Lucky me .................

I just purchased a 02 F-350 Lariat Supercab PSD a month or so ago.
Today I met up with the former owner, when I asked him why he sold it his answer was "its a lemon"!
I guess he had to get it towed 1/2 dozen times.
3 alternators went.
Oil pump went twice so now Im worried what happend to the engine while the pump wasnt working right?
Water pumpneeded replacing..........same thing I wonder how hot it got?
So needless to say it didnt make my day very good , until I looked at the positive side ...............maybe hes got all the kinks fixed!

Hmmm...that sucks. Hopefully he did get all the kinks worked out and it will be a great vehicle. Just pretend he never told you that. Ya, I know. It will be hard.

Get an OASIS report from your local Ford dealer and see what it lists. Best to check before you buy..... now you 'll know the rest of the story..

that seems very strange that all those things would go many times like that. i think you have something causing that to happen but i dont know what it would be. maybe try posting in the diesel forum and ask about it. how many miles are on the truck?
