I bought an 06 2500 6.0l gas with 140,000 and a $4,000 plow setup for $12,000 here 2 years ago. The " bulletproof" LS motor failed around 180,000. I have a new motor in it now (Cost me $3200) and several electrical issues with it. I like the power and towing, but it's just not something I would buy again. The gas mileage is horrible, but it pulls anything I have ever hooked it up to. If you aren't going to be working the truck I would get a 1500, way better mileage out of the 5.3 and it will pull a camper pretty easily unless you have some 40ft+ job.


I mean just because you got one that didn't make it to 300k doesn't mean it's not a good motor. I love shit talking LS motors but credit where credit is due. They're cheap to mod and last forever.

The only LSs I've heard about failing that wasn't the owner's fault for lack of maintenance, were within 2 months of coming from the factory.

Yeah I'm not sure why I thought it was a Ford at first lol
It's blatantly stated in the topic.

Oh. Because it was 6 minutes after the new year and I was hammered.

Well then you need to get out of the Ford garage. Mine the #1 cylinder went bad and was sucking exhaust into the intake. I'm not aware of how the previous owner treated it, but I did regular maintenance when it was due to be done. The LS is known for reduced engine power also.(google it if you don't believe me) Mine does it whenever it feels like it. I have replaced everything the computer said it could possibly be and still has issues. You'll just be driving along and it won't let you rev over 1500 RPM. I changed all the sensors including TPS and Replaced the gas pedal even. I'm done with vehicles with computers in them, my next vehicle will be from the 70's and I'll just restore it.
