dealer pricey .... if it is something you can tackle when the need arises no biggie. dealer ive heard is around a grand. nothing on these trucks is fixed by the dealer cheaply. i fix all my own stuff.


you definitely want a powerstroke if you can. the have a lot more power than an idi.


for example i have a 97 f350 cc 5 sp with 4.10 rear end and 33" tires and i get 14 mpg 95% of the time.


chances are if you need help one of us has had your problem in the past and we can usually diagnose it right here saving you big $$$$. dont be afraid of the 5th wheel hitch. but make sure he did his maintenace. i assume you are buying directly from the previous owner. so ask him if it has been changed. also why is he selling his pride and joy??????
