Nice truck! Gotta love the 6.0 trash talk. My 6.0's are ran harder than any around and have over 500k between the 2. I love me a 6.0. Anybody that would do head studs or the like on a problem free 120k miled truck needs to have their head examined.
Friend of mine just dropped $6558 on his 04 POS engine this week.
If you can get the work done to make a 6.0 hold, they run out pretty good. The earlier ones were know to have issues, but there are alot of them out there and people have figured out how to get them to hold. Yes it takes money, but early 6.0's are usually alot cheaper than a comparable 7.3. Would i buy one? Hell no, i work on them everyday and thats as close to ownership i want to get. But i still think they are a sweet sounding engine!

Take a Duramax in for HGs or injectors and find out real quick what repairs on a diesel. $3500 each repair easy. I'd know, out of the 6 I've owned, 3 havw had BOTH. Not to mention an ficm and an EGR cooler on 2the others. Want a list for my Cummins trucks? Turbos, trans's........not to mention what has been added just to make them get out of their own way. Nothings perfect.
There isn't a vehicle out there that wont have a breakdown! Job security for some of us!!
I used to be diehard gm. Anymore i could care less, its just a preference.

Very well said and is a valid point. If people want to argue which is best, make a new thread in off topic and leave this guys picture thread alone. Nothing like bashing some new pride and joy to make them feel all warm and cozy inside.
Thanks guys! I'm really loving the truck so far. I bought a wideout for it that Im picking up on monday. Will also be putting tint on the front Windows along with vents, coolant filter kit, weatherguard saddle box with a roll up bed cover, back rack, whelen light bar and hideaways. And timberns if needed.
It is a nice looking truck! I had a friend with one and he had a few big issues early on, but the thing sounds awesome now and he has taken it to a few truck pulls and it performs very well for a street truck! Id take one!

My 04 has never let me down yet. It gets worked good in the winter. Never even had a problem with it. I bought it new and keep up on it.
Whaaaat!? You mean you didn't put a tuner on it, max it out and beat the pi$$ out of it..........only to cry when it blew a head gasket? You must not know how to treat a 6.0
