08 6.4

I have the opportunity to buy a 08 6.4 for a good price.. 5000.00. The bad is that it has high miles and needs work, like leak at the turbo and egr. The local ford shop told me about 5,000 to fix it. Is it worth it or do you recommend I keep looking

Don't triple post. Anyway, it you have a trusted mechanic, have them take a look at it. 5 K could be more.

If the rig is in nice shape, I'd be on it like a hobo on a hotdog and learn from this site how to repair it yourself.

If you can buckle a belt, you can spin a wrench with the right tutoring.

Stay here and keep us advised.

Denny (you are talking an 08 diesel correct?) 5 grand???

I won't commet either. Lol...sorry Fritz had to.



Good luck on that one. A 2008 for 5k is kinda scary. You just have to hope that no major damage has already occurred.
