considering a '99
I am considering a '99 F250 4x4 with the v10. It has 77k miles on it. I haven't had any experience with this type of beast and am curious if this truck sends up any immediate red flags with you folks. Also, is there anything in particular that I should look for with this truck?
Thanks!

I have a '99 F-250 SuperCab 4x4 V-10 5SP. It has just over 80,000 miles and is running very strong. I would have no hesitation buying another 99 V-10 with the same miles, for the right price. If the truck has been well cared for, then the engine probably has too. If the truck has been ragged out, then ...
The big difference between the 99 V-10 and the 00 & up V-10 is the power output. The 99 V-10 is rated at 275 bhp and 410 lb-ft of torque. The 00 & up is rated at 310 bhp and 425 lb-ft of torque (I think I have these numbers right. If not, someone will surely correct me).
Best regards,
Jeff

I believe the only difference is the computer program, but I may be wrong. I don't know about the new ones, but the stock exhaust pipes from the manifords are the most retarded setup I have ever seen. The manifolds aren't worth a dime either. I welded them together and made a boat anchor.
