What year is it? The biggest problems with the 6.0's was in 03, and 04. They pretty much got the bugs worked out after that. I have an 06 that I like except I hate the factory lockouts. The problems with the early model years was with the EGR which can be taken out or welded shut (labor intensive job). Lots of heads were replaced due to antifreeze leaking out the exhaust but the actual problem was this egr valve (I don't know exactly what it does but it's emissions related). Everybody that I know that has had trouble had it right away with a fairly fresh engine, and another thing to add might be a coolant filter ($200 and easy to self install). Like I say I like mine but like others have said after running countless 7.3l 450's when I was working construction I would rather have a 7.3 than my 6.0 but I am not unhappy with the 6.0. I'm sure someone will have better details on what I said but that is my .02.
