im back and cheesing!!!
i just done some wheeling and dealing and picked up a 2000 cc f250 4x4 with 234k. she needs a little loving but isnt too bad. he said it needs glow plugs.it romps for a minute or so. i know it has a vac leak because the a/c is blowing from the defrost. the shifter has some slack and the od button is gone. shes no show truck but i am happy.

i missed my old truck so much. when i jumped in this one and started her up i was sold.
i traded my go kart (04 frontier)for it.
ive been outside chasing this vac system since i got home. i think the vac pump is bad. i havent heard it come on yet

Truck would not start this morning. It was 59 so not cold. Guess I will be checking glow plugs real soon. It sucks having to bum a ride to work
