One screw in the sunglass holder and pull down on the windshield side of the console first, then it just is held by a clip at the back. Easy...

Just bought my 108K 2000 7.3 Limited for $18K and had to drop another $4K to replace tires, drive train, shocks, and something that cost about $500 (dont remember the part) on the front end and still consider it a steal. You figure the truck which had a $48K sticker on it if bought new today would easily go for $60K.
I believe its a 2000 year model truck with the 04 front conversion. I like the looks of the 04 & 05 front end.

Well I found one. 2002 4x4 limited 7.3 86k on the clock. He said it developed a miss I. The past week and threw a code about an bad injector drive. So he is taking it to a diesel mechanic to get it fixed. Any ideas what this is and is this a common problem.

He is a little crazy asking 23k. I told him that his asking price was 5k over blue book. We still got negotiating to do. He is a clean freak and when something ain't right he wants to fix it now. He is getting it repaired no matter what it costs.

That's a bit pricey but pretty low miles, I'm sure he will get it if he waits it out. Not sure I would pay that though.

Does he keep all the paperwork from his maintenance?

I am goin to pick this thing apart when I go look at it. I have been looking for about 2 -3 months and they are normally from 150k to over 200k. I am goin to get some more pics from him and hopefully make a run down to where he is at next weekend and come home with a 7.3 for mama.
