My brother totaled his '95 F250 w/ a 460 and just replaced it with a '97 F250 HD w/ another 460 and E4OD. Was there anything spasmodic about this model year he should be looking out for? It only has 60K miles on it, but the guy used it for towing a 5'er. I told him he should get the tranny inspected/serviced first thing to see what he has. He says it runs great and has the original Fireblown tires on it (ouch). Anything else to look out for

 

Possible exhaust manifold problems,leaks and such.
The transmission is of course the weakest component.Keep it serviced regularly.

Good solid overall truck.

 

My friend might sell me his 97 250 hd with 60k, and the only thing he has had to do was ball joints.

 

Check the camber on it. Mine was awful til Friday, when I had cam sleeves put in, now it rides and drives like a new truck.

Overall, that's a good truck, just make sure he has a good amount of gas money ready.

 

Thanks for the feedback guys.
