Message: [QUOTE="Oconco68, post: 1564310, member: 38299"] Hello everyone, new to this so if I am not where I am suppose to be posting, please guide me. There is an interesting story behind it, in short I bought a garage kept, one owner, 2008 F-250 6.4 King Ranch 135,000 miles for $500. I did A/C, fuel systems and diagnostics for high line company fleets, for 7.3, 6.0 and 6.4 trucks and my friend had a new 2010 6.4 that ending in catastrophic then law suit and spent a lot of time on my computer. (Truck idled all day and barely exceeded 45 mph and never made it past warranty, DPF was not made for his driving habits at all). So I am familiar with the motor it has. After all the family drama over the truck, their decision was to just get the truck off the property. Reason is that it had oil in the coolant. All mechanical advice from friends and local mechanics was, engines gone, even though it still ran beautiful. It landed in my court and after seeing the trucks condition what the hell for $500. Well it was the oil cooler. It had a EGR and a DPF delete done to it, but it is not running on a tuner and has engine light of course. I have been driving around town and tested 4WD off-road on a hunting lease and it is just in my opinion worth keeping. It is parked for now, will be back home in October and will be evaluating the situation. Looking at about $10,000 in BPD, Mishimoto and some other improvements including Choate oil feed valve covers. It will be in the family for years, I do not sell what is paid for and works well. This truck will pull a 20,000 lbs boat in and out of a boat launch. Sounds easy but it take 4WD and everything any diesel has to offer. No lifted truck will do it for a season, I promise! Just looking for advice and opinions on anything with this truck about improvements to engine and/or transmission. Thank you and looking forward to hearing from Y’all [/QUOTE]
