New guy from Kentucky
Hello guys,
I just picked up a 2wd 95 PSD (5-speed) to tow my 93 Lightning race-truck to/from the track. This is the first diesel I've ever had. It has 189k and bought it off Ebay for $2900. Truck seems to be in fair shape. Couple of little odds & ends that need addressing, but nothing major. Needs tires, new windshield & clutch pedal bushing. Do you think I got a good deal,....or did I get hosed? I bought this truck to replace my (my wife's actually) 03 F-150 supercharged Harley. I was towing around 6500lbs (not including full gear in the bed), and it was stressing it quite a bit,......not to mention only getting 9-10mpg while in tow. Also,....I'm looking at buying an enclosed trailer sometime in the future and I knew that my F-150 simply wouldn't be up to the task. Weight of trailer w/ vehicle & gear inside will be around 9k. Any suggestions,......... ?

Welcome aboard, that is a fair price. I would however do a complete fluid/filter change and get your coolant tested once you replace it. You can but a product from ford to help keep the coolant acidity (sp) down to keep from eating through the cylinder walls.
That 7.3 will last a lot longer than 186K, I have a 95 with 268K on the clock and she is still strong.

Welcome to the Forum!
If it's running at all, you didn't get hurt on price.

To POWERSTROKE.ORG Sounds like a decent price. Change the fluids, and fix the little things that need fixing, and I am sure you will keep it for a while. Great to have ya and congrats on the new rig.
