Im dealing on a dually , its a 99 with only 50,000 kms/30,000 miles on it.

Its not what i really wanted to buy but the mileage convinced me.

My truck has 325,000 kms on it and is needing work on a few things so I thought Id use this dually while im fixing mine back up.

Are 99's the same as 02's?
Same engine parts etc?
Will my Edge chip work in the 99?

Ill post pictures if i get it bought ,Ill know Monday if the deal went through.

 

99 was the first year for this body style, there are some differences in early 99 and late 99. The late 99 after Feb 1999 has a larger turbo and seals in the engine.I have a 1999 F350 later model, it has been a really good truck with 180000 miles on it now. I beleive the 2002 has different connecting rods than the earlier 7.3's, Others will chime in and probably tell you a lot lot more.

 

What kind of Edge do you have?
I have a edge Evelution in my 02 and Im hoping I can put it in my 99.

 

it should work on all 99-03 some work on 94-03.

and 30k is just getting warmed up.

 

I went and looked on Ebay and it looks like they are selling the same Egde as I have and saying it fits 94 to 03 alright.



The low miles sold me the paint job didnt..........
30K is pretty low for a 99 I would think?
Its basicly a new old truck..................

 

Look at the build date- the e99 is from IIRC 1/98-4/99. there are several differences, but on a dually just about everything except the turbo isthe same. Brakes, turbo I know for sure are different. But don't let a e99 be a deal killer, I got one and in the never ending course of mods, I swapped the turbo for a late 99 van turbo. ANother plus is that you're guaranteed to get forged rods, which they stopped using in mid 01.

 

Sounds like a real good truck. Who has this, private party or dealer? If the mileage is right you made a score early or late 99 model.

Its from a dealer but its a small town ,I know of the ex owner.
He bought it new and is a older guy that used it to tow hes 5th wheel somewheres down south in the winter.

Its got lots of ad on already added.
A big checkerplate toolbox in the front of the box then a nice looking 5th wheel hitch , then a 5th wheel set of toolboxes across the back of the box and a 5th wheel tailgate.
The box is fully checkerplated.
Stainless running boards .
Pillar guages.
A built transmission.
Lots of mudflaps and lights , to many Im going to remove some of that stuff.

I wont bring up the bad until I own it ....................

 

Another thing its got is one of those high idle things.
Its a box with some guages mounted under the dash.
What the purpose of it is i dont know.
I could see a use for it with a PTO or something but I dont know what id use it for?
Tell me if you know?

 

Yeah it's a high idle box for running a PTO, but since for the most part our trannys never came with a PTO- other than heating the engine faster and keeping the A/C cold, there's no real need for it. If you ever get a DP tuner, Jody can st you up with a high idle tune, you can sell the Ford box on ebay for about $150

 

Ken even sounds better now that you know where it came from.

OK so I bought the dually , I hope you all are ready for the pictures.......................................... ..

 

that is a one deferent paint job. but looks clean.

 

from the location of the diesel badge, i'd say its an E99. my daughter dug the paint job. She loves SHAMU.

 

Not a bad looking truck my wife truly loves the paint, but hey that is not what makes it run Congrats on the new rig and I hope it runs out good for ya.
