It's been a good ride!!

After 331,000 miles, it's time to finally part with my baby. A couple weeks ago, I developed a rpm related tinking noise from the passenger side valve cover. After pulling the valve cover and checking pushrods, rocker arms, etc. I highly suspect emminent failure of my #5 lifter. She still runs great, so I don't suspect the rollers let go yet. Unfortunately, I don't have the time or energy to fix this properly(and I really want a 17'), but am posting this here in case anyone here is looking for a project before I try trading it in.

She's an 07 f250 lariat CC FX4. 331K miles, 7752 hours. For now, she's running great but sitting to avoid any further damage. Blue with tan lower and tan leather interior. Driver's seat needs a new cover. Fresh Bilstein shocks, new front bearings, seals, and joints. Flip over gooseneck ball, 4"MBRP exhaust, cat delete(cat will come w the truck), GOGO diesel EGR delete, head studs, blue spring upgrade, upgraded turbo lines, STC fitting, dummy plugs, tool box, bed liner, SCT X3 tuner, CTS monitor, EGT probe installed, BPD external oil cooler kit, Rotella T6 every 5K. Will throw in 8 injector cores, extra FICM, extra fuel pump, dieselsite coolant filtration kit, and any other spare parts I have. PM me for any more details.

Thanks to all who've helped on this forum. Surely couldn't have gotten this far without you!!

Its a shame your letting it go good luck with that 17' they sure are nice looking trucks but I would if going new buy that Diesel 18' F150 dropping soon!

Hope someone gets your truck and fixes it up. Dealer will just toss it to the side on a trade in and sell it to some auction.
