First job tomorrow

blacksnapon · Mar 12, 2008

The first thing I have to do tomorrow is run through the shop, a trade in 07 f250 6.0, lifted, huge tires, etc, etc. They want to know if they should keep it for the lot, or send it to the auction. Usually, these need to go away!

You could just send it my way.

Let us know how bad it is.

Blue Goose · Mar 12, 2008

What did they trade for? Oh BTW, if you take some pictures make sure you take some of the performance decals... smiliestirthepot

Usually, a customer purchasing this vehicle, would want a full warranty. You cant do it. If you're going to spend 30-40k on a truck, what would you want? Although pretty, its a headache waiting to happen.

Ah, bet it's got the original block. ROFLMAO

I usually start looking at a vehicle, thinking, Someone got rid of this vehicle for some reason, what was it?

After seeing the price of fuel this evening, it wouldn't surprise me if they traded for a four cylinder Ranger!!!

Again I'LL take it! LOL

89frankenford · Mar 12, 2008

ill take it off yours hands! get a pic of the steering. im curious to see if they did it the right way or not

polarbear · Mar 12, 2008

My guess- they owed about $10K more than it was worth, fuel and payments were eating them up alive, and the store slammed them into a program Explorer. Just guessing here.

We just bought one of those for the lot from our Dodge store (they don't do chitt with Fords, for some reason, but we do OK). Cummins trade-in. Hope the guy doesn't regret it- the 6.7 is turning into another Ford 6.0 story.

Just curious... what is hapening to the Cummins motor or set-up? Are they having EGR issues, injector issues, turbo issue or something else?

The EPA and "tree-huggers" wanted better emission motors, but now diesel trucks less mpg (so more fuel and emissions are given off on a per mile basis) than before, they cost more and diesel fuel is more expensive than gasoline... so nobody wins.

"Tree-huggers" want us to use ethonal, but vehicles get slightly less mpg than 100% gasoline and due to farmers growing more corn, flour prices are up, potato prices are up... so the net gain for a better environment is higher prices on other commodities and lower MPG's!!!!

What idiots!!!

Ha if it goes to the auction it'll end up here at my dealer! Thats where all are 6.0's come from, RAV and auction trucks. We'll usually rip the chip out and kind of make it look stock and sell it, when the cust brings it back with a problem it's a good thing they sold the ESP...

Jake brake issues (seems to operate at random sometimes), software/driveability issues, cracked exhaust manifolds. EGR is about the only thing they aren't having issues with, but most of the stuff is emissions-related.
