Run don't walk away from ANY Ford 6.0 diesel. The JD dealer I retired from bought three F350 with the 6.0 diesel. The first was a 2005. Ford spent over $17,000 in repairs on the motor in the first two years. Then it was out of warranty and the dealer was hooked for another $6500 in the third year. The last two where 2006 models. Ford Company gave him a heck of a discount on them since he had so much trouble with the first one. Well they did not hold up any better than the first one.
In the fall of 2006 all three service trucks went down right in the middle of the fall harvest. All engine problems. He had to pay his techs to use their personal pickups to run service calls. This left them with out a crane, welder, generator, and compressed air. It caused one of his best service techs to rupture three disks in his back trying to man handle a kernel processor out of a self propelled chopper. The tech missed almost a year of work and still has back problems.
In Dec. of that year he bought three new Chevy Doromax trucks and moved the service beds over on them. He put the Fords out in front of his store with a big billboard telling what kind of junk they where. He sued Ford and fought them for almost two more years. Ford did end up paying him a chunk of money.
The Chevy's have been bullet proof for them. One truck needed new injectors at 150K the other two have not had anything done other than routine maintenance.
You may get a cheap truck or you might just get a multi thousand dollar repair bill on wheels.
