6.7L. The jury is still out on them, some positive, some negative

2008-2010:6.4L is a tee-total piece of crap, avoid it at all costs.

2003-2007: 6.0L is a good engine with all the mods, ie EGR Delete, new stud kit for the heads, new injectors. Need to put a good $5K in one. * Avoid the 'early' built 6.0L. Later 6.0L much better

1998-2003:7.3L was the last of the Mohicans. Best engine ever put out by Ford/Internatioal

I have heard very few bad reports on the 6.7s.
There were some issues in the 450 and 550 applications, but that was emissions related. (change from the standard OTR engine)

Those old 7.3s were noisy as hell. Wouldnt fool with one today.

That's the only thing that scares the crap outta me, I haven't had a any injector issues...yet? I deleted the EGR, replaced head studs, replaced oil cooler and FICM, and chipped it. Nary a problem and runs like a beast. My wife had to use it when her van was in the shop, and she was instantly jealous of how responsive and powerful that truck is.
