First Powerstroke

[93iditurbo]

ive been on the site for a while now but spent all my time in the idi section, today im picking up my first powerstroke its a 2000. Its got 400,000kms on it and im wondering what sort of things i should be watching out for at such high mileage? the first thing im goin to do is service the trans (auto) and change the engine oil and inspect all other fluids, what else? should i be babying this thing at such high mileage? thanks

Hope you got a deal. That is pretty high milage

Does it have the original injectors? Ya good call on doing the tans fluid and oil change. I have a fairly high mileage 95 and it has original injectors that seem to be fine. I keep the oil clean in that thing, I'd rather not have to put injectors in it. The price of them would defeat the purpose and cost savings of driving a diesel.

Easy way to convert KM to miles. Multiply KM by .6 to get miles, awful close.

400000 KM X .6 = 240000 M

i used the converter on the calculator that is on my computer.

i paid $7000 (can). I feel it was a pretty good deal, the trucks in great shape, but it needs front brakes and a rear main asap. pretty sure there original injectors

what is the canadian dollar to the us dollar?

here that truck would be about 4,000-5,000 w 250k on it.

And things to look out for are rotted doors and the cross members in the bed like to ROT BAD

 

[93iditurbo]

it would be pretty much $7000 US

Ouch. Good luck With it

sounds like a decent deal, I just paid 6 for a 95 with 240,000kms extended cab with a standard, 0 rust

 

[Thatguy]

yep, I paid $7500 for a 96 with 232,*** miles.....

the canadian dollar is worth just a tad bit more than the us. i just checked the conversion rateswhile checking on a moose hunt. someone wants 25k for a guided moose hunt

Keep a spare crank sensor in the glovebox.

I dont know if its just me but trucks/any vehicle up here, in BC atleast usually go for a lot more than in places down south like texas.....this is why i plan to buy my next rig from the south
