Get a cashiers check and have it made out to the bank that holds the lean/title.... They will give him his cut of the profits if he has any coming.. That truck is a steal!..... Looks like a Homebrewed CAI with that whipple.


When you go to look at it, send Blownford a PM and ask him what to look and listen for.. The pulley size and MAF size will indicate wether the owner has upgraded his whipple kit or not.. If you got some better pics of the engine compartment, then I'd love to see them, that CAI on the end of the MAF has me curious... It does look like a mostly stock whipple from the pics.
His MAF should be sticking up around 11 o clock near the power steering reservoir, so I think he rotated it down to far.. Not a huge deal, just something to note.

Okay, i attached all my pictures, it looks like a Airaid CAI, he said that the whipple was put on 2 years ago, its fabtech lift. I have been researching superchargers, and Blown Ford always seem to have the most knowledgeable posts, so i will try to get a hold of him.

Any idea how long it has been for sale. That will tell you a lot. If its been on the market more than a few days there are probably hidden issues at that price.

Its been up for 16 days
Where i live i think it hurts the value to lift and supercharge a truck because of reliability and mpg

Before I bought it I would throw a mechanic $50 and have him check it out. At that price it should be sold within hours or days.....

It may just be priced for a quick sale. As the month ends and the new one begins people tend to tighten up on finances....

Nothing looks too bad to me.. I see a boost gauge hose running towards the A pillar where he has some pods.. That CAI sucks and I would replace it.
A 2 year run for a gauge monitored system is also a plus in my book.. If he just bolted it on for the sale I would be a bit worried.. This is a great bang for the buck OP, I wish you luck.. Even if there's a misfire or slight tuning issue, it's still going to be an easy fix.. Keep us posted.

So any update? What did you decide?

So from what I've been told is these trucks have a nickname of $2,000 tune-up. At that mileage I'd take that into consideration.
Mine has 77k miles and has the tick

I have not bought it yet, im hoping to get this weekend or the next. I was planning last weekend but I had to go to a wedding. Problem is i have to sell one of my vehicles before i could get it.

I know it, just another thing to consider but at the mileage and price its not too bad plus my father has owned a Ford Dealership for 20 years so i will see if he can help me out.
