I have an 03 with 85k on it. Had to have the PCM flashed and have a CEL on for the ICP sensor and I have an alternator on the fritz.... other than that it is PM... oil and filters and drive it....... Love the truck and the 6.0

I have an 03 6L and have had a fair share of problems 16 injectors, head gasket, egr cooler, etc. I have 130K on odo and am the original owner. Are there any good stories out there? I don't understand why you'd put all the aftermarket goodies on something with such a horrible reputation. I like my truck I just hate that it spends at least a month a year at the dealers shop waiting on repairs/warranty issues.

how many mile increments did you change the oil ?



are you the only driver ?
(have you ever left it out of your site ? )

there are plenty of items to think about before blaming the motor.

My 03 is still running strong, 58K on the engine and the only thing i had so far was a rough idle when i starter up. Took it to Ford dealership and had a fuel injector service done and it runs like a champ. Other than basic maintenance and the one recall, nothing wrong....yet
