This will make 6 diesels at the house
94 F350 C-n-C 4x4 5spd PSD 135k w Westen unimount 8.5 plow Utility body, Lift gate, 6 newer tires and batterires.
I think I am just going to keep the plow(not even mounted) and sell the truck
Would the mods please move to the 94-97 PSD

I ran across a deal a while back on a '97 cab-n-chassis 4x4 5spd. with 125k on it. It had a hay bed on it, but it had been removed cause it cracked the frame at the front rear spring hangers on both sides. I could have got it for $2500, but didn't have the cash at the time.

I think I've got one that will beat that though
1996 f350 e4od (was rebuilt but not done right, starting to have issues with it now) cclb, 4x4, 7.3, ls rear, overall pretty solid truck, needs some stupid stuff here and there, got it from my neighbor with 236,xxx for the best price there is-FREE!

Not at all. When my neighbor first got it he did a bit of front end work to it and had some other stuff done to it and had the trans rebuilt 3 yrs ago after having it take a dump on him. Well now ( not sure if you saw my other thread about what I think is the foward pump going out in it or the thread before that when I broke the detent spring and found a nut from a selonoid pack in the pan that was never tightened in) I'm starting to have issues of it rolling freely in neutral when in gear and a long shift between 1-2 that has been on and off, overall it's a great truck for the price I (didn't) pay!

I saw your other thread, but I'm no help when it comes to the E4ODs. I'm a ZF guy. If I got a good deal on a truck with an auto trans, I would swap it to a ZF 5spd. first chance I got! LOL! Have you considered doing this, or would you rather stay with the auto?

I have ( my dads 95 being a 5spd and I really like it better that the auto) however I don't really have the funds or time to do that right now (as much as I would like to convert it, I have a 555b ford backhoe that needs a piston, and a head to mess with now) and I'm going to have a family friend check out my e4od and go from there with that. And make a decision. I don't mind the auto, I'd just prefer the manual but the way things are its looking like the truck is going to stay an auto

I hear you on the backhoe. My son-in-law and I just rebuilt the 201 diesel i his 4550 Ford backhoe. If your auto ends up needing a complete rebuild again, a ZF swap would probably be cheaper.

Your probably right. I'd just have to find a decent zf 5 around here. As for the backhoe, it was a different neighbors machine that they were using in The winter and it had a loud bang from the motor , they didn't know what it was so they asked me to pull the motor apart and go from there. Well turns out it dropped a valve. And my dad ( I can't blame him for this bc I would have done the same) bought the thing for the price of scrap bc it would be a useful machine on the farm, now we (I) have to do some work to it
