03 F350 6.0 diesel

[chach3835]

I am looking at a 03 F350 crew cab with 77k miles on it. What should I be looking for to see if there are motor issues. Isn't this the worst year for these motors? I really want to get a 02 7.3 PS but this truck is pretty nice and the guy might be willing to trade for my stang. I really don't know much of the 6.0 what I do know is that they were junk in 03 and had alot of issues with their heads. LMK your input

Run an OASIS report on it, thats the only true way to find out if it was a problem child.

I have a 03 6.0, it is a great truck, but it does have a cold start problem. the power of it compared to a 7.3 is second to none. I believe my cold start problem is on or more of my injectors. it has 170000 miles with no problems other that the cold start....

Ford has a recent reflash for the computer regarding that cold start. It's called the inductive heat flash, and I hear it's made a world of difference. Since you're out of warranty, it'll probably run you $100.
