:help Well I looked at the truck today it was in the dealer for shifting problems. That kind of worries me considering the truck has a SCT Chip in it and I know it has 5 IN performance exhaust on it and dont what else has been done to the truck as far as mods are concerned. The truck has 89k on it but when looking at the truck it looks more like 189k instead. Please help!!!

Sounds like one to walk away from, Yooper. There are other trucks and you DON'T want someone else's problems.

Make sure it has the latest flash. Look for coolant puking, bellhousing leaks on the tranny, smoke on startup, feel the tranny while you drive...

Thanks for all the great information. I have a dealer that is a friend looking for an older Superduty with the 7.3 Liter in about the 2000 to 2002 range. Thanks for the offer rockns but I have to trade my F150 in on the Superduty and my wife doesnt want me spending any more than about 22k


Thanks
Dave
