If the ball joints haven't been done yet I'll almost garuntee that you will need them replaced. The power is great, tranny is rock solid. Get an oasis report on the pick up to see if the turbo has been replaced or not and see what else the report says.

yup go to the oasis report thread and read that first. 03-04 were tricky years, some were good, some were total lemons in the engine department.
i got lucky i have an 04 with tons of power and never a problem. 60k miles trouble free

I have a 2003, 6.0 5 speed. So far, the turbo failed at about 20K (Repaired under warranty). Since then the truck has been running pretty good.
I’ve towed a 12,000 lb 5th wheel from Michigan to Florida and back three times. I’ve towed my camper through the Dakota’s, Montana and back to Michigan with no problems. I installed the Banks Hoss bundle a year ago and it improved my MPG from 20 hwy 16 city to 23 hwy 19 city. It improved the tow MPG from 11 to 14 MPG.
