Hey all! My name is Brian and I can't tell you enough how much help this site is! I've read through all the stickys-threads many many times on what you need to know about owning a 6.0l diesel. Ive been on this site so much gaining great info that when I'm ready to make a purchase this spring I'm gonna know exactly what to look for and feel great about the purchase! My question to all of you is this..
1. Should I ask the seller of the truck if they monitor the EOT,ECT..ect? If they dnt should I be concerned unless the deltas are ok?
2. I'm going to 100% be monitoring the motor with a edge insight while testing driving- do I gotta ask or just hook up my monitor? Just dnt want a nasty look lol with it being a private party or dealer
3. I'm looking at 05-07..IMO best looking truck on the road! How many miles is too many?? I'm looking to spend bewteen 17-19k
I think you can get a good truck at that price .. But depends on mileage. I just picked up my 05 w/ 154k but just had head studs and egr delete done. It was lifted this past yr and I paid 15k . Needs a little tlc ( cleaning wise) but it a great truck so far I love it! But I also searched or over 2 months for a truck that finally met my standards.
I'm located in Michigan...Ive been seeing 05-06 with 150k for about 17-20k. Im talking CCSB 4x4. I did find one in traverse city 05 ccsb 4x4 for 14,300$ just seemed like its too good to be true
As for hooking up your Edge, just make sure you show them you are not changing anything in their truck. Take something from Edge's website that shows it is not a tuner.
They should have zero issues then.
Try to make sure you catch the truck "cold" when you test it.
I'm from South Dakota. When I was down in texas I found a pretty much stock cclb 4x4 king rach with 166k on the dash for $13000. But just got lucky with that one I think
Contact me, I just bought one in Texas from Afghanistan and paid $16k w/ttl out the door on an '06 f250 super with 83k mi. I can probably help you find one if you'd like. I know a few dealers here and there and wholesale auction guys. Lemme know.
I just picked up a 05 king ranch completely bulletproofed for $18k. Has 190k on it though, but for me personally I want a higher mileage 6.0 because to me that means it has proven itself a good motor already. Just my .02
I would ask the owner if you could hook up the edge and show them its not a tuner, just a monitor to look at a few parameters. Most powerstroke owners are pretty cool, if they won't let you, then you don't need that truck.
Good Luck with buying a truck!
