I took this F250 in trade on a truck I was selling, then bought a Bronco. Decided not to try a PowerStroke swap so this truck's gotta go ASAP.
This is a very rough 99 F-250 Lariat 2WD with the Super or extended cab and short bed. I had the VIN run and apparently it shipped from the factory with the camper prep package and many other options. However, that was a long time ago.
The PowerStroke 7.3L turbo diesel engine starts quickly even in cold weather and seems to run well despite some diesel and oil leaks as well as a coolant leak apparently from a failed freeze plug. Likewise the transmission seems to be in working order, as I drove it 20 miles to its current location with no problems I could see other than it leaks from the transmission's front seal when the truck is driven or parked nose down on a hill. Brakes and shocks seem to have been replaced recently; the guy I got it from said he'd recently replaced the starter and a few other things. Youtube videos of the actual truck starting and running are available upon request. Or you can come see and hear the truck run and drive around a parking lot yourself by appointment. The PowerStroke runs well, pulls strongly and there's no signs of blowby or significant smoke that I can tell.
The truck interior is very rough, someone has replaced the front 40/20/40 seat with a bench from a base model, the overhead console and radio are missing, the headliner is gone, and basically the entire truck looks like it was ridden hard and put away wet numerous times. The exterior is also similarly in not the greatest condition - there are small dents and scratches on most panels. The air conditioning and heater worked when I tried them as did the power windows; the power locks seem to have failed. The tires need to be replaced. I am not sure if the just under 205,000 miles on the odometer is correct or not; I got it this way and there's no real way for me to tell.
Basically this is a project or parts truck and not immediately suitable for driving or commuting until several fixes are made. I am not going to fix it myself because I have no time to do so nor would I have any interest in the vehicle afterwards were it repaired. No, I will not part it out - truck must leave as a whole. Consider it as an PowerStroke engine and 4R100 transmission that comes with its own delivery system!
I do have a signed clear title in my hand for this truck. Not interested in trades for other vehicles - have too many as it is. Looking for cash only - will entertain all reasonable offers. Will not ship the vehicle. Asking $2500 or best offer - I really would like this truck to go away soonest and cash talks.
