My oldest brother has an 2004 F-250 with the dreaded 6.0 in it. He was so happy with it for the first 8300 miles. Now he is no longer happy, as he is finding out how bad they are. To bad for him and so many others that believed in Ford, and got took.
Since its a 99, it would be the 7.3 PSD. 6.0 didn't come out until 03.

Its a 99 with a 6.0 in it but i dont know there year. There is a big post up on the dieselstop abou it and a video doin burn outs. They didnt even take it to a track last i herd and they are claiming times. My buddy has an 06 with SCT Custom tunes exhuast and intake and hes running 14.5s and his trucks in the garage every other week cuase its leakin coolant. He owns the dealership and still cant fix it right.

It started out as a Gas powered turck and then they droped in a 6.0. I think it would have been cheaper if they had bought a 05 xl f-250 reg. long bed then they wouldn't have to have done so much work and it wouldn't have cost as much.
I think it would have been nice if they started with an old 60's model Ford and droped a Cummins in it. That is what I am hoping to do in the next couple years with my dad's 66 Ford crewcab when i can find an engine and the funds will allow.

From their website, it appears that this truck was the first truck and possibly the only truck built by http://www.earnhartbuilt.com/index.htm It looks like the website is owned by 2 brothers, and they worked on this truck together. It does say on the site somewhere that it does have the 6.0no in it.

Try to get a loan for 59K on a 99 anything, and if you take it out of the bank for that your an idiot.

I saw the truck this evening at Diesel Innovations. Rolled on the dyno to a tune of about 500hp if I remember correctly. And it's a 6.0

as worthless as it is, it is one badaxx looking truck!!!!! should have at least went with a 7.3L, then you could maybe drive it around stock for a few thousand miles before it took a crap!!!! LOL I really do like the looks of it though, like I said it's about worthless to me, but it is sharp!!!! Dusty
