I have a 2003 F250 FX4 with the 6.0L diesel and about 95,000 miles. I had trouble with the air conditioner, have replaced the fuel pump, and some other little things that seemed to happen all at once; and really almost turned me against the superduty series. But I haven't had any troubles since. The 6.0 is a strong and efficient engine. The last time I checked highway fuel economy was at 19 miles per gallon running 75mph. I think I average 15-16mpg though because I'm too into fast takeoffs. Your son should consider the loads he is going to pull. Maintenance costs are alot higher for a 3/4 or 1 ton diesel truck, but if you pull heavy loads alot of miles, then they are the way to go. I only pull two horses occasionally, but bought the truck thinking it would last me forever, and planning to expand the herd and get a 4-horse gooseneck. Honestly, if the truck is not going to be used for constant heavy work, I'd consider the Toyota Tundra. The last time I checked, they had the best reliability ratings. That might get me blacklisted on this website, but it is a fact. Check with Consumer Reports.

12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
