Not long after I bought my truck, like 45 miles later, the oil cooler took a crap. Dealership fixed it without charging me. My egr valve got screwed up a little while back, but got that fixed... welded the thing closed. I know egr delete kits are a great idea, but here in Colorado, the emission testers LOOK FOR THE COOLER. If you get the 6.0 look into the bulletproof egr cooler. I think it is sort of a hit or miss on these motors. Some people have major problems rather quickly and some don't. I have almost 95,000 miles and no MAJOR issues. I got an oasis report on my truck and all that had to be done to it in the past wast new turbo hoses, computer update, and egr valve cleaned. The 6.0l can be a real mean motor, especially if all the "precautionary" things are addressed. Just my
