I have a couple of questions about this truck i am about to buy.... i want to know what are your opinions on the spec of this rig? I have driven it on daily driver setting and at 40mph light traffic, didnt want to scare the guy selling it to me.
So heres my question- How powerful will it be and will the transmission handle it? is $17000 a fair price? also, is a non wastegated turbo something to worry about?
heres the Ad

All the fluids were just changed, both diffs, transfer case, trans ETC. The oil is changed between 3000-5000 miles . The truck is 12 years old and has some dings and scratches but they aren't that noticeable. I use the truck occasionally to pull my 30ft 5th, the trailer weighs just under 12k and the truck tugs it around just fine.

The truck gets tons of attention and looks every time I drive it.

Give me call with any questions


it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests

 

Nice lookin truck!! But at my age if it ain't got a ladder to get in I would surely pull a groin gettin in!!!

You couldn't buy a truck and do those mods for that price. Just depends on if you think the mods are done right and is not abused.

 

Its a 370-420 hp truck...

Turbo is a fine drop in, stocker with a 1.15 housing on it.

17k is high, but with the low miles if the interior is nice I would do it.

I would expect to get about 12-14k for mine if I were to sell it.

 

To be honest with you that is a lot of truck for the money if you look at everything that this guy has put into it. I dont see a listing of what gears it has in it or any trans. mods.
Yes the trans will handle it but for how long who knows..... If its a bone stock trans be expecting to step it up down the road soon, if you can live with that get it. I have 115K on my truck with the mods in my signature and my trans just went out 2 days ago. Non WG turbo isnt a problem at all, its the same turbo that came off of a 7.3L but a Van, it has a bigger 1.15 exhaust housing which helps with EGTs, the van doesnt come with an intercooler which is why that turbo is on them, its also what I have and a few other guys have too, its an upgrade.
If you can and I dont know how much you know about a diesel or a 7.3 but if you dont know anything or much about them take someone who dos know about them to go with you and go threw it

 

What do you drive now? Can you drive another stock PS to get a feel for the mods this guy has done? I am not keen on the color ( personal pref) or the lift. With the low miles i voted 16k since that is what i paid 4 yrs ago for mine with the mods in my sig but it had 155k.

 

yeah no trans upgrade thats all he said about being carefull when u drive it due to the power...was treated very kindly as far as i can tell. interior is immaculate, nav touch screen cd mp3 bs included too which is cool. im heading out tomorrow to check it out with a bud who just grad UTI in diesel mech program.

 

CPS- what do i drive now? 1980 something ford tempo, just hit 401,000 a couple days ago, still run strong! my commuter haha. i drove a ps a couple days ago as im in the market for a 250, heres the link.
'01 Ford F250 7.3 Diesel Lifted
walked alll over the road it was too much. muchh slower as well. probly a better idea to get the 2000 i was looking at as i posted.

 

CPS, what do you think it the paint a little covered up

 

White trucks FTW...

 

Be sure you know ALL the mods he has on the truck. Have him explain what they do to/for the truck. You will need to know all this if something breaks. We can help you with the repairs but we need to know what is on the truck to help you.

Your bud may not know about mods. I don't know if they teach this stuff in school.

 

about the nonwastegated turbo...does this cause a spike in backpressure when letting off the throttle at high psi? can this blow my heads?
i am wondering how to monitor my boost gauge when getting on the throttle or if i need to worry about it at all?

 

It just goes right out the exhaust and no youll be fine. Does that truck have head studs?

 

Back Pressure does not blow heads... Back pressure is 60-150psi...

Cylinder Pressures are 1000-3500 psi...

 

Is the truck from the south? What is the condition of the interior (leather/cloth). If so, I would say it is worth it. I will agree that you cannot buy a bone stock truck with that many miles on it and do those mod's for that price.
