Imo, 6.0s aren't a good first truck. Yes, they can be really reliable, after they've gotten the works done. That also takes cash. Don't get me wrong, I love my 6.0, but a 12 valve or 7.3 is a good starter. If you're mechanically inclined and feel like you're able to do head gaskets and head studs, then a 6.0 is a good candidate.
@Vincent Np. I'm not trying to steer you away from a 6.0, I'm just being upfront. If you think you can handle what it takes to make a 6.0 reliable, I say do it. Of you're new to diesel, 12 valves or 7.3s are much simpler. Haha
@@brettrichards666 yeah I got you, after doing the little research I did so far, I realize that the 6.0 was kinda designed poorly because of all the problems it has stock.

I previously had a super low mileage 7.3 and it had ZERO pressure in the coolant bottle but thn I bought a 12 6.7 powerstroke and it has pressure in the coolant bottle, I always thought no pressure in the bottle was good? So if there's pressure in the coolant bottle it's good? Serious question
Hell yeah I love my 2006 Harley Davidson 6.0 I will never sell it however I am trying to get an 11-16 6.7 cuase I don’t wanna beat up my 06 and wear it out so I want a more stronger truck

The screen is on the ipr valve not the icp, the icp is known for going bad and the oil pressure pushes all the way threw into the pigtail and it doesnt read correctly. I just had a hot no start on my 04 and it was a mixture of a bad ipr (screen was distroyed) and shot orings on the stand pipes
