Welcome to FTE kcduece25! There are lots of folks that have put tons of miles on their 6.0's. I only have 22K on mine, but I'm sure someone else will chime in shortly.

75K on an 06, running mods. No problems except for a vacuume pump. No big deal. Great truck!

I was looking for the same infomation a few weeks ago.
I bought a 05 with 190,000 miles that runs like new with no oil leaks.
Anyone heard of higher on a 6.0 yet?

DANG! Mine is four months old, and I'm almost at 10,000 miles. And, it's just a daily driver for me. Of course, the wife is always yacking about how much the fuel costs, the increased maintenance, etc., but guess what she wants to drive in everytime we go somewhere together???

I have an 05 350 dually with about 55000 on it and it still runs great. Have a few buddies with older ones like around 03-04 and none of them have had any engine trouble. I think these engines will easily make their 250,000 mile mark.

I think the motor itself will go as long as the 7.3s or longer, Its just keeping all the emission crap together. But ive heard of some with 200,000 - 300,000 going strong, and those were 03-04s. You just cant use them as a grocery getter
