I finally bought a real truck

[B0B]

I I enjoyed my F150 for almost 3 years. I loved the Ecoboost and all of the creature comforts, but decided that I didn't need all of the luxury. After doing a lot of research, I settled on a 05-07 super duty. A real work truck without all the BS. something I can work on and keep running for a long time.

After a few months of searching and I ended up with this 06 f350 with only 54k miles.

Wow i did not expect that. I love the truck. Very rare where i live to see a single cab 250/2500

Well, hopefully you don't have the 6.0 woes.

Thanks, it isn't every day you see a single cab fX4. Especially one this nice.

Hopefully not. I got the motorcraft coolant out of there and added red coolant and a filter right away. Turned off the EGR, changed fuel filters, upgraded fuel regulator spring, tuned FICM and PCM, etc. it should be good to go for a long time. Oil/coolant delta is only 4 degrees, so it shows all the signs of being healthy

Just keep up with maintenance, and keep the bullshit tuners off of it. No bullydog garbage.

Either get it REALLY tuned via diesel shop, or leave it alone.

Already got custom tunes from innovative diesel performance and have my live wire ts hooked up!

Nice and looks clean! Are those the Harley Davidson wheels?

 

[MTBSully]

Nice! I have two 6.0s at the moment. My 2006 crew cab harley davidson. And also a 2006 single cab long bed 2wd XL work truck that I am building into a street cruiser/race truck haha

Looks good. Only 54k miles, that's a rare find.

 

[DSG2003Mach1]

damn, thats a good lookin truck

 

[Blackoyote]

That's awesome, what does a single cab FX4 like that go for with those low miles?

 

[jeffh81]

Damn thats a nice truck.

 

[mc01svt]

me personally i would have bought a v10 model or an older 7.3L.

Thanks, they are 2011 king ranch wheels. Found them on Craigslist with the tires.

Thank you. I got it for 18,500.

 

[Laffs]

Don't think I have ever seen a single cab FX4 of that genre. Really cool pick up, nice find.

 

[72MachOne99GT]

It has a weird (in a good way) Bronco vibe about it with that cap on there.

I like it.

 

[Mpoitrast87]

love 6.0's. My father just bought an 06 crew cab lariat. EGR delete and change coolant and it'll last just as long as a 7.3

 

[Lambeau]

Very cool and those wheels are tits.

BTW: Did you ever find a Bullitt?

 

[gimmie11s]

Both gutless pigs. Would not own.




OP gorgeous truck! If it was me, i'd spend the $2500 and bulletproof it. Never have to worry about it again.

The 6.0 is a bad ass motor and takes WELL to tuning once bulletproofed. The trans will take over 500whp (over 1000 tq) all day too which is an added bonus.
