Yes, the early ('03) 6.0 diesels had problems. I have an '04 and it's great. It gets 21.5 mpg on the road, 13.0 mpg hauling, and 14.41 on the 1/4 mile. I put a K&N breather on it and a SuperChips programmer...the best truck I have ever owned. Certainly beats the gas-powered '97 GMC big block in both economy & performance. If you can find a deal on an '04, IMO you should at least check it out. Happy shopping!
