04 6.0 as daily driver

[bern rattler]

I run mine 80 miles a day, 5 days a week, all interstate and NEVER idle more than 2-3 minutes. And this morning I dropped it off at the shop for a new turbo. With 104000 on it the turbo finally started to hang up. I just went ahead and had a new one installed instead of trying to clean the old one. I still love the truck and this is the only major problem I've had so far. Good luck!

Go ahead and pull the trigger, go to a diesel F-250. You'll probably never go back!

Mine is an '04 6.0, daily driver. My wife prefers to ride in it, over her Nissan!
I've never had any trouble with it, and the modification possibilities are endless!

I drive mine 15 miles each direction to work and back home. I have an AFE stage 2 intake, MBRP turboback duals with cat delete, and a SCT XCal2 with custom tune with EGR delete. It is mostly stop and go traffic and I get around 12 mpg. The thing my truck hauls is my fat *** and it smokes the ricers with their boomboom stereos. Keith
