As said below you might want to stay away from the 03 and 04 6.0 engines. It wasn't just the assembly process that made "some" bad. The design of the injectors make them all prone to leaking - some leak worse than others and age and wear makes them all worse.
We have a few newer 6.0s and they will walk all over the older 7.3s we've had. The 6.0s get a little less mileage about 14-15 empty instead of 16-17 out of the 7.3s empty. Loaded they both get 9-11. We have two of the 6.4 and it is a real horse and out pulls both the 6.0 and makes the 7.3 look anemic - but empty mileage is only 13-14 empty and 9-11 loaded. We also have a V10 gas and it gets 13-15 empty - making it the main "driver" since gas is about 2/3s the price of deisel. Its power is more in line with the 7.3 (or a little less) but you don't notice it until you really load it up.
