Personally, I believe a lot of it is brought on by things not the engines fault. They are extremely sensitive to fuel quality. Areas that have 6.0 issues a'plenty are also prone to poor fuel.
I always preach fuel additives. Cetane boosters are best. Most (if not all) of the problems with a 6.0 can be traced to fuel. Injectors, egr valves, turbos, and head gaskets directly or indirectly touch fuel. A 6.0 that is a repeat for injector failure should have the fuel pressure tested. Poor fuel wont burn properly. Poor burning promotes soot buildup (egr valves, turbos coking with vgt vanes sticking). A turbo with the vanes stuck in "full boost" will be more likely to have the "turbo fart". Full boost will also shorten head gasket life.
Close. Notice that the second display is slightly different? That display also lets me shut off one injector at a time. The ficm has a strategy that has it increase duty cycle in neighboring injectors to compensate for the misfire (the first display, look at the neighboring cylinders). The second display also disables this strategy for a more accurate look.

The way I understand (or interpret) it, is that the "0" is the "starting"point. Above or below it is contribution (or lack thereof).
The 7.3s are just as high or higher.
Most generally, they are. They have their own oddities. Like valve cover gaskets that have pass through wiring (that are a source of headaches).
Couldn't say for sure, but they have less working parts than the other two.
