Nope, mine had a cracked head, which amazingly is not a problem the 6.0 is known for. I just happened to get a lemon. It was supposed to have the head gasket done by somebody else before I bought it, and I suspect their shoddy work could have caused the cracked head. You gotta be able to trust the mechanic...
Also I forgot to mention my Dad has an 05 6.0 with about 120,000 miles. Totally stock and never blew anything. He drives it like an old man though.

One more thing - you gotta have a tuner on a 6.0!! The factory tunes are really bad. At some point after they first released the engine, they reflashed every truck that came back to a dealer to prevent some problems. In doing this they stole about 25 horsepower and 2mpg. Also turbo lag is really bad. Tuners make a night and day difference and easily pay for themselves in fuel mileage. Don't try to make a bunch of horsepower before you replace the head gaskets.
