Gaskets and Hoses
I have a 08 f250 with the 6.4L engine. It currently has approx 200k miles on it and has a few oil leaks. I have to have this truck for work and to pull our camper when we travel, so I need to to last. I know there is no way I can buy a new truck right now, but my current truck has quite a few oil leaks and I am leaking coolant somewhere as well. I have thought about taking it somewhere to have all gaskets and seals replaced, replace hoses and belts and anything else that needs done. Does anyone have any insight on a ballpark as to what the changing of belts, hoses and gaskets would cost? It seems like a lot of work, but also seems cheaper than getting a new truck.

Are the hoses the originals? If so, replace them. I have no idea what the hourly shop rate is in your area. Don't just replace gaskets to replace them. Only replace those that are leaking (if any).
