You're sticking with Ford?
2003 and 2004 were the nadir for Ford diesel reliability with the 6.0L. Lots of issues.
2005 through 2007 was better, but still not as reliable as a same-year Duramax or Cummins.
2005 marked several changes to the Super Duties in addition to the motor
2008 was the "new" body (really just the front clip and dash) and the new 6.4L motor that had re-gen DPFE
All two wheel drives still use the antiquated twin I-beam front suspension like your 1992
In my opinion......
Strongly consider a 2006 or classic-2007 (VIN "D") Duramax Chev/GMC with the 6 speed Allison
Consider the new-body 2007-up if you are going fancy with leather (different dash)
Or the pre-2008 Cummins
I've owned all three, and still own (partnership) a 2007 GMC Classic (old-body) Duramax
There's a reason we've kept it when we'd normally have cycled through a couple more by now
Strong engine, great transmission, good fuel economy compared to newer ones
