He said they were replaced along with a new radiator and water pump. It was squealing so he changed out the pump when he did the radiator.

the ac blows cold but defiantly dont freeze your butt out like new ones do,

Nice, one less thing to worry about.


Enjoy!

Body isn't beat up and the interior has normal wear just needs to be cleaned up a little bit.


Still a good work truck.

for 300K and 27 years some one took decent care of it. I am looking for some king ranch buckets to put in lol will be more than the truck

I've seen a few trucks that have been swapped for a complete King Ranch or Platinum interior but they weren't work trucks.

This is a forum that I used back when I had my 96 F250 and a 99 F350. The guys there were very helpful with any problems that I had.


YouTube videos are a big help fixing common problems also.

bah he sold it I was going to go look at it after work.

Would have been awesome for my uses

You dodged a serious bullet. The 7.3 you bought is 10x the truck that piece of shit 6.0 is.

I hate Marketplace!

I'm not sure if the 6.4 was worse or equally shitty as the 6.0

Worse in my opinion.

All 4 6.0s I ran had issues but I didn't keep them long enough to get into serious work.

Ford put 4 engines in the 6.4 I owned. All warranty thankfully. Had it 140k miles and Ford spent more money fixing it than I paid for it.

Not real picky. I just need a truck for pulling a dump trailer.

Mechanical is more important to me than body condition

I don't really care what brand it is.

Only no go is a 1/2 ton

So if you are thinking of selling or trading one in hit me up.

Or if you know of one for sale let me.know.

Thanks

My old 1969 Ford 1/2 ton would work circles around most new 3/4 tons. But they are hard to find now and way overpriced. I wish I still had mine.

I've been offered a 6.7L 4x4 club cab for $2k and I still don't want it. Drops a valve, needs a block?

Trucks with a "build date" prior to 3/11 that were a part of the valve problem on passenger side.

Good candidate for a Cummins swap

Grandparents bought a brand new F250 with a 6.4 that was great at first and ran excellent. For some reason it started to derate itself going down the road until it shut off. It also have problems with the DPF system. It wasn't worked hard either just hauling mesquite firewood on a bumper pull trailer occasionally. Grandpa finally had enough and traded it for a new Silverado dually with a Duramax that gave him zero issues.

DPF can be a headache when they decide to act up. I put a tuner in my 08 Dodge. Not for perormance as much as an easy way to monitor DPF and force a regen when it would not do so on its own.

I am going to contest that truck's ability but can appreciate your fond memories of it.

Most new 3/4 ton trucks run $50k for the base model. You can't find a '69 for less than that? If it's a better truck it would be a steal.

Nobody is running a 55 year old truck to do any serious work. There's a reason for that.
