the 6.0 is fine just don't buy an '03, they had a lot of issues with maintence when they came out that causes issues, if you leave it stock and take care of a 6.0 it will be a damn good motor.....or just throw some new headgaskets and EGR studs in it then a EGR delete kit you will have a bullet proof truck
Yeah... Just pull the top end of your engine apart to make it reliable....

OR... Buy a Chevy or Dodge from the get go and dont worry about anything but shredding transmissions!
