Im looking now at 2011 6.7's and it seems that you can find them used for around $30k. That's a little more than I want to spend but that's the price for 6.7's. Most are 140K-180K mileage wise. Is this high mileage for this engine or will these trucks last like my 7.3? Id like to get my moneys worth. Thanks again guys!:hail

Diesel engines run much longer than gas engines. This should last as long as your 7.3. This is why all Big truckers use diesel engines. That and the economy of the diesel vs a gas engine.

If it's been [properly maintained].... 150K is not much to worry about. Do a Carfax... or have Ford check it out ?

Looking underneath it can tell you a lot about where its been.

The early 6.7s had a lot of turbo issues and the aftertreatment system is always a ticking time bomb for when it's going to fail. But they do make great power for towing. Also towing frequently will keep the engine temp up and keep the exhaust system cleaner
