Common problems

I am thinking about buying a 6.0 . I would like to know what the most common problems are with these motors.

common problems? the majority of these powerstrokes don't have common problems. You're only seeing a certain percentage of people with issues that are capable of going on the internet and asking other people what is wrong. imagine if the rest of us without 'common problems' got on and started a topic every time our trucks ran fine. there are problems, but none that are common. I think. some people have issues with turbos, injectors, leaks. keep the thing stock and you're covered for 100,000 miles.
