Glad he put it in terms I could understand

Well OK then....... The next time I spend $650 without knowing what I'm getting will be the first time!

LoL@ advertising a suspension upgrade and listing the cost bit not knowing what was actually done.

Regardless it looks like a nice v-10 if you could get it for the right price since it doesn't look to have sold at his " new lowered price"

Well the deed is done. I purchased X #3. Had the sales guy crawling all under the car, getting receipts and I even got a video. I'll pick it up in about 10 days

















Hope its supposed to sound that way. It's my first diesel

First year of production. Believed to have had the most problems.
The 6ohno was indtroduced mid year. My buddy bought his ex new and they had both the 7.3and 6ohno on the lot, he actually paid more for the 6. He still owns it

Since yours was built on 10/11/03 it may have the 2003 engine. I cant remember the exact cut off day...but it was around oct or nov of 03 when the 04 engines were installed. The 03 engines had their own demons and some teething to get through hence the changes to the 04 engines.
