Nice deal!

I need to get a trunk and trailer sometime by next year

vfast · November 15th, 2008, 09:52 AM

we just can't wait*L*....get rrrrrrrrrrrrr done

MikeD05GT · November 15th, 2008, 10:06 AM

insane deal. post pics

k2boarder3187 · November 15th, 2008, 12:31 PM

nice deal.

I myself have been looking for the same thing

MustangMatt96GT · November 15th, 2008, 02:05 PM

Well.. Not mine

got there and it was in rougher shape than he described, but that is no big deal to me... its a work truck type thing... But then when it fired up, it had a valve rattle or something of that sort on the passenger side. Drove it, has plently of torque, spun the tires twice, but damn is it slow. I could care less about the slow part. The trailer had mismatched wheels, had dents in the frame.... just was not worth the 3500 bucks...

Take that 7.3 stick about 3k in it and it will get better mileage than a new truck, and have just as much power. I have done a couple IDI engines. I usually get a T444E heads, and swap on a 6.0 turbo, with a set of 5% over extrude honed T444E injectors, with a 6.0 lift pump, fuel filter assembly, add a custom chip, and you're set. You'll put down qround 300rwhp/500rwtq. That is as good as a brand new diesel for a fraction of the cost.

MikeD05GT · November 15th, 2008, 10:42 PM

you couldnt talk him down?

01Ranger · November 15th, 2008, 10:56 PM

sounds like a ncie deal. I would jump on it

fairlane_68 · November 15th, 2008, 10:56 PM

It was a good price for the truck alone. And that "slow" ain't from lack of power...lol. That's called torque baby! Wait'll you pull your first fallen tree that's as big as the truck. You'll love her forever.

I traded mine this afternoon...the "new" one's sitting in the backyard...

EDIT: oh snap...you didn't get it?

MustangMatt96GT · November 15th, 2008, 11:17 PM

i told him i will give him 1800 cash for the truck alone and no trailer and he said no deal... so i went on my way

there will be another.

a dakota is too small to tow.

SWEET2KSTANG · November 16th, 2008, 03:32 AM

i use mine to tow all the time. i have had it pretty damn loaded, i havent had an issue out of it.

futureMACH1racer · November 16th, 2008, 11:15 AM

I know where a clean 1996 F-250 super cab long box is for sale in Northern Michigan. Truck is White and silver two tone, with 190K mi. I did most of the maintenance work on it. I think he wanted like $6200, I'll call him and see if he still wants to sell it.

vfast · November 16th, 2008, 11:42 AM

190k*L*....I'm sure it's very reliable

futureMACH1racer · November 16th, 2008, 12:33 PM

Actually the T444E, have been proven to last as much as 400k. On a regular basis these trucks can go 275-300k.

06RedfireGT · November 16th, 2008, 12:41 PM

190k is nothing on a diesel.

futureMACH1racer · November 16th, 2008, 12:48 PM

It depends, on the newer engines 190k is a lot. When I say newer I mean as in 2003 and newe4. The 6.0 Powerstrokes don't last, as do the LBZ and newer Duramaxes, and Cummins, as long as stock will last somewhat decent, but all of the new emissions bs has started to take away all of the positives of a diesel engine.
