The 6.0L is a good engine.
All the crap ford put on that engine to make it emmissions legal caused most of the problems.
You will have to do at least 2 things to make them dependable and get better milage.
1 run an aftermarket ECU program to control the engine.
2 Delete the EGR (it leaks coolant into your intake).
You should strongly consider a 3rd item since you want to tow that 8k trailer...
3 Replace the OEM's oil cooler thermostat assembly.
Or get an older duramax.
