Same thinking here, I've always had newer vehicles and was about to buy a 2020 Ram 2500 Limited ($75K). Instead I bought a 2007 F-250 Outlaw edition for $15K with 137K miles, I've put about $7K into it thus far and will do another $6-7K next year to finish it off (studs, injectors, turbo, glow plugs, cab mounts..etc). At the end of the day I'll have a lot more truck for less than half the price...and no payments. Loving the truck

exactly, the economics outweigh the problems. Buy older, it's built like a tank, do the upgrades and you're still less than half of a BS new one with a 12" screen in it. Seems they're all selling iPads rather than frame and motor nowadays.

What oil do u use?

Im a Ford diesel mechanic 14+ year. I drive a 2006 6.0 with 250k had it since 85k. The bad rap the 6.0 gets it’s cause buy bad mechanics that don’t know what they are doing and/or people using aftermarket filters. And bad services. If you use Ford filters and proper maintenance you can’t beat them for work and towing. I beat the crap out of mine all the time and it is a awesome work horse.

I bought a 6.0 two years ago. Just like yours an older gentleman owned it. It was a 2005 with 44,000 miles. I’ve got 75,000 on it now and the only thing that broke was the starter. It’s my farm truck and has done everything I’ve wanted it to. Completely stock except I put an exhaust on. I was always afraid of the 6.0 from the horror stories I’d heard but that hasn’t been the case with mine. I also own a 2018 6.7 powerstroke. The only advantage I see with it is when I’m pulling the stock trailer

I am on my second also. Just put a new ficm in tonight as mine was not buzzing injectors but ran fine.

I just bought a 04 f250 6.0 it's got around 270000 runs great vary well maintained from previous owner. And work has been done in on an all around this truck !! So far it was a great investment for what I got it for .an agree great sounding power stroke!!

6.0s are great! You can usually pick one up cheap, and they’re very easy to fix! Just keep up on your maintenance. Run extended life coolant. Use only Motorcraft filters, and delete the egr. Do those 4 things and you’ve just eliminated most of your problems.

keeping up on your maintenance eliminates most of your problems with any vehicle, alot of people kinda skip out on basic regular maintenance and then complain on how they have to spend a few grand every year to keep it running....

I have an 05 Excursion. Bought in early 05 with 7 miles on it. Has 184,000 miles runs great? Has Banks exhaust, bulletproof EGR, and air intake. 4” lift with 35’s. Still love it!

I have over 500k kms on my '06 F350 Lariat FX4. Never been to the shop in the time I've owned it, pretty much OEM stock, no power upgrades. They require a lot of maintenance but I just love the truck. Owned 3 F150's but the PSD is my favourite.

It’s interesting... I have an 04 that I bought with 112k in 2015. Now has 185k. Over the years, I’ve replaced the hpop, 4 injectors, and the oil cooler (added coolant filter at that time). Not studded. Pulls and stops our 13k pound fifth wheel with ease. My dad bought an 03 with 109k and had the exact same issues soon after buying it. Now has 220k. Pulls his 26 foot camper (not sure of weight) with ease. Both trucks are deleted, no tuners, 5k synthetic oil changes, 10k fuel filter changes. Point is after we installed the revised parts and kept up with maintenance we’ve had no issues. You’re right about the 6.0 community. Often, issues are somewhat simple to resolve. Neither of us spent more than $12k for our trucks. We’ve each put $7500 or so in to them if you include things like ball joints, brakes, alternators, etc. A new one is $60-80k. Ours are paid for and look/drive excellent so, even if we have to drop $10k to do major overhauls, we’re good with that. That’s less than a year of payments on a new one.

I was gifted one of these for my 17th birthday. Dad went out and found a 2006 with 272,000 miles on it, and paid $8000. Had 4x4, a lift, fancy wheels, these gaudy reupholstered ostrich leather seats, and more. It definitely looked cool to a 17 year old. But it was in the shop a total of 4 times- one for the high pressure oil pump, second to replace the turbo Y pipe, third was after the FICM got fried , and the 4th visit to the diesel doctor was for a bad injector. The final straw was when a piston committed suicide. My dad got tired of paying for it so he told me it was either sell it and find something else, or I’d have to start footing the bill every time it took a shit. Turns out the truck had been repo’d twice before (so if they weren’t making the payments you know they didn’t do maintenance on the damn thing ever) and the guy who owned it before us was a young guy who used it as a construction work truck and had some psycho tuner plugged in. Which explained all the problems. Anyway, I got rid of it for what it was worth, and bought another 6.0, this time an 03, that an old guy bought brand new and treated it like it was his child. The stack of maintenance receipts was thicker than a bible. The earlier 6.0s have a reputation for being the worst ones, but I had ZERO problems with it for a few years before growing up and deciding I needed something more practical. Goes to show they are great trucks if you know they were treated well in the past, and you continue proper maintenance.

If you just getting into to driving Diesel ANYTHING, expect to spend a lot of $ maintaining it Above recommendations and it will survive, and abuse and neglect of diesel go hand in hand=failures of the Vehicle. So do your maintenance with OEM parts and Specs, run motorcraft everything, utilize Archoil in every tank of fuel, change your Oil every 6,000 miles, dump and fill your transmission & coolant reservoir to keep everything as fresh as possible with the oil changes, I personally use a vacuum style pump to empty the brake reservoir and refill it as well along with taking a wretched to all the turbo system boots see if the band has any movement before you just tighten and tighten if necessary. Changing your Air filter is key, once per 6 months or every 2 oil changes, pulling your air intake off and inspect the turbo every oil change wear a glove and put light hand pressure on the center of the compressor wheel, make sure it has no play, oil changes and ensuring your motor is feeding fresh oil throughout the motor can and will ensure 300k+ miles out of your turbo system and injectors among other components.

Greetings, I'm out here in California. I recently found a 2004 F250 6.0. I've talked to the owner and the engine is stock. Any tips?

I have an 05. She was a refinery truck for her first 160K. Got fleet maintenance with OEM parts. Great runner. Have had her for 8 years and have kept up the maintenance. She's at 280K and I'm having new injectors installed. Have used her to pull my 27 Ft boat and to haul full loads of firewood and waste oil over the winter....Leave her stock and use OEM.....and check those fuel tank straps! Yours is the right age. I get 15MPG and she handles well in the snow.

As long as it was taken care of maintenance wise it could be a good buy. Stock trucks are getting harder to find

Run Cat elc coolant and stay up on maintenance, oil and fuel filters & you’re golden . I have an 06 in Cali and original owner truck has been flawless 150k . The high oil pressure pump stc fitting went out but there’s an upgrade fitting for it . But since I was there I just put a new pump with the upgraded fitting . Pump is only a few hundred bucks & while I was doing that I also did all the upgraded dummy plugs on the oil rail . Pretty simple upgrades and maintenance & love my truck .

Nice truck I'd like to have a 06 6.0

I enjoy it

Fix them before they break is the key power stroke specialties etc however I'm a lifelong mechanic and ford should have done alot better upfront I agree 6.4 is garbage a properly upgraded 6.0 is a tough very good motor however it will cost you greatly!!!!your choice

Every Ford mechanic I’ve spoken to has told me that it goes like this: In stock format, 6.0 and 6.4 are crap! 6.7 is hit or miss, and the 7.3 of old is a sure winner. Personally looking for a 94-97 7.3, 3/4 ton or 1 ton, with a crew cab, long bed, 4x4, and a 5 spd. with less than 120k miles to call my own.

I know relatives that bought brand new 6.0s back in 2006 and there truck barely started to have issues due to the egr delete his truck has rooughly 275k

Should I buy a 2006 f250 6.0 99k miles for 22k miles or wait until prices go down?

@PackGarage

Unfortunately, prices probably won't be coming down any time soon, not within the next year or two at least. compared to the trucks around my area, 22k for a truck with only 99k miles is a pretty good deal

First ill get my radier then ill get this. Somthing about these 250s I liked

I found one, guy says it's bulletproof and it's got a new ipr system along with other stuff he's done. It sounds REALLY strong and yeah, I can see some of the aftermarket piping on it but he didn't zoom in in the video. He's asking 7500 but I plan to offer him 5 cash. At that price, I'm more than comfortable. 215k miles on it so it seems to be doing pretty good. Once I verify he's got all the paperwork and such, no idea if he's done the egr if not I will cuz fuck them stupid ass things. I'm praying this is actually on the up n up cuz I need a daily driver for work. And at that price, God forbid, but if something goes wrong I can fix it or again seriously God forbid the engine dies, I can just do a cummins and allison swap. I'd rather keep something and upgrade it than get rid of it and be out of a daily driver. Besides, gotta get to and from work in order to make money and get my 68 charger.

No paperwork means it never happened, unless I can see the parts or you have pictures. Im looking for a lariat now , just looking for a trustworthy seller

Thats a great looking truck. The way should look, i am not a fan of ricer trucks w the wheel spacers 😂😂

Thanks man! Nothing worse then the whole tire sticking out of the fenders 🤦🏼‍♂️

***OIL COOLER*** stay on top of your oil cooler! mine went and sent metal shavings to 5/8 injectors took our my hpop and ipr... 8000 dollars later and a month of downtime at a diesel shop... if i had only have known! my truck only had 260k km* ... im canadian lol so not even 200k miles.. I spent more in parts than I did on the truck for 6500 lol in other words stay on top of your maintenance aka oil changes filters and every 100k do your oil cooler... cheers from up north eh!

Because you beat on it. I have 6.0 250k two wheel drive for a grand. Heads studded I paid a grand for it. Only thing I do is change the oil.

Aye bro how did you fix the crank no start problem? Because I just bought a 6.0 and it’s doing the same

keep the 7.3 and buy a 6.0

If you don’t beat them up and keep up on standard maintenance, they shouldn’t be an issue

TRUE SO TRUE MAN.

EPA ruined Ford 6.0 power stroke because of EPA emissions good reason to 6.0 power stroke will have plenty of power and torque and Kit's to do mods good condition 6.0 power stroke F-250 and F-350 awesome steal in today's truck market

You also changed the stock rims

6.0 ALL DAY LONG BABY!!!!!

Yes it really is

Nothing sounds as nice as a 6.0 powerstroke

I had a 7.3 powerstroke for 2 days and it blew a rod out the side of the block. If I’m buying another ford diesel it’s gonna be a 6.0.
