Reason for Sale: I bought an F350 Dually. I have always wanted one. I will miss this truck though. I will miss the responsiveness and control of the 6 speed. The new truck is an auto. Man it's sluggish.

I bought the truck and did everything it needed. I never thought I would sell it but I fell in love with "the big trucks" and bought a Dually.

 

Here are the details:

1999 F250 PowerStroke ext. cab 6 speed - 186,000 miles

Clean CarFax - Texas truck most of it's life. I flew to Texas to buy it. click here to view Carfax.

Never Wrecked

Never smoked in; no tears or rips on cloth interior; no cracks in dash; smells good too

No rust underneath. Outside - hail damage on roof and hood, some small scratches on side of body from bushes etc. On white paint, you can barely see the scratches unless you are within 5 feet.

New front windshield, no chips or cracks to look through.

Ranch hand bumpers front and rear - rear has Class 5 receiver - 10,000 lb tow rating. Front has a place to hook up a ball mount or mount a winch. These things are BAD!

Tailgate is in good shape.

Hide-away gooseneck hitch. This is a nice one. 7500lb. tongue weight 30,000lbs. total weight capacity.

Rotella synthetic with 7k more miles to go before next change.

No smoke when it starts first of the day

No missing on cold start - runs smooth immediately, good injectors

New NAPA fuel filter - all maintenance items have been done. (You won't need to touch it for thousands of miles.)

Glow plugs are great. Didn't plug it in this winter, and it started in 15 deg cold after sitting 4 days.

Clutch feels good to me and tranny shifts great no grinding in any gear.

No play in steering other than a little that's in every F series.

new power steering fluid - flushed the old out when putting the new in.

Front brakes have plenty of pad life left and modulate great. Stops very well. Of course it has ABS.

BF Goodrich All Terrain tires have 11k miles on them. I have already rotated and re-balanced them once.

No transmission of diff leaks.

Electronic brake controller hooked up works great.

New Magnaflow exhaust turbo back - stainless steel - lifetime warranty

New Bilstein front shocks - lifetime warranty I believe

New ISSPRO guages, boost and EGT on the pillar - ready for your chip or programmer if you want to.

New ball joints top and bottom both sides

New Pioneer in-dash head unit with 4 new speakers - play MP3s sounds great; has remote control

Tow mirrors are new

Batteries are 18 months old.

Airaid intake system; old style uses K&N filter. Just re-oiled, ready to go.

Fuel Mileage: the truck got 17.5 mpg hand calculated driving from Mobile to Birmingham staying between 75-80 mph with 3.73 gears. This was with no chip or programmer. Common opinion is that those can add 2mpg. Regardless as it sits, driving at 65-70 mph and this truck is right at 20mpg.

 

 

Price $8500.

 

 

Thoughts:

You can buy a cheaper one, but you may have to spend to get every issue ironed out of it. I already did that. You may see one for $7500, but what you might wonder is, "What does this truck need that I don't know about?"

For me, on this truck, it was ball joints, $1000.

On my new Dually, it was that all the power door locks don't work neither do the mirrors. I have to fix all that. Think about it.

Also, if you are buying a PSD with an automatic with over 150,000 miles, you should wonder when the automatic tranny is going go out. It costs anywhere from $2500-$4500 to replace one. The manual transmissions last forever.
