2005 F-350 CC 6.0 w/ EBY aluminum deck

I snagged a 2005 F-350 XLT crew cab 4x4 with an aluminum deck since new.

60k on ODO and doing the EGR -delete bullet proof for $14,200 today at auction. She won't be welcome in a HOA but is a sweet hauler and decked out.

    Congrats on the new purchase! I have owned a few and will suggest read up on the 6.0l (if you haven't yet) so you can avoid possible issues.

    Do the studs, factory gaskets and any and all updates that can be done. Good luck! I gave up on my piece of junk a long time ago and traded it.

    Sounds like he's up on the 6.0 issues and is doing the bulletproofing.

    Over $14,000 to "fix" a stock truck!

    Somebody must really love Ford.

    I don't think he means 14K to modify the truck. Maybe for the truck and the bullet proof mods.

    On the other hand, have you priced 2017 trucks lately! 14K is about what you lose when you drive off the lot! :)
