To make the long story short, the tow vehicle I bought last week, I had it for 3 days, starting to do some tlc to it, and noticed a nice size crack in the frame. I immediately took it back to the dealer 4 hours away and luckily they returned it giving me all money back.
My newest update.. May have found a new tow vehicle.
My wife uncles who she works for is willing to sell us his truck. Its a 2004 Ford 250 4 door 4x4 Diesel 6.0. 105,000 miles and has been garage kept since it bought it (which was almost new).This truck is drop dead gorgeous and he is willing to sell it to us cheap! This would help us financially huge as I DONT have the money to go buy a nice brand new 350 diesel or gas etc etc..
So it does have the hated 6.0 diesel.... My question is are these motors really that bad?
He has kept is all stock. He said he had one small motor issue that costed him 1,000 at the dealer and that was it...
Can I get some input on this motor..?
For the right price I told my wife we cant go wrong even with this 6.0 diesel motor. Input?
Thanks!
Run away as fast as you can unless you are willing to repower the truck!
