Problems

Seems that almost everyone on here has had problems with their 6.0's.
Is there anyone here that can say they DIDN'T have any problems?

My Cousin has a 2004 Crew Cab 4x4 6.0L with over 120,000 miles on it. He drives the heck out of it, lets it idle often and pulls a 36ft 5h wheel with a lead foot. It is totally stock, no mods what so ever (no gauges, tuner, etc). He said he took it in once or twice for a reflash and that's it! Absolutely flawless. He must have one of the trucks that the head bolts were torqued correctly and without casting sand left in the block!

Mine is a 2005 CC 4x4 Lariat 6.0 auto. Completely stock and keeping it that way until warranty is out. 32,000 plus and runs like a beast. No problems at all. Been reflashed per recalls. I keep it serviced routinely and with the exception of the computer re-learning after the reflashes (sluggish throttle response, etc.), not even a hiccup.
