couple questions.......

I have been offered a 00 f250 2wd. He says the motor has a little over 100k. He said it has a 38r and ddp stage 1 injectors. Is this a good trade? Is there anything else that should be done to go along with those or just bolt on with stock tune? It is completly stock other than the turbo and injectors

For bigger injectors it should be tuned for them. What are you trading?

He offered it to me for my truck. I'm not sure if I'm gonna trade or not. I want a 2wd but not sure if that's the 1 I want

As far as performance its got more done to it than your truck does but IMO you should get it tuned for the mods it has. To be honest its going to come down to what you want if his is 2WD its usuall worth less than a 4WD. I would blue book them both and see what there worth and make a decision using some of that info and a lot of your own personal preferance.

Now he says the computer was reflashed. I asked before if it was programmed or anything he said no. Its all stock. He seems kind of fishy to me. The ol gut is telling me not to do it. Its been rite in the past. Better listen this time
