Ok I am brand NEW to this sight and never owned a Diesel Truck (I have tractors but thats completely different). I am looking at buying a 2004 F350 6.0 I just want to know if anyone can give me insight on this deal. I have read quite a bit on this sight and just havent found the answer I am looking for. Yet if it is posted somewhere else then I apologize in advance. THANKS for any help given.

Truck details- F-350 crew cab, king Ranch, long wheel base, 6.0, 213K miles, truck is in great shape

Work being performed right now before I purchase the truck- New High pressure oil pump, New oil Cooler, New Bullet Proof brand EGR cooler, New sway bar bushings, Injectors tested, A few other components when getting to the oil pump, Rebuild on the turbo.

The Kelly Blue Book is $18,990 I am giving $13,100 Just wanting some input before I finalize this deal and would LOVE some insight from all that is willing to give it.

 

First off if they are at the EGR cooler id tell the guy to just delete the damned thing. 6.0L are usually cheaper than other diesels, and there is a good reason for it. But if they guy is at least fixing some things before you get it you should be ok. Our 6.0L on the ranch made it to 250K, and my friends made it to 240K. I know im a cummins guys, and I know their are some good 6.0L out their, just make the good upgrades to the engine and it should serve you well.

 

The EGR delete was something I was wanting to do but in my area we have emissions testing and I was told by mechanics that it would fail the emissions test. I will check more into this and if I can I will delete it in the near future. Thanks for the input TCR

 

It will fail if the check engine light is on and they plug in a see a EGR cooler issue, other than that I know a lot of trucks that get emissions testing and still pass.
