If I had that kind of expendable money I would buy that just to destroy it.

Prakash, those are off an '08 IIRC and would need spacers, not the highly coveted '04 H-D rims that fit the Ex.

Still an excellent price......

Ah......I should have known. BTW, just curious if spacers make any difference in handling this big rig? I am assuming that I can go up to a 20" rim with properly sized tires to fit without having to lift the EX.

I had to read this up

Socratic method, also known as maieutics, method of elenchus, elenctic method, or Socratic debate, is a form of cooperative argumentative dialogue between individuals, based on asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking and to draw out ideas and underlying presumptions.

If I were closer, it would be worth checking out and putting a new front clip on it. The front looks like it might be the only thing jacked up on it.

I would run the wheels off it and the kids would love it back there!

While that can definitely help identify another way to skin the proverbial feline, as soon as I saw your words, I thought to myself, "Oh, you mean the opposite of how Brent was!"

PS - LOL, I just realized the quote in Marks sig sums it all up (Brent's user name was EXv10)

Ok...so this isnt an excursion...but its is a 7.3, im temped to drive over there just to pop the hood and see if thats the org engine or a reman. Regardless 900k is damn impressive.

The purchase price is....crazy!

Click on vin number in the ad and follow the history. It looks like at least 2 hot shot drivers owned it.

Holy Whatever......Owner 2 & 3 drove that truck from 70K to 877K between '05 - '14. That is almost 80K miles a year! That truck must've been running circles around the country ever week

Well the legendary 7.3 is supposed to be a million mile motor isn't it? Shouldn't it be "normal" for those motors to hit those kind of miles? In a couple more years it will achieve the benchmark set by the (1.3) million mile V-10 delivery van. Home


In all seriousness, yeah that is a ton of miles and it's rare to see that on ANY vehicle.
And to have those high miles and still want almost 10 grand!?
