so its a 04 f350 ex cab long bed blowing white smoke and is leaking coolant i have a 99 7.3 i love it and i'm keeping it but i need another truck is it worth my trouble to replace the cooler and do the head gaskets? the truck has 115,000 i can get it for 6,000
For me it would really depend on the condition of the truck. You can put 2-3 grand in it (if you do the work yourself) and have a nice truck for under 10k, if the rest of the truck is beat, you still have a beat up truck after putting money in it. If its in good shape, I'd jump on it for 6k, if you plan on doing the work yourself.
might be worth a gamble. egr is gone for sure, head gaskets, maybe not. just depends on how much he drove it after the egr cooler ruptured, but then hes going to lie.
i decided against it i'm getting married in 3 months and i dont have time i could do the work no problem but i dont feel like doing it in the cold i'm thinking maybe a f150 what do you guys think are the new ones good?
