I have a '99 F250 w 7.3 L diesel & 6-spd manual gearbox. I like it a
lot. 18-20 mpg. lots of power, 38 gal fuel tank
I subscribe to a PowerStroke email list. Those that have the 6.0 have
praised its power & economy. There is talk there about problems with
this engine however (mostly fuel injection IIRC). Ford is supposedly
working on fixes but is repairing problems on a case by case basis.
Rumor is that waiting for later 2004 models will get you all the
upgrades.
IMO, I'd look for a 7.3 L or wait to see if Ford fixes the issues with
the 6.0
