Guys most of you know me and know i am in a ram 2500 cummins. i want to be in another ford again so bad, BUT i am getting very scared about getting a 6.0... i thought the later years 06-07 were alot better, but im hearing these stories on here, and they seem to be bad also...i definately dont want a 6.4 for emmisions reasons, and fuel economy.....What do i do?!:confused:

the only REAL <new> issue w/ the 05-07 is the change in the hpop
pump connections & theres a recall on it !

dont go messing w/ the pressure(s) (injection & boost) and you
should be fine !

Like Bush said the 05-07 motors had a slight change. The first 6.0's were plauged with problems, but the more recent have been pretty reliable. Look at the big picture, how many 6.0's are out there and how many of those have problems? There are a whole bunch that have had no issues, you only hear about the ones that do. I would buy another 6.0 E series van right now, if I could find one.

I rolled the dice and bought a used 06. But I didnt just blindly buy, I researched here for common problems to the 6.0L and got the vehicle service history (OASIS), armed with that knowledge and a good test drive I made my purchase.
