What Should I Buy?

I found a 2004 F350 FX4 with a 6.0l Diesel... Its a 4x4, is there any normal issues I should look for or common problems people see. My Brother said the 7.3l was awesome, but doesn't know about the 6.0l....

Also I found it for 14k.... with 86k...

Check out the 6.0 diesel forum, and get an oasis report before you buy.

Get the VIN and have the dealership run you an OASIS report. That will tell you any warranty work done to the truck. If you see multiple powertrain issues, pass the truck up and go find another one.

The 7.3's have a good reputation but the 6.0's are something else again. My 2003 has one of the real early 6.0s (#812 off the line) but mine has treated me well.

Keep poking around in the 6.0 forums...you'll find all kinds of great info there.
