New engine at 100K was probably done under warranty. As said below the 2003 and early 2004 engines were nothing but trouble. The late 2004 engine was much better (with a lot of changes) and they gradually got better each year of production.
Given the year and the fact it was replaced its probably one of the better 6.0s on the road.
I will say this, it seems none of the newer diesel engines in Ford, Chevy or Dodge will run 300k without periodic maintenance and part swapping. Its not uncommon to need a couple fuel injectors every 40K-50K or some (or several) sensor replacements and given the type of engine they are these "basic" parts are very expensive. The newer engines are running hotter and are much more powerful and you pay for it with more expensive repairs.
