So is about $19,000 where the price should be? its a 2000 3/4ton crew cab short bed psd with 50,000 on it hpop just replaced went bad im guessing for sitting alot?

95powersmoker 01-13-2011 09:58 AM

I would look it over really good. Those miles are real low which is nice. The HPOP shouldn't have gone bad at 50,000. That is concerning to me. Do you know where the work was done and what the symptoms were or is this truck on a lot? If its a private sale, I would like to know who did the work and why it was replaced and did it fix said symptoms. I would think you could get it for 16 or 17k. 19k seems like a lot but without seeing it, its hard for me to say. What was it used for?

shorty2tall 01-13-2011 12:07 PM

im not sure the symptoms just know it cost $1500 was done at the ford dealer and the symptoms went away after it was replaced.
the condition of the truck is perfect other than 3 little dents where a kid ran into it with his bike.
the owners before the guy that has it know had it sense new didnt drive it much the dad died son got it they were both older son didnt drive it much im not sure what work it did and son sold to my girl friends dad which doesnt want it he i think puller a couple 5th wheels he owns a 5th wheel business.
and i could probably get it for 18K no lower more then likely

CSIPSD 01-13-2011 12:35 PM

If its in good shape, XLT, pretty much loaded I would snatch it up!

shorty2tall 01-13-2011 12:44 PM

ya its an xlt power windows lock mirrors no leather or sun roof i think a tape player but id put my own in it either way
the only thing that concerns me is it has sat for most its life and no vehicle likes that.
sense the hpop went out im worried about injectors? could those be next?

95powersmoker 01-13-2011 12:58 PM

I would get it. That would be a nice truck with low miles. Injectors will last upwards of 200k miles if the oil is changed routinely. As long as the truck was maintained, you shouldn't have to worry about that. at 50k miles, he still had to drive it 5k miles a year. I wouldn't worry about that too much.

shorty2tall 01-13-2011 01:11 PM

ok cool thanks alot guys!!! this is probably the best forum ever!!! :tu:

My truck pictured here...
http://inlinethumb49.webshots.com/42...600x600Q85.jpg

had 18k on it when I bought it in 05. These trucks do not get harmed if just sitting. Change the oil and your good to go.

More then likely the truck had an IPR issue. When there is a HPO concern and they see low HPO, Ford does not check the IPR, or even touch it... They replace the HPOP and it comes with a new IPR...

Hence the $1000 bill.

Yup, buy it and move on!

Thank you!

Let us know if you have anymore questions!!!

DIESELMECH95 01-13-2011 01:25 PM

I agree with 95powersmoker reply. It is kind of strange that a HPOP failed at 50,000 miles. I'm curious as to what the symptoms were that led them to replace the pump. Could be that since the work was done at the dealership they wanted to cover all their bases by replacing the entire pump. What I mean is that the old pump may have had a simple oil leak or IPR issue but replacing the entire pump ensures a fix to the problem. Also, simple repairs don't pay like a pump replacement does. Price seems a little high but that doesn't suprise me because those 7.3's are bullet-proof and the demand is high. Most 7.3 owners are holding on to them. As for the injectors, they should not have any issues due to the failure of the HPOP. Other than that, it sounds like a nice rig.

shorty2tall 01-13-2011 01:37 PM

ya im going to talk to him and find out the symptoms were but he said after it was fixed the symptoms are gone
and if i can ill get some pics

shorty2tall 01-20-2011 11:59 PM

heres some pics the first pic is the only dents ive noticed and the rims are 20's with new bfg A/t's i believe.
ive just got to talk to me dad tm and her dad and ill know if it'll be mine soon

I think that $19,000 is way to much, LOOK in the internet, like the truck trader, ebay, or FORD dealers. I pretty sure you can find a 2000 7.3 for less than $12,000(BUT it won't have only 50,000 miles):humm:

Well ya that would be the whole point in getting this one it's got low miles and I kbb it it's exactly where it should be at and diesels go for alot around here no matter what the miles are cuz diesel is huge here

Its priced very good for a CC and with the low miles.

OceanDiesel 01-21-2011 10:24 AM

With the low miles it is a really good price, especially a CC.

I bought my N E W 2008 F-250 6.4 SUPER-CAB LONG-BED 2WD in 10/23/2008 for $21,698 & it's not the the ugly front cap work truck model. TRUCKS are cheaper here in MIAMI:humm:

You must be K I D D I N G:lol::D:spit: I did one hell of a job talking the price down from $36,000:tu: I didn't buy a 4X4, cause I live in a "BIG CITY" where I'll be driving on concrete, also when I go off-roading, I'll be on my ATV. :yeah:

OceanDiesel 01-22-2011 09:07 AM

For the city a 2WD would be great! But with being from WY, it's more than likely similar to here in IA, alot of back roads that 4WD is MANDATORY, especially in winter. And it's common knowledge about the value of a large 4WD...and you're gonna pay for it. With adding all that to the "value aspect" of the truck...$19,000 isn't bad at all.

I see where your coming from, WINTER to me is 2 to 3 days of 49* weather a/year & N O snow, to me a back road is the alley, where the big green dumpters are kept:humm:

Here in MIAMI, all you'll see is RAIN & every once in a while a HURRICANE:scare2:

MattressMan 01-24-2011 06:50 PM

It might be a good price but you got an in with his daughter,:w2: no pun intedned, so in my mind you should get a better price than the general public. Otherwise nice truck. Good luck with the sale.:tu:

Lol ya he's asking 21,359 to public he's a salesmen lol

I talked to him today he said the symptoms of the hpop going out was it would start die then finally it just wouldn't start. Does the sound right to y'all?

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

oh and the only thing when i drove it that seemed weird to me is when u like floor it or be giving it a good bit of gas and let off it went silent but didnt die and the rpm didnt go down right away it seemed it ddnt go down till i tapped the brake idk if thats normal and i just dont notice it on gassers cuz the engines are quieter.
is that just a trans thing for diesels sense there made for torque and pulling?
cuz i think i noticed the same thing on the 97 i was looking at.
sorry this is so long :dang:

Depends what speeds you were at when you let off whether the RPM's will drop back or how far they will drop. If your at highway speeds and let off, they will stay up. If your doing 20mph and let off, they will drop to just above idle.

ok cool ya at like 20 it would drop but it seemed anything above 40 it wouldnt alot ill drive it again before i buy it and pay more attention to the speed and rpm when it does it
what about the symptoms of the hpop going out sound right?

Yes, It could have been a bad HPOP or bad IPR. Ford usually just starts replacing things without diagnosing the actual problem, thats the only reason i asked in the first place. Most of us go deer hunting with a rifle, they go with a AK-47 to make sure they don't miss.

I wouldn't worry about the RPM's, If the truck idles well, runs and feels strong, when you punch it and it downshifts and scoots. No leaks. Buy the thing already.

Have you started it up on a Cold start yet? I would definitely want to do that.

Intake and Exhaust and you will hear it.

Lange503 01-26-2011 01:57 PM

when you do the foil delete go get em sand blasted then painted, it'll look WAY better, i painted mine silver:c:

Ya that's what I was thinking cuz there's a place in town that will do a whole bicycle in powder coat for 75 so I'd think that would be less or close to the same for the intake.
And if u get it I gave a friend in a welding class that's going to straight pipe it till I can get an exhaust.

Lange503 01-26-2011 06:35 PM

powder coat is even better ha do them both if the funds permit :tu:
