Hey, I posted this over at OB also but thought I may get a better response here.
I don't know much about the 6.0's but I have an opportunity to purchsae an '06 dually crew cab with 73,000 on the ticker. It's one of my dealers I haul for & he's offering it to me for 22,500.00 I haven't driven it but I did look it over briefly today. It's got a check engine light on , which he will have to take care of but my questions are:
1. it ran a bit rough as soon as it cranked over then smoothed out after about 10 seconds. What would cause that? It hasn't been sitting long because a buddy of mine hauled it in for me this past friday.
2. The bottom of the turbo mount is wet with oil residue & there looks to be some residue in the valley. Is this normal for the 6.0, more specifically a 73,000 mile 6.0?
3. It has an intake and exhaust already on it plus there's a knob mounted poorly in the dash which doesn't appear to do anything. It's loose so when I turned it, it just spins because I can't grab the base of the knob. No clicks is what I'm getting at. Could be a 4 or 6 position chip knob or it could be part of the DVD system for the rear passengers. Where would I look for the chip or absense of one( is the ECM in the same place as my 7.3) ? If there was a chip & it was removed, would that kick off the check engine light if it was tapped into something else? If it had an edge module or something like that, where would I look under the hood for the signs that it might have been there?
4. Does 22,500.00 sound like a good price? I've checked Kelley Blue Book & ebay & autotrader & it seems to be a good price. It's 500.oo over what he bought it for at the auction. KBB says private party is about 27,000 in my area. What are you guys seeing in your areas?
I can look touch & feel this truck because it's local but I don't know enough about the 6.0 to know if I'm walking into another problem child like the '03 has been. Any input is greatly appreciated. Here's a picture....maybe.
