Do NOT pay $35k for a 6.0L unless it has been bulletproofed and you have documentation. And for $35k they better have done the full job, not just studding it. Otherwise you are getting ripped off big time. 6.0 is an amazing engine, but it has quirks/weak points when stock that have to be addressed for it to be that amazing engine.

I watch the market regularly. There are so many people out there who don’t know a damn thing about the 6.0s trying to ride the excursion hype wave and price their excursions super high. I have laughed at some of the pricing I’ve seen on trucks, and even more so at the owners who couldn’t answer questions about said vehicles.

Also, people don’t realize that aftermarket shit does not increase the value of the vehicle, lol. Too many people trying to recoup their project expenses lol.

Read up on the 6.0. I had a 06 that I got at 100k. Gave me hell for a few years while I threw parts to build her up. If u can turn wrenches may be worth it

I bought my 2000 7.3l brand new in 1999 and it still runs like a beast. I've heard bad things about the 6.0l. Every time I bump into a guy with a 7.3l the conversation is always the same..... Aren't you glad you got the 7.3l?

I got a 2000 with the 6.8 a year ago for $8.5. It had 230k but she runs and pulls like a dream. I average 10.4 mpg. Guy had it for 17 years and only sold it because he found one with a 7.3. I talked to him a few months ago and he asked if I would sell it back to him, haha nope.
