Been shopping around and since Shauns wasnt for sale (LOL J/K) I went and finally found one with decent mileage that actually drove like it had low miles.

It is a 6.0 but its an 07 so who knows I plan to have left coast put head studs and egr delete.

Nice Don! I looked all over for a decent deal on either an 05 and later 6.0 excursion or an early 7.3 one but man those things are hard to come by used, under 120K miles and no one wants to sell them!

Haha cool , before they had a dyno he used to bring his truck to the shop I used to work at to do baseline runs, I remember because I used to have to clean the dyno walls from all the soot haha. Cool guy definately knows the diesel game

Damn bro that is nothing for mileage. Wow.


They had a few issues but they are such a good truck that there is plenty of fixes and if you know how to turn a wrench you can go 400,000 there are tons of guys on powerstroke.org with 6.0s with over 300k.

Egr cooler and oil cooler from bulletproof along with cat extended life coolant and you are good to go.

Ignorant folks are quick to jump on the band wagon about them being junk but its just like the rumor of 5.0s starting on fire from the late 80s early 90s....it was a simple fix....or with the torque boxes rippin out on fox bodies with power, slicks or deenuts....preventative work went/goes a long way.

Either way Im very happy. I drove the duramaxx, cummins etc etc.

My pop's 06 f250 6.0 just hit 190k and is completly stock, and trust me he puts that truck to the test [burnout] ! rain,snow,towing etc, but he always takes care of maintance. That could be the reason why its running so great. Either way your truck looks really nice!
