IT'S THE LUCK OF THE DRAW SOME ARE GOOD AND SOME ARE NOT SO GOOD I WORK AT A FORD DEALERSHIP AND SEE ALOT OF OF 6.0'S GETTING WORK ON A LOT OF THEM ARE COMPANY TRUCKS SO YOU CAN IMAGINE THE ABUSE THEY GET IT WAS THE SAME WAY WITH THE 7.3'S SOME WERE GOOD SOME WERE NOT SO GOOD OH AND CHUCK NORRIS THE RECALLS YOU MENTIONED ARE FOR A LOW CAB FORWARD THAT IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT TRUCK THAN AND 08 SUPERDUTY

I stand corrected on the recall's, We have just recieved our 1st 08 superduty today, Talk about tight quarters in the engine bay

I've heard that you need to pull the cab to do pretty much any repair. But I'm sure if ford planned on having to remove the cab to do any repair, they made it an easy procedure. Or else shop bills will skyrocket.

I have a 2006 f350 4x4 6.0 and love it its a very thirsty beast but the add ons I have really don't help. Knock on wood nothing wrong yet.
If you want to wait Toyota is talking to CAT now about a possible joint venture for the new Tundra in 09 ...........But as far as reliabilty depends on how you treat it.

Is that the Amarillo edition? A guy has one down the street and its the coolest edition truck ive ever came across, better than the Harley Davidsons in my opinion. His having a lift and nice chrome wheels doesnt hurt either.

Personally, i love the Outlaw package. (King Ranch, Harley, Amarillo are all still nice too though) The interior with the red and black two tone seats is SWEET!!!!!

Ive never seen or heard of the Outlaw. I have heard of the KingRanch but that never appealled to be as much as the Amarillo did. The Amarillo sticks out.

ford has 100,000 mile power train warranty they put new turbo and injectors in my truck at 93,000

they have a 100 thousand mile warranty but you have a 100 dollar deductible after your 3 yr 36.
the warranty is supposed to be null and void if you have a programmer or exhaust from the turbo back a cat back exhaust is OK at one time FORD was complaining about aftermarket air filters also on some repairs

That is correct. The high flow air filters such as the K&N style filters when not properly maintained would subject the turbos fans to excessive wear or sandblasting. I changed my fair share
