PSD engine for $1700. What do you think?

Found out about an engine out of a wrecked 2000 powerstroke with 100k on it. Says it's complete and already out of the truck. $1700 sounds pretty good to me, is it?

Sounds like a good deal providing it has all parts. Which pcm is it manual or auto.

Sounds too good to be true. The risk there is you may be getting $1700 worth of engine. It could be dusted, blown or any of a number of other problems for that money. Be thorough inspecting it.
