Default How many miles are TOO many?

Have been looking at purchasing an 08 f250 super duty crew cab with king ranch package. Truck has 152k on it? 1 owner clean carfax. Already has dpf delete, intake ,exhaust and aux fuel tank. Any reason to be concerned? Test drove it today and the truck runs great.

Thanks

Brandon

Get the VIN and get an OASIS report from your local Ford dealer. I wouldn't worry about those miles, make sure the mods were done well.

Thanks for the quick reply. Any thing to look for with the mods that would tell me they were done poorly?

Make sure it doesn't have any fuel or exhaust leaks, and the air intake system is secure at all connections. Also check the routing of the aux. fuel line that it doesn't rub or chafe against frame members or anything.

Being it has an aux fuel tank it was probably just driven a lot of miles regularly. I wouldn't worry about those miles myself. Definitely check the oasis though.
