Looked fairly good, I went down in the dark and looked at it. I would like to go see in the day light. Maybe take a step ladder with too.

Op I wouldn't be scared of a 6.0 you just have to understand its flaws and how to fix them!

Oh man I am not scared of the 6 uhohh I am just trying to get a feel for everyones experience with them since this would be my second truck, I know that i will need to put money into it right away but I need to know that my money is worth going into it.

Well the way I see it is, egr delete is number one thing! I know alot of ppl who have never had a problem! When adding a tuner you will need head studs. But think of it as a 7.3 at 400hp you be putting head studs in. So a 6.0 with custom tunes is gonna 400+ so why wouldn't you need studs?

I here ya man but with the 05 and up you can't fully delete the egr because it has a flow sensor so I just found an 04 with a 130,xxx on it for 15995. Probably going to go look at it today.

I bought mine 2 summers ago 2005 crew cab. for about the same price with 86000 miles. I think price wise, you should get it cheaper, unless there is something special about it.

The only thing about it that I can see right now from the website is that it already has a 4in exhaust, wheels and tires but that is it. I will keep you all up to date on it when I go look at it this afternoon. The big thing that I see with price is that it is at a small dealership and colorado usually has higher priced diesels from what I am beginning to notice.
