pusher (3 times the money
) to do what my Truck should be doing. But don't worrie Tim I am not a lost cause yet!

I've been hearing nothing but bad things about the new 6.0 psd, and am considering going into the "HotShot" buisiness in the near future, and am strictly Ford man for a very long time, I understand that this 6.0 was developed because it was much more cost effective to build a completely new engine to pass upcoming emmissions standards rather than trying to get the 7.3 to comply.
Sounds like Ford shot itself in the foot on this one, they had all the bugs worked out of the 7.3 just in time to get into the new 6.0.
Is the 6.0 in fact anouther International engine, or is it Ford produced.
I'm sorry to say that if I get into this HotShot business that it will probably be with a new Dodge with 5.9 Cummins.

Supercab yes there have been some bad 6.0s but as you stated they had some problems with the 7.3 and still do for that matter. I read a few months ago that about 95, 000 6.0s have been sold and about 600 buybacks less than 1% I just happen to be one of the lucky ones
. I do think the 6.0 is awsome and boy can it run, however they do have some communication problems to work out and hopefully they are getting it. I have friends with all three makes and all have thier share of problems to some degree. I did order a new 04 6.0 just like my 03 but without the dieing problem i hope
. And yes this is a international engine. For the last ten years I have made sales calls at all three brands and I have seen problems in all three. I may be wrong but I think the big problem with all three is they keep hiring humans to design and build these trucks.
