re: I may be in the market for an F-250 over the next few months

I have and am currently living the nightmare that is the 6.0 engines. Have a couple 550's with the 6.0 and I have spent $20k plus this year alone keeping them running. As soon as the crews that use them get done on their project out of town I sending them to auction and replacing with '12 plus. Ford and international (i think they made the engine) should be kicked in the nuts for this engine.

6.0 was the worst motor made.

...um... 6.4? cough cough

The 6.0 was not that bad once bulletproofed. If not hotrodded they would go until the turbos puked oil. Round about 240k on average.

Best one is to do the ford with a 5.9 cummins swap. Best combo never made. Given how much you can get a shitty 6.4 with a junk motor for, it almost makes sense.
