For 1500 I would probably just buy it on the spot depending on what it looked like, but thats just me I already have my daily driver PS. Might be able to get it running for really cheap, or at least have a cheap project to build at your convience

so the only problem mechanically is it wont start right? might be something as simple as a cps (cam position sensor) $25 part from international. and im withe the rest of the guys here i would probably buy it hope its something simple. a lot of little things on these trucks wont make them start. mostly sensors and a few fuses. i bought my truck for 3k wouuldnt start for hell, had really bad breakes front and back, every filter was jet black and so were the fluids. but about 2k or less in service and mods later she was running like a champ. wel worth every penny.

so ideally what is the cause of each of your problems and if i can get her started imma drive her home. I figured i'd take a can of ether just in case i know to disable the glow plugs i've had a couple diesels but the last one was a gutless 6.2... I know a few basics but from my understanding they are a lil bit more involved than a gasser.

More then likely if this was on Craigslist for 1500.00 its sold withen a couple hours for that price, I bought a 2000 f-550 7.3 for 2000.00 on CL a couple weeks ago the guy posted it at 8 at night i saw it almost right after he posted it emailed him and got his address and met him there at 8 in morning. I was the first to see it and bought it. But over the course of the night he got over 35 emails and 2 other people were on there way to look at it that he had to call and tell them that it was sold, They were none to happy. No 4x4 powerstoke is gonna stay around for 1500, unless it was rolled down a mountain and caught on fire.
