it depends what truck you have now .i love my 6.0 there are just a couple of issues about it that make them a little harder than the old 7.3 but of course issues that you can get fixed or just live with them.

No problems with mine. Are you buying this from a Ford Dealer?

An OASIS on the truck tells you the repair history. Any Ford dealer can run the VIN and hand you the report if you ask nicely.

You will either get a really wonderful, strong truck, or a doggie, seems like there is no middle ground with these trucks. My '03 is bulletproof, and I love it, but lots of people have had bad experiences with them. My '05 is a big shaggy dog! Like he said, get the oasis and it will tell you what kind of '03 this one is.

I have an 03 with 68,000 miles on it. It has been great. Only a couple of problems. I wouldn't trade it for anything. The one thing I would look at before you buy is the build date. The earlier build dates for 03's seem to have had more problems. Mine is a May 03 build date.
