Bought a '91 7.3 IDI F250 SC LB 4x4 3/4 ton with an E4OD a few weeks ago. When I looked at it and drove it, it didn't seem so bad and the guy told me that there were a few problems that I saw and knew right away. It's been a few weeks and I'm begining to wonder if this was a bad buy. I paid $900 for it. Here are what I know is wrong with it. The driver's side cab corner is rusted out so bad the floor has a whole and the door won't shut right because of it and the cab sags down on that side, the front is rusted to. The motor is strong. The E4OD is not working right, it doesn't want to work very well in reverse, which is better than when I bought it, cause it didn't work. The transmission filter was laying on the pan, replaced the filter and gasket and started to work, but not all the time, and most of the time I have to give it some throttle before it will even move. The 4x4 sensor on the tranfer case is bad I'm guessing. The rear and front diff both leak. There is a full exhaust, but all straight pipe with no muffler, which makes this thing super loud it could wake the dead.
So my question is with the fact that the the diffs leak, the whole body needs replaced, the transmission is possibly bad, there is no muffler, it needs an alignment, the leveling kit on the front needs to come off, and several other things wrong with it, is this truck worth fixing it up or is it a very bad investment of $900.
I would really like to know what you guys think, cause I am torn between fixing it up and dumping loads of money I don't really have to fix it up or if I should part it out.
Also there are rebuild tags on Motor Transmission & Transfer case, but no paper work to prove it or to prove the mileage on it, and there are no service records on it at all.
