Another F-250 Thread - Used 2003 King Ranch with 6.0L

Ok guys... This has probably been discussed, but you can't have too many truck threads.
I am looking at buying a F250 Super Crew King Ranch 6.0L Diesel 4x4. From the guy: The truck is in immaculate shape and is loaded. Heated/Power Seats, 4 bucket seats, cruise, AC/Heat, 6 Disc changer, 142K miles. Asking $14,000. There have been zero mechanical issues with the truck.
From the little reading I've done it sounds like some people have had issues with it, but not everyone. Do any of you have any knowledge or first hand experience? I plan to get an oasis or carfax report for the truck.

The people I know with 6.0s either had huge problems by 80k miles or didn't have a problem until 180k

DO NOT BUY A 6.0! Especially an '03 (the first year they made them) like the last guy said, lots of problems with them. If you look hard enough you can find an 03' with the 7.3L and have much fewer issues with it in the long run. If you offered me a 6.0 with 30,000 miles and a 7.3 with 250,000 miles I'm taking the 7.3.

Offer him $7000, keep the rest to cover repairs

If you're buying from a dealer, do what NoDust said. Bet he bites. They have a VERY hard time getting rid of those 6.0's and for good reason.
Once you fix the issues they are some bad bitches though. The problem with em is that they were made to have the dog shite ran out of them. They don't handle putting around in traffic well. They need to be wound up and literally have the soot blown out every now and then.

I wouldn't touch that with your 10ft pole.
