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

Sean, my 04 has 58k on it with the edge and turbo back, no problems, just started looking for an 06, found 2 king ranches, I have'nt heard of any problems, just looking to upgrade, Let me know if you hear anything wrong or problems with them, are you looking for 250 or 350? which gears 3.73 or 4,10. pretty good deals msrp 52,305 buy at 43,185, is this a good deal?

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.

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.
