Default stick with the 6.0 or not

so im considering gettin rid of my 06 6.0 (its been nothin but hell for me) and so my question is should i get the 6.4 or wait till the 6.7 is out and hear about it before i get in a new truck or is it just better to stick with the 6.0 and put some money into it to make it run right

With all the mods you already have on your 6.0 id spend the money and get it running right. Take it to a good Powerstroke shop and have them put in headstuds, delete the egr/cooler and get yourself a Custom Tuned SCT.

good call, the 6.0 isn't a bad engine when properly held together=head studs, and another thing to consider while you're at it is injectors cause i know the factory ones are not so great
