New to me 2008!
Well just thought I'd drop in and say that I did find a truck! 2008 F-350 XLT 6.4L CCSB with 50,000 miles on the dot! Got it from a Chevy dealership for $29,500. Truck is very clean but it has had a bed side replaced (I'm guessing a camper accident) and also front end components replaced due to an accident. The truck has all leather interior, an 80 gallon ATTA fuel tank with freedom fill and a Reese 18K 5th wheel hitch.
I haven't gotten to take a lot of pictures yet because I don't get to pick it up till Thursday but I sure am excited! Only issues I found were: leaking antifreeze from lower radiator hose, it has the updated hose and was just done so possibly overflow? And it has a shudder when you let off the throttle at speeds from 55mph up. I have researched this extensively and most people have a very hard time finding this problem, first thing I am going to try is dropping the carrier bearing and inch or so to change the angle. After that I will be lost. Also one of my problems I seen was that the truck had 15w-40 oil in it so that will be changed asap with Motorcraft filters and oil, other than those things this truck is sweet! Even has a rear entertainment system!

I did make the dealer fix the leak, they gave me the "1000 & 30day" guarantee with it too. On another note does anyone know about the Ford ESP plans?

I really like that hood! That does not look stock. Do you know where it came from? Is the Aux tank in the bed or underneath the truck? Another observation is it appears to have a 2009-2010 air dam. Also what size are those wheels? They appear to be 17". Is the truck 4WD? It appears to have been leveled. If so the carrier drop might fix your shudder. I leveled mine 2.5 front and 4 in back and had a slight shudder on takeoff. A 1" carrier spacer fixed it. Nice truck!

Alright guys I am begging for some help, I cannot find the source of this shudder, I just took it to the stealership and asked them and they told me I had to have my tires balanced, so I had them balanced and still it shakes any speed above 70! And whenever I let off the throttle at 45mph up. That rear drive shaft appears to be straight as an arrow. So whats the deal here? Thanks guys
