It will work depending on the year of the 6.0, you need a Gen 3 6.0 with a 24x tooth reluctor wheel on the crankshaft. You'll need to swap over the intake/ Drive accessories/ water pump/ coil packs / Oil Pan and pick up but everything should drop right in.

well I'm looking at one that come out of a 2005 model truck. would that work? I was thinking there was a kit you could buy or something to change that out if it wasn't the 24 tooth count. but thank you for the response it's very generous ��

The 05 should be 24x, you can tell by the color of the crank sensor.
There are 24x to 58x converters too {Lingenfelter?)

Do a search here for black vs gray crank sensors.
