its o.k.....
Today I was driving and threw another code!
now the other cat is bad....

warranty will cover this one. I am getting ready to sell this truck, and upgrade to an F350 screw long wheel base....should happen in the next month or so....

My wife agrees I need a bigger truck, so might as well get it before I throw more money into this one.

What ever you do make sure it is not. A 6.0 powerstroke

I usually buy the biggest engine available due to work load, but does the 6.0 suck or what? I was reading the SD forum for hours yesterday.

I am looking for an 08 because I like the way they look better. I believe the 7.3 is the biggest for that model year.

Yes uness you got 6+ extra grand to take it to a shop and have them do head studs Egr deete oil cooler injectors turbo ect not a good work truck or truck at all can't even tow their own payload without blowing headgaskets just don't buy a 6.0! No matter how sweet the deal is save you're self I lost alot of money on mine get a 7.3 put a intake exhaust and chip ull be good if u can afford 08 pluss go for it but read on powerstroke nation and do ALOT of resurch before you web think about buying one.

Also go into a local diesel performance shop and sit down and ask advice about cmmon problems on certain trucks and years and tell him what ull be doing and what you need they will be able to help you out if they are nice guys and find you what kind of truck you should be looking for
