>> 2004 6.0L engine has no problems like the 2003 did.

Okay, to make it clearer, I will change the above to read " The 2004-2005 
6.0L engine has no problems like the 2003 did.  Yes, Ford has gotten rid of 
the bugs in their 2004-2005 diesels.  I have first hand knowledge of the 
engine ""without"" the problems.  My 2004, almost two months old, runs like 
a champ.  My brother in law's 2004, ten months old, runs like a champ.  On 
the Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forum, 97% of members who purchased 6.0L diesels 
(and are members) have had no problems.  Ford bought back the other 3% and 
replaced them with 2004 and 2005 trucks or money back.  (as far as I know, 
all but one person took the new truck)  That 3% that were bought back were 
carted off to Ford's research facility to see WHY they had the problems.  I 
am sure all manufacturers would do the same, but I KNOW that Ford has done 
their level best to satisfy the owners of these problematic trucks.  Now if 
they would just get around to replacing the pin stripe on mine, I would be 
more satisfied.
