What year 6.0 to avoid?

I'm considering purchasing an '05 6.0. Manufacture date was 10/04. Is this within the early 6.0 range that should be avoided?

Thanks

I've had no problems with mine. Most on here seem to think 05 and newer were OK.

Get an oasis report on the truck, and if its clean and you like the truck go for it. The 03-04 had some problems, but there are still a lot of good ones out there. The 05 and ups got a lot better. The only real issue with the 05 trucks with the 6.0 that i can recall was the HPOP stc fitting would go bad but there is an updated one out to fix the problem.
