If you search this forum I think it has been mentioned that they are different. Don't take my word for it though my memeory has been known to be wrong :o
Are you getting another X ?

f350 reg cab 8' bed. xl, 6.0 5spd auto, snow plow package and that is about it. Can't afford it right now, but can't keept getting left on the side of the road...
With owning the X outright and rebates and such my payments should be in the $250 range...hopefully.
NO ONE can figure out what is wrong with this thing.

I hpe you get a good 6.0. ALot of lemons out there. Sold a spreader to a guy that has an 04 F 450 x cab with dump. So far he has had coolant clamps break 2x causing loss of coolant and an overheat situation. Truck just got back from having new head gaskets installed due to the overheating. He also has had the rear main seal replaced du to leaking there. He isnt exactly thriled with his 43000.00 $ truck.
Only benifit is he as warranty, and ford id illing to buy the truck back in th spring.

Howard do you have a build date on the engine or just for the truck?

Asked a thedieselstop.com with no good answers...
No I don't have a build date for a 6.0... still looking. I have to get my Excursion started to trade it in:headwall :headwall :headwall
I wanted a regular xl f350 8' bed. Wife wants a supercab, told her you can't get a long bed supercab 6.0 with plow prep. BUT you can get it with a f450:D
Found an f450 xlt supercab 167" wheelbase that I would just put a steel flatbed on (one that I could back into things with;) )
No dealer is willing to take the truck without it running though. Putting on a friends 14k gooseneck here in a little bit.
