I have 2 buddies with 6.0’s that have had nothing but problems with them. After one of them put 4k+ into fire ringing and studding the block the truck runs great, but I don’t want to spend 25k on a truck and have to put 4k more into it so I can drive it. Yes, my 7.3 may not be the fastest or most powerful thing out there but its a fantastic motor that runs forever, I’m at 214k miles and haven’t had many MAJOR issues with it and I tow with it fairly often ie 25 weekends a year only 26K more miles till the tranny goes again… honestly though, the transmission in the 7.3 is the only downfall to that truck. although didn’t fat mark have to spend like 7 grand rebuilding his tranny too? --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/pros-cons-of-6-0-powerstroke-engine/205035)._
