So far Ford has fixed all issues or replaced the trucks
I really find it kinda funny how someone who has 23K miles that has had major problems all of a sudden finds this site and does not tell the whole story. Year and build of truck, what the dealer has said or done. Or NOT done. And maybe it's me and my morning mind, but towing a 13K fiver with a 250? Seems like he'd be overweight.

A challenge to all
I challenge the lovers and haters of the 6.0 (that we have in this forum) to find the total number of known buy-backs in this the 6.0 area.

I'll look forward to reading the results of your research. I just did a search of the 6.0 forum alone for "DSB" and got 29 pages of results. I'm not sorting through all that anytime soon!
Cool! Hopefully this will apply to all posts that say things like "this is the most reliable truck", etc, too?

Where is the 475 written..
I am not doing the research, I will make a thread to post in.
....29 pages is taking about the process it is not the number of buy backs

Why don't you create a jeb sticky. Then he could have his very own forum / soap box to bash Ford and or the 6.0 specifically.
That way if we felt the need to get into a spirited conversation we could just go there and get on with it instead of having so many threads with new users disrupted with the same old song and dance. Same offense. Same defensive postures no matter who starts them.
If a user needs DSB info I would be happy to direct them to jebs guidence.
A new user finds us. Has issues and BOOM! Thousands of trucks are bad there is no hope. It's no wonder some of these guys go away so quickly.
Sometimes we get so involved with battle we forget that some poor guy had a problem and no one is trying to help.
So I say it's jeb sticky time. What do you think?

All the extra time it took to seperate the fact from fiction?
http://www.autosafety.org/article.php?did=834&scid=93 I'd bet most folks here that have been around any time at all know this is a published number. I don't blame folks for wanting to sweep all the problems under the rug but it's not doing any justice to the folks coming here looking for help and advice to act like this motor hasn't had a very rocky start. Yeah, it's getting better and that's great but things like turning off PI and all the rumors about ford already looking at a replacement for this motor don't inspire a lot of confidence for me.

Even based on those numbers, it only comes out to .66% were bought back.
