Deal on a 04 dually crew stroke or stay with my 94 crew idi

[Tjjmhl350]

Im kinda torn what to do, I can get this 04 crew lariat diesel for 11900 clean 150k , 4x4 dually I've been reading alot about the the 6.0 mileage and people say 13 city 16 17 18 mpg highway. Im not really impressed as my 94 idi 5 speed gets about that now, Another wrench i know has a 00 crew 7.3 and he says he get's 20 all day on the highway. Also the dealer says he has no intrest in taking my truck on trade in, I just bought mm push plates, new rear leafs new hubs,new tires n rims etc etc for the 94 but havn't done the work yet, This dude said he would finance me with 1400 down and i can keep my 94 for private or keep the old lady will love that ...Ohhh and massachusetts bones you and makes you regiister commercial GOAT show for a dually, I wanna hear from you 6.0 guys and the old idi's Thanks on advice that comes my way

i like my 6.0, i think they are GREAT trucks. there are guys on here that get 19-20 all the time in their 6.0s..... i get 17 at 80-85mph

Right on the interior has it all day. We had a 2000 excursion that came from alaska v-10 clean, Ole lady took out some telephone poles, with no scatches to the kids or her inside, so Id say if she was in her KIA she'd be hurtin, Love'd that truck, now thats all she wants, maybe if she antes up her own wallet for another.. Yeah I love my ole 94 but the bench seat and the leg room for me iis kinda back wrenching, at 6'2.. Also in mass anythin over 10k gross they make you register once a year 20bucks per 1k gvwr, plus full dot inspect and your supposed to get a medical card which i have but not the point, Ive also heard the the 04 early 6.0s are the most problematic, my friend who runs a diesel shop said stay away from early 04 build 6.0s..

good price, nice truck

[Tjjmhl350]

I appreciate the look bro, Motor looks super clean, I see alot of trucks on craigs all the boost tubes r coverered in black crap, we'lll see this week whats goes down, I had a 02 crew 250 bought out from under me for 8900 saturdday so maybe ill spend a little more

[03Powerstroke]

anything done to the engine?

[Tjjmhl350]

Dunno yet, illl see this week he said the starter was gone in it, so he was gonna get one in it today, My buddie does the egr cooler tubes all the time, so that wouldnt be a issue, just effect my offer price, It is after all, a buyers market these days

[03Powerstroke]

yep, coolant filter would be the first mod i do, along with egr delete

[Tjjmhl350]

How spendy is the delete ?

[03Powerstroke]

200 for the delete, 120 for coolant filter.

Try lowballing the dealer

Nice looking truck, if it were closer I would buy it tomorow. The black wrap you are talking about on the cooler tubes is because the late 04 and up trucks came with a plastic cooler tube on the drivers side and they were black, the o0 and early 04 have metal tubes= better. Also the early 04 trucks have less problems with the EGR coolers, the round ones are better, the later square ones suck. A couple simple updates for around 1K you would have a truck that will last a nice long time, new oil cooler,coolant filter, egr delete,and another beast mod would be an aftermarket exhaust from turbo back eliminating the Cat but that would take you closer to 1.5K
