So I bought this and...

[zukgod1]

Actually test driving over weekend. It's almost perfect except for, the EGR has been removed without a tuner so it's running on maybe 1/3 power.
Dpf is SO plugged it died on the freeway. Won't even idle.
Had to have someone bring me some tools do I could unhook the dp and her moving again.

Now I've got a decision to make. Find a egr and cooler so it will pass the visual then find a tuner to turn it all of and install an exhaust system so the poor thing can breath.

Oh yah, it puked antifreeze on the way back to the shop as well. Didn't notice until I stopped and saw a few drips.

Off to a great start with this one.

That's part of the hold up Forest.
$24k
Which isn't too bad.
117k miles
Has a few cosmetic issues I need to deal with but the truth is, I could sleep in this thing and be happy.

$24,000? US dollars? And it is puking coolant and running under derated power?

 

[zukgod1]

In it's defense, it wasn't puking till I pushed in the way back after unhooking the exhaust.
I was a tad irritated so yah.

Just gives you ammo to offer a lower amount.

I messaged him privately with some good bargaining chips. We'll see how it pans out

If you need EGR coolers let me know. I just deleted 2 trucks. Neither leaked.

 

[OneStar67]

I love those trucks. I think you did good. I have an H&S XRT Pro for sale. And close to SLC. That'll get you back into good running order without having to "undelete" it.

Here's how it currently looks.
Studs going in.
Anything special I should be doing while I'm here?

 

[dieselbeef]

set it on fire?

 

[ComnRailPwr]

^^ accidents do happen..

 

[Scooter's Roofing]

don't overtorque the studs! you don't want to crack the block

put a new OEM/Ford/Intl oil cooler and thermostats in it

 

[SDS97_7.3]

Check the lifters

 

[Scooter's Roofing]

good call! don't even check the lifters, just replace them

 

[zukgod1]

Ah $hit... I didn't even think about the lifters and it's back together...

I'll get the oil cooler/ t-stats taken care of Monday.
DAMN.. the lifters......

 

[SDS97_7.3]

good call! don't even check the lifters, just replace them

Even better, cheap insurance

While you're in there international pistons are cheap insurance as well lol

That's probably a tad too far.

Hell I just don't own my trucks long enough to justify pistons unless they are bad.
Like my last truck......
