Then he said that the fuel filter alone costs 70 bucks

I pay 50 from the dealer, and its not like you get one filter, you get 2 filters and the o - rings, I replace every other oil change.

I don't care what you have, any motor out there has the potential to break down, for example my buddies D-Max just puked its head gaskets and he isn't running a tuner.

My Auto Zone didn't have them in stock but had
them there the next morning by noon.
They come two in the box.

I am at 146,000 miles on my 6.0. I have cleaned the EGR valve precisely, once. That was about 1000 miles ago. I did have to replace the radiator overflow, because it was cracked, and the most expensive was replacing a couple of injectors, the transmission, and a little front end work, though no ball joints. I tow with it nearly every day. My trailer weighs close to 8000 lbs. and is a bumper pull.
I think if you work them, they are far happier.

The guy at work you spoke to is a misinformed, uneducated douche.

LOL Well I already knew the that,but I thought even a broken clock is right twice a day.
I really didn't think he was right,but he was the second person that I work with that said Ford can't make diesel motors.When I tell them that my Dad has had a 7.3 for years,they say well when they went to the 6.0 they screwed up

I will go along with that....I mean there was nothing wrong with the 7.3. The 6.0 started off on a bad foot which affected its reputation for the long run. Perhaps didn't do enough testing with it:dunno
