No mods...... a 6.0 will be fine, if you plan to mod it get a 7.3, but if you must have a 6.0 and mods, do the head bolts and O-rings or you will most likely have issues with head gaskets...

I found an 06 F350 SRW crew cab with the 6.0 diesel with 8,000 miles in a color and trim package that works for me up here for about 22k.

I think that it may be a manual trans. They don't say, and a vin check didn't tell me tranny type.

I was going to call the dealer this morning.
My first tow vehicle was a clutch, and I grew to hate it. Even with other manual cars and bikes. Not the same. Want automatic.Warning: This post may contain language unsuitable for minors or math not suitable for liberal-arts majors.

If you come to your senses and find a Dmax you like, I can run the vin to get the build sheet and warranty history.

I still cannot get over the IFS on a heavy duty truck....I have had a torsion bar fail, don't want that with a 10,000lb load behind you... I like the SFA for a HD vehicle, guess thats me.. and GM interiors tend to rattle alot...
Besides that they look good and the Duramax is good.., well looked good till 07, I like the older style much better..35 Cigarette Mistress

I am a die hard Ford guy to begin with, but do like the style of the older GMC and Chevy trucks, ride good, I have had 4 SD Fords and loved every one, they all have issues somewhere, I do however think Ford and even Dodge has the HD truck market hands down.
My 99 F350 with 360K on it rides amazing and barely has any interior rattle, drives straight and all...in the end it is all about maintainence....I think GM would do better with a SFA under the new trucks, but the "all new" 2011 still has IFS
Good luck hope you find a good one like I did!! 4 times!35 Cigarette Mistress

If you get a GM truck, the 06 and 07 Classic style are the best Gm ever made. The newer ones have the new pollution equipment and get about 2 mpg less. The 06 and 07 also have the 360hp engine which has great torque starting at about idle. And the Allison 6 speed automatic is the best trans out there.I have an 07 and I'm going to keep it until the wheels fall off. It's really that good.
