Does the $2500 price include new heads?
Why? Heads are not the problem but the bolts holding them down can be if you chip it and run the shi*e out of it - they can stretch. 170k miles on mine and zero issues with the heads.
They love NEW batteries and the bigger the better :) Just installed my 3rd set a few weeks ago, perks the truck right up.
The biggest problem with the truck the OP is buying is he knows nothing about it. If it has an OE EGR cooler,oil cooler,HPOP and SCT fitting. You are not going to change that stuff for $2500. The complete head gasket set from Ford with all the other gaskets needed is $750 alone. Oil cooler? $500.EGR cooler? The problem is he is looking at the unknown. This truck has a lot of miles on it. If it doesn't have a coolant filter installed you don't know the damage that could or has occurred.
Unless you do all the work yourself labor around here is $110 per hour. Most shops remove the cab to do the head gaskets.
