Yea, it says "B5" so I guess its a 4.10 Limited Slip....thats gonna be a gas hog for sure!
What do you think about the price?

 

Well the price... hmm.. $18,000 to me to pay for a 2 year old truck with 36,000 is a bit much.... Considering up here in the Northeast.. you can get 2007 F-150 XLTs equally equipped like mine.. for $21,000 NEW and you get the 5 years or 60,000 miles warranty... Granted the truck you are looking at does have the 8 foot bed... but do you need that extra 1.5 feet? Also is this truck at a Ford Stealership? With todays gas prices.. I'd offer them $15,000 and tell them to Like it!

 

I guess I didn't mention that it was listed on Ebay and I just contacted the seller and through talking to him for over a week he said (over the phone before I've even seen it) I could get it for $16,500... its at a small used car dealership in NJ..
Yes I do need the 8ft bed and its still got 2yrs of the warranty left... It is really clean and has some nice options that I probably could do without if they weren't included...
I was thinkin after looking at it I might be able to offer $15000-$15500 out the door. I can always get special employee/dealer price on new Ford's b/c of my grandfather that worked for them for 35yrs but Trucks depreciate so much and I think a good slightly used is one for me. Thanks for all your help/input.

 

I got an '06 F-150 XLT 4x4 SuperCab with the 5.4L motor, tow package and tow hooks on the front end. The only recalls I had to deal with was the gauge cluster recalibration and the brake booster recall, which were both covered under the factory warranty. I paid $16,900 for mine and it only had 19K miles on the odometer when I bought it. My truck has plenty of power. It runs like a late 60's muscle car and handles great. I average around 18 MPG on the highway and around 15 MPG in the city, which is not too bad, but these $4.00 per gallon gas prices are starting to take their toll on my wallet.

 

Thanks for the info Warbird Mechanic!!

Addressing your screenname....is it true? what kind of warbirds?
I am a senior at the U.S. Naval Academy and lookin to go into USMC jets when commissioned...I love flying and old planes...P-51D Mustang is definately the dream owner some day!

 

What is the Gauge Cluster recalibration?? I know of the Brake-booster recall...

Thanks!

 

I'm glad I'm not the only one.

 

x3 for me also

 

tylus> I thought you would have known, and told us for sure.

 

yall are a buncha highjackers


On the 06's what can and cant u do as far as accessories. I want to eventually put 33's under it. And some mickey thompson rims. I was told i'd have to get it recalibrated. And that the wheels have psi sensors on them. Plus where can i get a spare key? I just want to unlock the doors with it.

 

and another thing. If i want to put a keyless entry/ alarm on it. The little red light flashes all the time. Can i get a remote off ebay and program it myself or do i have to go to ford?

 

not a clue about this one. My Dodge had a recall for something like this...but not the F-150
My stuff would be the bolded parts


oh yeah, to answer your very last post:

you can buy the remotes off of eBay...bought 2 for my Mustang and they worked great for $15.00

but you need the module that will let it work...I don't know if it's already installed or not. Do you have electric locks? I suggest you buy some and see if they work after running through the programming cycle. They are fairly cheap

the programming of a remote is just a series of key positions, and remote button pushing...and you need all the remotes together at once. No need to see the dealer unless you don't have 2 transponder keys already

 

Yes i have power door locks, power windows. I got 2 regular keys made yesturday so i can atleast get in my truck. LOL They wont start it but i can unlock the doors. And speaking of the 33's, do i need a leveling kit for the front or put will they fit under the front?

 

The Gauge recalibration is really nothing more than the dealership downloading a program into the powertrain control module basically. Apparently some trucks left Ford's now closed Virginia Factory with the gauges uncalibrated. Only took the techs about 15 to 20 minutes to fix this problem. Its an easy fix.

Yes, I have worked on some warbirds, including restoring the oleo struts for the main landing gear for the Boeing B-17F bomber "Memphis Belle," which is currently undergoing restoration back to flying condition at the National Museum of the USAF in Dayton. Matter of fact, my dad flew the Memphis Belle as an instructor pilot when it was assigned to the Training Command at MacDill Field in Tampa, Florida in late 1944 where he taught B-17 pilot and co-pilot training in it. Other warbirds that I have helped to restore for the National Museum of the USAF include; a Kawanishi N1K-2 "Shiden Kai" George 21 Japanese WWII fighter, a Bristol Beaufighter, and a North American RF-86F "Haymaker" recon fighter. I have not really worked much on any Navy warbirds except an old SBD Dauntless dive bomber that I helped to wrap up for shipment to another museum, although I am currently in the process of restoring an old Army T-42 Baron twin engine bird back to airworthy condition, which will actually fly again.

 

bold stuff again
