I have personal experience with the Ford 6.0 diesel. I bought a 2004 F350 with
60K on it in 2006. At 80K it popped the head gaskets, took it in to the dealer
and after taking it apart they found scoring in most cylinders. Replacement motor
since it was under the 100K warranty Ford replaced the motor for a cost to them
of about $12K. I spent around $500 having the radiator and intercooler sent out
for inspection and cleaning, new belts, new hoses.

At 134K had to replace the turbo ($1700) and then 10 months/6K later it went
out again. Replaced under warranty.

I sold that truck and the service manager told me move up to a 2011 or new
for the 6.7 diesel.

I now have a 2012 Dodge Ram 3500 and am very happy with it.
