    Wouldn't the ECM have the total miles on the truck still, or are they completely wiped for an OH? Assuming of course that this is still the original engine.

    As long as the ECM is original , the mileage is in there. Hated the look of the FLD with out the cab extenders .

    Ecm. Doh.

    And the extenders only stayed on if the driver was any good. A good jack eliminates those things. I see it has a headache rack it seems. It's a little unusual to have a condo that big for work that small.

    One way to tell from my experience, and thats to call them and start asking questions. If they dance around and dont give direct answers, its a good chance they're being shady.

    Not horrible - I'd like papers on the overhaul, and offer $15k after a good picky hands on inspection.

    Not my cup of tea, but may have been taken care of.

    it doesn't natter if the ecm has the correct mileage, it is suspect and shouldn't be taken as accurate.

    To the OP, why look for this junk?

    If you plan on hauling loads of long pipe that stretched catwalk will allow front overhang. That can get you loads that a standard set up either can't haul or would require a permit. That's the only reason I would consider a stretch frame.

    Probly wouldn't be so ugly if it was a flat top. A decent 10-15k truck. I personally like a longer wheelbase.
