One of them is a bucket truck lolQuote:
This truck needs a 7.3 direct ignition powerstroke engine with turbo
The first one is nice but no 4wd, those are cheaper than they are here though.

What's wrong with a bucket truck, lmao. The engine is in the back of the dually, just gotta get dirty to rebuild and reinstall.
Anyways, point was they can be had if you can wait for the deal or travel to get one.
1995 crew cab powerstroke diesel Looks like an OK truck, but 2WD and has miles.
if towing, I suggest a 2wd truck. better milage, ride better, easier maint. I probably use 4wd on my 2 trucks maybe once a year, and that's purely because I run used tires with like no tread on them. 90% of the time I'm in 4x4 is to use low range to back a trailer up a hill. The 4r100 likes to puke fluid temporarily out a seal pushing a large load in reverse. I put manual hubs on one of the trucks just to get low range 2wd. I don't know how you plan to use the truck so I can't really comment.
And pre 05 4x4 trucks have the turning circle of a small city.
Trucks sell like hot cakes in the south.
Stupid high resale values :(
Yeah I was looking at that one, there's another one in there that looks pretty good also.Quote:

edit: oh and yeah the turning ratio sucks lol
1994 duelly MUST SELL!!

I'd inquire about the second one personally. You might want to take a trip to the beach Paul!
Honestly I'd rather have the one I'm looking at instead of the first one but the second one does sound good. I hate no pic!Quote:

Odd price usually means scam. people trying to sell something put a round number. worth a shot

You're sutch a redneck Ray. lol
I've heard about getting more power by just bumping the fuel pressure up. I'll look into that after I fix the leaky injector. I got the parts in yesterday to fix it.
