I bought a 97 powerstroke, 5 speed manual in need of a clutch, with 101k on it for $300 bucks it had sat for 6-7 years and got it fired up. Gonna tow it a long ways home in a week. I know i need to change all the fluids and filters and all kinds of stuff, but being a DMax guy just lookin to see what else i should look at on it. Figured u powerstroke dudes could lend a hand. Always loved the old body style strokes!

 

You got one H E L L of a deal, those old POWERSTROKES don't have alot of HP & TQ compare to your D-MAX, but they are hard to kill

 

Yeah thats what i have heard. They sure look and sound bad *** tho! even if its a p o s for 300 bucks, cant go wrong. I bought if for my dad so mine doesnt get used as much. Im gonna intake and exhaust it and just keep her running if it pans out.

Here she is!

 

 

Guess i shoulda put this on the ford section of this forum. Anybody know anything about these 7.3's? Any issues they have that i need to look at or anything like that?

 

I'm callin the fuzz, you stole that truck

 

Just the tires & toolbox is worth the $300

 

i know. The rancher owns the place i was guiding antalope hunters on in douglas wyoming, and i saw it just parked out with other "junk" trucks and asked if it ran. We worked on it for a bit and fired her up. So i told him i would buy it if it was cheap. Gonna pull it home the 3rd after another hunt up there.

 

Hell just the windshield worth more

 

good GOD. when i read the first post I fully expected the body to be beat to heck, run down to primer and bare metal.... you see what im gettin at.

be glad I wasnt there with $300 before you
