I got a '06 6.0L. I too drive it about 5,000 miles a year. I haven't had any problems with it since I bought it 1 1/2 years ago. But the previous owner had 2 oil coolers, 2 egr coolers, and 1 set of head gaskets put on under the factory warranty between 50,000-80,000 miles. It has 120k on it now. The only thing I have replaced is the cracked y pipe ($500) and new tie rod end ($115). Not to mention replacing worn out 12.50x35x20 tires at $2000 that I knew it needed when I bought it.
I figured if the engine would last 25,000 miles (5,000 x 5 year payments) I could then afford to fix it when it breaks. I will put the arp head studs and egr delete kit on it when the egr cooler goes next time. Then, it will be one stout truck. I love mine, but know it is only due time till the cooler or head gaskets let go again. All diesel trucks have their downside. It is a pick your poison no win situation with any diesel from 03-08.
