If you have limited funds (ie can't afford several major repairs), then I would pass on it. Very often those stolen trucks are abused.

Check with your local dealer first. I don't know for sure, but I think at some point I read someone say that the dealer could or may deny warranty on a salvaged titled vehicle. Check that first. If you got any problems this could be an expensive one without warranty.

Good Luck

well Guys pulled an oil sample test and had the original selling and serviceing dealer check it out and no problems other than low tread and an air line for the air ride shocks. so i bought runs like a rape'd ape love my fords and was not worried about service cost just cant see paying big big dollars to buy it I'm a cheap skate you could say and i don't plan to sell it it a keeper like my 93 Bronco love that thing just wanted something bigger to pull with and this will do the job!!!!!!
