ok cool thanks i was going to say if those gauges are shit then that would make sense cuz i can hear it spool good atlast it sounds like it spools good. has anyone had experience with gow shift gauges? is 12,900 alot for a f350 CC LB 144,000miles? with 3inch dp to 4inch mbrp and it has a cone on it? with the 3 glow shift gauges

The price seems a little high, especially if it's 2wd. Since you didn't say, I'll assume its 4wd. The '97s are very popular, esp. the f350's, which keeps the price up. With only 144k miles, she should have lots of life left in her if she's received good care. The automatic transmission (E4OD) needs to stay cool, and have regular fluid changes to last longer. See if you can get any maintenance records to give you an idea of the kind of care she's received. Good luck. BTW, my '97 F250 has 202 k, and is still going strong.

sorry ya its a 4wd 12,900 is high? thats what i was thinking.

Yep, a bit high, Maybe 10kish. I bought my 95 with 218k miles for $6k. That should give you an idea.
