7.3 is a robust engine. Would probably need an overhaul (not a replacement) somewhere in the mid 300K range. How's the tranny - betcha it's not the original?

The dealer doesn't know if it's been replaced or not. How would I be able to tell.

Don't know.

Was hoping some records came with the truck.

The dealer could run the VIN through the system, might be able to come up with repair records from Ford Service Departments.

Anyone out there with a 6-liter with 50,000 or so miles and no problems? If so, how is the truck used? Also, are there any public records available as the the percentage of repairs on this engine under the warranty?

I JUST PASSED 50.000 AND ITS HAD NO PROBLEMS EXCEPT I GOT A BAD TANK OF FUEL AND I'VE HAD TOO CLIMB UNDER THE TRUCK ABOUT 10 TIMES TOO DRAIN THE FUEL WATER SEPARATOR. AND IAM NOT CRAZY ABOUT THE MPG WHICH IS ABOUT 15 ON AVERAGE I HAVE A 03 SUPER DUTY 6.0 4X4 SUPERCAB .THE HARDEST THING IT DOES IS PULL A 5X8 TRAILER AT MOST 5000 IBS.ITS BEEN A GOOD TRUCK AND I WONDER IF CHIPPING IT WOULD GIVE ME BETTER MPG OR JUST PROBLEMS I HAVE ENOUGH POWER

You may not wanna mess with a "good thing" I've heard a lot of annecdotal stories about folks chipping their 6.0 diesels and ending up with a whole bunch of problems.

DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT.
 
Unless you know someone willing to pay your repair bills.
 
NO mod chip maker has the resources to even begin to write better code for this complicated engine than Ford.
 
Just what kind of MPG do you expect?
 
Mark.

Does anyone know the largest tire you can fit on a 06 250 crew FX4 with 18" rims? If so, what brand tire? Seems like the options for the 18" rims are limited, can't seem to find anything larger than a 275/70/18. Thanks

Does anyone know the largest All Terrain tire available for a 06 F250 FX4 with 18" rims? Seems like 275/70/18 is all I can find in that cheap factory cont. tire. Is there a larger size that will fit with minimum rub and if so, what brand?? Thanks
