Welcome to the FTE 
Are you looking to purchase an 03 or do you have questions about your own truck? If you are looking to purchase, obtain an Oasis service report so that you can review what type of issues the vehicle may have experienced. IMO Just like any first year run of an engine & tranny combo there were a few bugs and new training for the technicians- But there are a lot of great 03 6.0 trucks out there... I've got one in my driveway

Are you having any problems or are you wondering what should be checked out before the 3/36 warranty expires?
There are some common issues which seem to be easily remedied by most dealers.

Tell us about any problems that haven't been resolved- There are several 6.0 Technicians which are active FTE members in addition to others with a lot "6.0 experience" which can help you address specific problems. Also, there are quite a few FTE folks from your area which may be able to recommend a good dealership for service.

One problem is the High Pressure Oil Pump going out. It will cause a No Start Condition. If this happens spray a COUPLE squarts of starting fluid in and it will crank for 10 secs then start right up. This is NOT a fix but will maybe get you home. Im Finishing one up tomorrow, and have 3 more in line. There really not "hard" to replace, its just getting to everything... IRP's go out on them just like anyother 6.0 thats out there.
