Possible Trade 2001 F250-truck-jpg


A few other things that I want to say…

It leaks oil out of the turbo o rings. It’s a known problem with the 7.3s. It leaked a little bit (maybe a quart every 3k miles) and I put the new turbo housings on it and now it leaks more. Its my fault and its not a hard fix just time consuming. I may take off a little money if it really bothers you or I may even fix it for you if it hurts my sales. It only leaks if you punched the throttle (I noticed this last year when I was trying to murge onto the interestate with a trailer) or when you park it will leave a small puddle. I think I put 3 quarts in it before my last oil change. Its just another annoying little problem that is time consuming to fix.

Also I just found out I need new ball joints (I just ordered them) When I bought the truck two years ago they where shot, I replaced them and it drove a lot better but it still have a little wonder to it. So I replaced everything from the steering box to the tie rods. Pretty much anything with a joint on it. I also put new brakes on it all the way around and it still had a very slight wonder. My tires and rims where shot. They where steal rims and the valve stem holes where rusty and leaked slowly. I bought new rims/tires for it and it still wonders a little bit. I notice it, but most other people do not. I think I notice it just because I drive these type of trucks quite a bit. I took it to 2 shops and they both said I installed the ball joints too tight. Again easy fix, jst time consuming. If it hurts my sales I can fix it or take money off. I had the truck up to 80 MPH the other day on the interestate and had no issues. So its not bad, just annoying.

Other then that I love the truck, its really nice I just don't use it. So I want a nicer car or gas truck.

If no one buys it I will just keep it as its almost paid off. Thanks again for looking
