Hey John just to clear up a few of your concerns on the Ford 6.0 PSD, the oil leaks have been a lot of minor things that have been fixed for the newer years like the 05 and 06 trucks. The only real thing that they haven't fixed is the fact that there aren't enough head bolts and many people have had gasket failures with them. They fail mostly because of the higher hp chips (mild ones have done well) when the turbo pushes so much boost into the engine, and the extreme pressure causes the bolts to stretch....and then comes the problem. They're not going to fix it because Ford is actually coming out with another all new powerstroke for either the 07 or 08 year. It's a 6.4 and has been heavily rumored to be a twin/staged turbo engine, with a common rail fuel system and other new to the PSD things. It's still in testing and so far it's been said that all the 6.0 problems will not carry over to it. I think Ford learned their lesson.
