I have just bought a 2000 f250 super cab with long bed 4x4 it has 150k miles, I have only owned cummins/dodge diesels but found a good deal on this one.

It is my new project/daily driver, so I appreciate any advice on where to go from here, what to do and what to avoid. Like I said I am new to the powerstroke.

Updates:
It is 100% stock
I have already ordered gauges
Plus stock headlights, because he had aftermarket ones (so i guess its 98% stock)
I do plan on lifting it, but not sure how high or what wheels and tires

And yes I know how to use the search function, its also nice to hear new or different thoughts.

thank you

 

My condolences

 

good deal i sold my fummins for a 04 6.0l powerstroke

 

Nothing wrong with the good ole 7.3

well i dont know about that ive been tracking wireing gremlins in one for the past week never had an issue with the 6.0l

 

wait til your 6.0 nears 200k. youll have nightmares

Actually the 7.3 is better than the 6.0 anyday......

 

well I would of got a cummins but couldn't find a decent one in my price range (wanted no payments so I could buy mods). I do like the abundance of 7.3s which mean plenty of options. I have to say after driving it the last couple days I have noticed a few things that I should share, I am not biased I love cummins and my new powerstroke.

a lot of these have been said before but owning both now i know

1. For one ford's body is built a lot more solid then the dodge
2. Cummins has a lot more get up and go the powerstroke is sluggish (maybe just this one)
3. Cummins gets a lot better mpg's I used to get 18-20 in my 12 valve this gets 14-15
4. Ford has better interior
there are some others but I can't remember

either way there all good trucks except for chevy with ifs and duramax

 

never say wont
