Everyone needs to go to www.thedieselstop.com. I checked it out this weekend. I couldn't believe some of the stuff. It was just down right an eye opener. Ford Tech said he PDI(Pre delivery Inspection) on some new 6.0's that came off the car hauler. When they pulled them off they were pouring coolant. It wasn't one it was 2 trucks. Said he saw it happen several times. No wonder they lost so much money last quarter. Unbelievable!!!!!!!

Wow, folks, what a debate. As an update, I did speak to someone at Ford over the phone about one of their 6.0s on the lot. I said, "Swear to me this isn't an issue". He said, "Hang on and let me go back to service and check on the this engine". Came back on the line and said it was ok. I don't remember verbatum, but I think he was checking on the date it had been made. When I went down to the dealership, that truck was sold. Spoke to the same guy and he swore we hadn't had the conversation we'd had. He said all the engines were just fine.
After all this, I think I'm actually going to wind up downgrading my trailer to a 2H BP and going with gas.

Ford dosen't make the only diesels. You still have the Chevy Durmax and the Dodge w/ Cummins which are both very nice trucks. Go drive each one at least before you make your decision to buy gas. Since Chevy bumped their warranty up to 100,000 miles they are worth looking at for sure. Go check and see.
