Not much more to say, I like to work on my own vehicles because everyone else seems to screw them up when they're either in a hurry or think they're creating some more work for themselves. I've primarily owned Fords my whole life, I started with a cheby C10 and that cured me quick. I've had a Jeep Cherokee for the past 70,000 mi and now I need a truck.
I flew out to Florida with about 2 weeks of research printouts and purchased this F250 PSD with 62k mi, got a great deal on it, probably break even once I sell my Jeep . Drove it all the way back to Cali without a single problem.

That's a nice, low mileage 7.3 - those aren't too easy to find.

I had to move my girlfriend's parents out here to Cali. Yeah, I lucked out on this one... Mechanical odometer on it so I was worried about a turn-back or swap-out but the OBDII just confirmed the milage. I'm really happy with the truck but I have to play catch-up on the maintainance that the previous owners neglected... Just put 4 hours into cleaning up the corrosion on my battery system... Looks nice now
