2006 f350 drw/wingnut lets here it

[JEFF69Z28]

Thinking about trading my 08 f250 6.4 for a 2006 f350 drw 4.10 gear 6.0 king ranch lariat with 115,000 on it, 13,000 gvwr,front gawr 6000,rear gawr 9000 to pull my 12897 pound cedar creek 5th wheel what do you all think?:confused:

Not sure of reasoning to go backward in years...except to get a 350 dually? I had an '07 350 dually that I put 98k+ on when the egr coolers went bad. Ford fixed it but I went ahead and traded for my '09 450.
The truck will handle the trailer just fine, but I think you need to be ready to work on the engine some--basic problem is the EGR/oil coolers/head stud stretch. If you are in a non-emissions state, I would either pull the coolers or get Bulletproof units and replace the head studs with ARP studs. Then use a tuner to help performance.
Many, many people feel the 6.0L is a good engine if the emissions junk is fixed/taken off, but you can't/shouldn't use a tuner without putting the ARP head studs in.
I also had an '04 with the 6.0 and it basically shelled itself out at 125k miles...maybe I'm just too hard on them.

I just researched the 6.0 and also the truck in question which had a turbo replaced in 2010 so I will not be buying said vehicle:-D
