Im a diesel Newb and need help from you experts. I bought a 04 F250 this week to tow our bumper pull camper. I was not even looking at 6.0's but came across this one and it was extremely clean, local sell. The guy stated that it had been studded and EGR delete among other things. The truck runs fantastic.
He had over $17K in invoices from the original (First) owner. In skimming through these invoices I noted "EGR Restrictor" and "Replaced Headgasket" so I assumed it had been deleted and studded. At the time of purchase I did not know what to look for under the hood so I was relying on the invoice and word from this second owner.
Now to my question. All these items have been replaced per invoices in last 30K miles: New brakes and drums: Valve Cover Gaskets: EGR Valve: EGR Kit: 8 Injectors: EGR Cooler: Oil Cooler: Head Gaskets: All Ball Joints: Shocks and Struts: Transmission: High Pressure Oil Pump: Batteries: Alternator. After looking at this forum all weekend I noted several threads/pics on the EGR delete and head studs. I compared with my Truck and don't think I have either of them? Can you experts confirm per attached pics, sorry for pics it was dark outside.
I don't think I have a bad Truck as over $17K worth of parts just replaced, I just don't want to be on the paying end of those parts again down the road. Thanks for your time. Truck has 200K miles and most all repair was at 170K miles.
