So I have a 97 f150 2wd reg cab long box 4.6 auto with 174xxx miles runs great with a few visual mods and my dad has a 01 fx4 screw with 5.4 and 215xxx not currently running bone stock he just said if he gets it running he would trade his truck for mine plus a grand it sounds good but hes driven it hard jumps it, off roading, and kinda speeds and accelerates fast so its abused so im not sure what needs replaced so what do you think

 

if u think its abused say no, an abused 4x4 is a bad idea

 

Def no.. Def yes if it wasn't abused, but that's not the case

 

I would say NO. But if you do go through with it ....pay $50 to a local mechanic to look it over for obvious problems and go from there.

 

Idk if abused is the correct word he took care of it maintenance wise he was just hard on it when he drove it

 

I understand.. Do what others have said and it'll basically come down with what you want to do.. Personally I wouldn't because of miles and the money you've put in your truck.. But I bet the fact it's a screw draws you in lol

 

The fact its a 4x4 is what draws me in lol the fact its a screw its a big big bonus since I recently got one of these lol

 

And kbb lists mine around 2k and his is around 7k but the miles do worry me

 

I say you tell your dad to do the swap strait up because of the new edition to your family!

 

I don't think he will since he's already losing 4000 on the deal
