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

I had a buddy who went through 3-6.0 liters. He only used his truck to pull his 42ft Fountain though. Grenaded one in the mountains of North Carolina.
My buddy's dad chipped his and used it in New Orleans mainly. He did pull a big bass boat to TX every couple of months though. Had to end up getting a new motor after 60k
I take it as kinda like a crap shoot. Some blow motors, some don't. Big chance to take IMO

takes $4k to bullet proof a 6.0 but then you're good to go.

Stay away from the 'early' 6.0L or as we call them 'sick-O.
Go with a 7.3L if all possible BUT they are hard to find.
If you do go with a 6.0L engine, buy as cheap as possible. You will have to spend about $5-6K just to get it back to good.
Usually you are going to have change out the FICM(Fuel Injection Control Module, about $550).
HOP(High Oil Pressure pump, about $600).
Fuel Injectors(8 injectors will run about $1800).
Go back with an oil cooler replace kit($300).
You may have to redo the head-gaskets, go with ARP stud kit(around $500),and go with back with OE headgaskets(about $175 per side), stay away from the after-market crap like Black Oynx(they are useless).
Plus go with a EGR delete kit(around $150).
BTW, get a good Ford DIESEL mechanic to do the work.
Stay away from the jake-leg mechanics who worked on a diesel 5 years ago. He will most likely screw-up your engine.
The diesels, after 2003, are a brand-new ball game
