    What if it was signed on as leased? Who do you think would be the right person to talk to?

    Just FYI, 2003 was the worst year for the 6.0, many people went out of business running these.

    You don't need anything as far as regulatory things go. Hammer down.

    Maybe he lucked out and got one of the early 03s with the 7.3 before the transition

    If that's the case, he'll blow the transmission instead of the motor.

    The 6.0L, with appropriate aftermarket work, is a great engine. The value of these trucks is starting to rise after so many got written off for all the problems they encountered. EGR delete, oil cooler and studs are the only way to go...and leave the tuners at home, locked up and keys thrown in the garbage.

    I have some questions as well. I am a new car manager at a local high line dealership and bought a 2011 F-350 duelly to haul the cars we dealer trade. I called progressive. They told me I'd be roughly $6,000 for a year of insurance on 1 million. I'm looking at a double car carrier vs. a 3 car to try and keep my weight below the 26,001 lb limit. Any suggestions from veteran guys that would be willing to help me out. Mistakes you made that I should watch for? The truck only has 58,000 miles and I bought a comprehensive warranty that will go to 148,000 miles. I'm ready to ship just want some wise advice if you have any!
