Looking at buying a 02 EC LB 4x4 auto

[fireman346]

Hey guys found this truck at a local dealer. It is an 2002 EX cab LB 4x4 automatic. Truck is in decent shape. The factory installed rust that comes through above the rear fenders is starting to bubble up. Truck is an XLT everything seems to work great. My only concern is that the truck has 282k on the clock. What do i need to be looking for. Ive drove the truck and it seems to ride and drive great. Plenty of power. No unusual noises or smoke. Trans shifts good. It seems like it shifts really firm. Im in a half ton chevy now so anything would be firm compared to it. Im giveing 6800 for the truck so i think im getting a decent buy. What do you all think.

price sounds right, i'd say you found a good truck, just gotta deal with the rust.

sounds great although my tranny shifted hard up until the day it gave out but what you payed you have room to get another one if it gives you problems but enjoy

So how long before the mods begin? Darn powerstroke.org and its ability to make us all diesel addicts!
