Looking to buy first PSD. I'm Looking for '99-'00 and finding them but with issues, one is late '99 F350 CC, L bed, bad mis untill warmed up and ABS light on, with rebuilt trans, 265,000 mi for $9500. I tried going back 40+ pages but couldn't find causes and possible fixes to tell if this was a good deal. Thanks for any input.

Could be something as easy as a speed sensor all the way to a control module. there should be a code stored if you can get it to someone with a PSD scanner

 

I take it that this is about the ABS light?

 

I have access to a scanner, autoxray ez-scan 6000 that said it supports multiple trouble code requests, generic (mode 3) pending codes (mode 7) enhance codes (mode 13). Not sure if it will do the PSD.

 

Probably not. If I were you I would try to find something working in good order. The money you save trying to buy and fix may not pay off in the end. Someone is selling that for a reason as opposed to fixing it and then selling it. Just my 0.02. But if you want to try and troubleshoot and repair, you're in the right place. Just don't want to see you buy something you end up hating.

 

Thanks. Being that I'll be new to PSD, I should learn from a good working one first instead to learn just to get it right.

 

You are in the right place!!! Take your time and read through as many of these threads as you can. This is one of the very best places to learn about issues and what to look for.

I spent a long 10 months or so watching prices, looking at internet ads, test driving, reading forums and settled on exactly what we wanted. Once we knew that, the hunt was on and we found exactly what we wanted and needed and at what I feel was a good price. There will be some good ones that will get away, but hold tough to what you really need and want at the right price and the right one will show up.

Oh...and the Carfax or Autocheck vehicle history records are worth getting!!! You get a good general history of the vehicle and I highly recommend them. I wouldn't buy a used car/truck without checking history records first.

Good luck!!! We'll be waiting to see what you find.

 

Good trucks are out there. Save your time/money for mods, that's the fun stuff. Keep looking. No fun fixing something that you have no idea how it should run.
