Well, in all fairness the 6.0 didn't have the best reputation in the world.


In all honesty if a 6.0 is left alone and you don't try to add HP they are decent engines, not the best not the worst.

most issues come up when some dipshit tries to plug in "GAINZ" and drive it like a sports car, or even better sets it up to overfuel and "roll coal"

I know several folks myself included that put well over 250,000 trouble free miles on them, on the other hand I also know several that had nothing but problems, they all ran tuners.

Used 6.0's are probably the best value in the used truck market right now.

I had a 7.3 tuned to the limit with cat delete and the works. I bought a 6.0 and left it stock and it would pull circles around the 7.3.

I had 135k trouble free miles on it when I sold it.

Truth.

I bought one with 170k miles and put another 30k on it in 2 years. Trouble free. Like you said, if it hasn't been chipped, it's a good engine.
