Not sure what kind of money these are worth..
But if it was single wheel , I'd be all over it

Thats one of them PBPSD...PepBoys PowerStroke diesel..😀

 

That's $14,500ish US if that's $19,000 Canadian. That is a steal.

 

I'd be checking the carfax for sure. It could have a tampered with or swapped odometer. I got burned by that on my first 7.3.

also, if it was a fleet vehicle, it could have a massive amount of engine hours. There's a 7.3 for sale where I live with 50k miles. It was an airport truck that most likely has 10k+ engine hours.

 

Love those Lariat LE's
With a ZF 6spd would be perfect!

...and I agree on the tacky chrome add-ons.
Put that back to stock.

 

That's about 37,000 miles. Here's a Canadian 2002 F-450 dually (7.3litre) that I saw listed for around USD 29,400 with about 70,000 miles.

Good grief that is tacky and WAY overpriced. Low mileage is not always a good thing on these motors....been there, done that.

 

At the risk of offending my fellow countrypeeps from Quebec (QC), historically one needed to exercise extreme caution when buying a vehicle from that province. I don't know if they've cleaned up their act but in the past, altered odometers were the norm. As I understand things back then, there was no law preventing this from happening. I think with the newer digital odometers etc., much of the "rolbacking" has been eliminated but if it were me, I'd be highly vigilant when looking at a used QC vehicle.

For the record, our current 2nd vehicle came from QC as I could not find one equipped the way I wanted anywhere else in Canada at the right price. I did run the Canadian CarProof report (like CarFax), I talked to the dealer who sold & serviced the vehicle and I traced down and talked with the previous owner too. All checked out and the vehicle has been trouble free for us for 3 years.

 

I'm not sure how low mileage is NOT a good thing on these motors ?
Please fill us in ?

Good ideas..
But with a vehicle from these part of the country..
There are easier ways to tell mileage..
Crawl under the vehicle and you'll know quick time !

20k for a 20 year old vehicle................ no thanks

 

In short, the 7.3 likes to work and work hard, not sit. Lots of condensation and parts that should be moving just sitting still and doing nothing. JMO based on experience. I'd buy a higher rmileage well maintained truck that was worked hard over one that just sat parked with infrequent use.

 

Maybe I was lucky but when I bought my truck a few years ago it was possibly the lowest mileage 7.3 in the world, 19k KM's with provenance to back it up. It was over 1000 miles from home & I had a couple of friends fly out & drive it back, everything was original including the tires with a '99 date code. It ran a little rough to begin with but by the time the guys got it home a couple of tank fulls of fresh fuel had smoothed out the running .
A good service with new fluids & filters & it runs like a Swiss watch, a very noisy Swiss watch! I've only had to do normal maintenance & put new tires all round eventually (It's done around 70k KM's now), as I said maybe I was lucky, maybe the fact that it had been in dry storage for nearly 6 years in southern Spain helped but low mileage isn't always a bad thing.

 

I would say that you were lucky those tires did not pop at that age. But who am I to talk. My old green truck still has the tires I put on it in 1982, but it has not been driven in over 20 years.
