Question Question bout 03 powerstroke

I am looking at an 03 350 drw x- cab diesel, with 13k miles on it for about 30,000., and was wandering if this may sound reasonable or not ... also, if the 6 liter had a lot of problems that year or not. Any help would be great

Go post this question in the 6.0 forum. You'll hear a LOT of replies to stay away from the early 6 liters. Lotta bugs that needed to be worked out.

13k....thats probably why it's got that few of miles....been in the shop part of it's life if it's an early 6.0. Trust me, I have a friend that has an early build and it has about drove him nuts!!! Thinking about trading it off. Wishes he could find a left over 7.3L some where but knows thats not possible.

Ford bought back some 03s with the 6.0 due to repeated problems. You may want to have a history check done with a Ford dealer. I think there is someone on the 6.0 fourm that can do a check for you if you have the VIN number.

Hey guys, thanks so much for the replies, as this is what i was worried about. When you say early 03's, is there a cut off for the "bad" ones ?
