figured id ask if this was a good price

http://athensohio.craigslist.org/cto/3916074368.html it looks good but a 6.9? last year for idi 7.3 right?

7.3 would have been stock, but this thing is clearly anything but that. Means he built the engine, then swapped it.

Lots of toys on it, but that would make me leery, personally. Also, the line about being 'saved from the scrapyard' probably means heavy collision damage at some point in its life.

Most scrapyards around here immediately crush heavily damaged vehicles. If it's in the yard, it's likely straight. Maybe it's a regional thing?

iunno 7500 way to over priced and it has 7.3 on the windshield ?*** oh well well around here they like to hold on to anything even if its been damged to the point the bed and engine are still good just waiting to pull it for a customer oh well i figured id give it a go on here see what yall thought

The claims on the DPS parts and how much more horsepower they add make me laugh. Just sayin.

 

[jwalterus]

things I'd want to see before considering buying it:
1) dyno test sheets
2) a realistic price

I've seen that engine before, I think on FTE. Lol
May email and ask if he's a member+build thread.

If he has receipts for the parts that went in and on the engine and if the truck is nice and clean the price doesn't seem bad to me. You can get 2-3K in an engine rebuild real quick. Around here a 92-94 unmodded diesel can bring 3-4000 if it's clean. So with all the mods that adds to the value. I do agree DPS parts are suspect and in my mind will need replaced sooner than later. If they work now leave them, but plan on swapping them out.

So did you look further into it?

DPS pump 90 cc compared to stock 40.. turbo cal pump is 90 CC *****...DPS stage 1 dribble sticks Uh...ya smile and wave boys...smile and wave...goodbye!

Over priced and filled with superfluous DPS craptastic parts and well...I just doubt the whole thing...sounds like Larry the leisure suite used car salesman pitch!

My question is with all that work and money and time invested, why is he selling it? Well unless he needs to pay off all the debt he racked up building it. If I put that effort into a truck like that (and it is actually what he claims) I would just drive it and start another project.
