Question for you gents with 6 liter experience. I am in the process of deciding what to replace the Suburban with and think I would like it to be diesel.
The tour of duty will include towing a 22' enclosed trailer with a GT40 inside, hauling a slide in camper, and towing a boat. Two of these activities will potentially be taking place concurrently.
I am pretty serious on the hauling capabilities so I am more inclined to go with diesel. I found a '05 F350 crew cab long bed with the 6.0 Powerstroke and I know there is a crapstorm of opinions about them. In researching the motor, there seems to be a lot of vocal people who have had terrible experiences with them- and for every one who has, there seems to be others (less vocal) who haven't. Some say only consider the 7.3l, some say stick with Dodge and Cummins, others say take care of it properly and you're fine. I am somewhat at the stage of analysis paralysis.
The other forums I've been poking through don't seem to have the signal to noise that we usually have here so I thought I'd ask around. Anyone have any experience with the 6.0?
Thanks in advance,
