Welcome to the site! Since it's a 2003, it could be a 7.3 or a 6.0. Do you know which engine is in it? Congrats on the new-to-you purchase! We will be here to help out with any questions you might have in the rebuild process.

Hey guys. I threw up some pictures in a gallery. She's got the 6.0l. A couple cosmetic dings and dents. The guy i bought it from was the original owner and he put 159k on it so not too bad. He told me it was having injector trouble when he parked it 2 months ago. From what he described and what i have read so far maybe the FICM so i am getting the batteries fully charged and will try to figure out how to do the FICM voltage check. Also hopefully i can find something to read codes.

Yep definitely a good price for the condition. Just hoping it will be some relatively simple fixes for the engine. I know these trucks can get expensive quickly. However even if i have to spend a few grand on it i figure i will still be ahead and have a truck with all the reliability issues already taken care of. Oh it also has the FX4 package.

I'm hoping it's something quick and easy. Here's a way to check FICM voltage with just a multimeter. Best of luck.

No problem. BTW, your avatar pic is the way most of our trucks live their lives; with their hoods in the air!
