Default What, (if any) are the known problems with the 2006 Ford 6.0 PS

Getting ready to pull the trigger on an new truck, and I don't want to get a "Problem child" from the git go. I'm not that Ford brand loyal that I wouldn't consider a Dodge if the new 2006 Power strokes are having headgasket or any other issues.
Thanks,
Dean

I've got 37k on my 2004 F-250 6.0 pulling a 29' Fountain or 28 Eliminator cat. It's been in the dealer shop more times than I care mention, New Turbo, computer problems, and I just got it back the other day for blown head gaskets, that were replaced. The dealer did cover everything under warranty. I have always been a Ford person, but have not been happy with this one.

El05,
Sorry to hear about all your problems. At least Ford is standing behind product. Did you buy it new? Can you do the lemon law sell back, (Fl. has a auto lemon law, I think it's 3 visits to dealer for same problem in 1st year or 12,000 miles.)?
Wasn't 2004 the first year for the 6.0 PS/Torqueshift tranny?

Thanks for the input everybody,

MC,
I'll give you a PM tomorrow, I've been laying bed SICK all holiday, and highlighing all the options we want in a 2006 brouchure!
Dean

All the problems were pretty much worked out in '04.
2004-1/2 and later 6.0L's should have no problems.

I'm loving my '05.
