This is the ad for a truck I am looking at....Run? Or can I get a great deal on a fixer? Best advice is from owners...so please?
The Good:
Low miles for a 7.3 diesel
Has off road tires with kevlar in sidewalls with plenty of tread left
Red cloth interrior
Power windows
four wheel drive that works GREAT
New fuel pump
New injector install kit
New fuel lines on top end
Changed oil 1500 miles ago
Changed fuel filter 3000 miles ago
Two new 3 year warranty batteries bought end of year last year
Awesome exhaust that sounds amazing
Never been chipped
2 fuel tanks that both work
fifth wheel hitch mount (previous owner had installed 3+ years ago)
New thermostat and flushed the cooling system at the end of the year last year
New glow plugs put in mi year last year (3-4000 miles ago)
Towing package
HOT heat
COLD air
Engine runs SMOOTH
Transmission shifts SMOOTH
And of course the awesome 7.3 litre Turbo diesel engine
The bad:
Little rust on rocker panels
Parking brake doesn't work
Steering wheel is a little loose
Engine runs great but will randomly shut off (doesn't overheat or anything, it just turns off)
It doesn't always do this but it could only be two things that i know of (either all the fuel lines need to be changed, or the water pump is bad and the computer shuts it off)
I already bought the water pump. I just gave up on trying to install it myself. Not enough time.
I'm not sure what is wrong with it but I am positive it is nothing major because it runs so great when it doesn't die. But that is why the price is so low for an amazing truck.
