Decisions....Gas or Diesel

Everyone I talk to around here that works on them all say the same thing. That the 6.0 Powerstroke is the best one ever made.........AFTER you spend 6K doing all the bulletproofing stuff. Once that's done, they are supposedly the baddest of the bad. I've seen a few and believe it. Mine was junk. At 36K it was pukin oil back through the turbo and losing coolant.....I diagnosed it myself. Head gaskets leaking. Just like most all of them. Dealer said it was the EGR cooler and put FIVE on it. Still did the same thing. I got sick of it and traded it. Had I bought one of the last 7.3s, I'd still have it. Oh well.
we made the mistake of trading in our 7.3 to get the 6.0 ( got a great deal because I worked there ) luckily we have avoided most of the 6.0 problems with ours.
260k on it now but, we deleted the egr cooler, put in a coolant filter and put a exhaust on it. the body is beyond toast due to the salty roads up here.
as soon as dad gets his new Ram she will be retired for and sold off ( before the bed blows off..... )
