Howdy Big Orn, Thank you for the welcome! I'am new to this and was wondering if anyone out their could help me out? I'am thinking about buying a 1996 f350 with 180000 mile on it (Is that hi mileage?) Its a powerstroke,auto, 4x4,and bodywise seems to be in good shape. They want 10,000 for it. Good or Bad? I do know the trans. has been rebuilt Thank,s Ted

Hello Superdutymj, Thank you for your reply. The truck has a reg cab Pull wise they seem to all tell you it's pulled very light trailers. Is their really anyway you can tell differnt? I'am in western PA Pittsburgh. Is their any other good or bad points to look for? Did they make differnt size motors? Who makes the powerstroke? Thanks Ted

is there a gooseneck ball in the bed? if there is a drop-in bed liner, id check under there to look for evidence of a hitch being mounted there at some point, ie holes in the bed. as to the powerstroke engine, a company named International Heritage makes the engines. you're probably familiar with that name because they build farm implements, semi trucks, etc. The only size of deisel avail. was the 7.3 until i believe 2002-03 when the 6.0L came out. how long ago had the trans. been rebuilt?

I believe you meant to say International HARVESTER.

Based on a quick search in Kelley Blue Book, their price seems to be in line with them.
I would pay more than Private Party for a truck that old though.
Head over the www.kbb.com to get some baseline values of the truck(s) you're looking at.
