I didn't mean all Fords. I usually buy my trucks new, and have had good luck with the Ford Diesel trucks. But this truck, which I bought with 213,000 miles on it is a POS. But hey it is a 1997, so what should I expect. I just don't have the money now to rebuild it. So before it quits, I will try and trade it off. And make payments on a new one.

I figured something like that. Its an extended cab 2 wd, with the XLT package.The body seems pretty strait, except for the rear of the bed on the passenger side. Has some damage from a blowout. The interior is ok, as it was a farm truck before I got it. I wonder what a 97 Ext Cab with a bad trans would be worth on a trade in.
