Found my dream truck but have a few questions

I would think $47,500 is top dollar for it. But it is your call. Don't walk away from your dream because of price.

Which reminds me.......anyone ever been to the Mustang Ranch?

 

Nobody can tell when Wooly Rhino is being sarcastic!

 

Well a plus is that it has the Flex Air rather than the Low Air leaf. One thing for sure is that those C-15's REALLY do not like to be ran hot. I would get someone to pull files from the ecm and make sure that the temp light has not been on etc. They are really notorious for cracking heads. Great running engines but temp sensitive. The rears wouldn't cost you that much to replace if you in fact had to replace them. Don't let that be a deal breaker. I would suggest pulling the fuse door off (lower left right beside the clutch pedal) and take a relay or two out and see if there is any green on the connections. When windshields are put in Petes and aren't sealed correctly it lets water in and it heads right to the fuse box. Price wise I personally don't think they are way off base. The 6nz's used without any real paperwork sell for 16k so that gives you some idea.

 

sounds like u have made up u'er mind, good luck.

 

We've had a 2001 6NZ since 2002 and FWIW, I agree with you that they are possibly the most reliable engine out there.

As for the price....that's a tough call. I just paid $30,000 for a 1986 359 and I thought I paid way too much. But I have been looking for a nice one for 3-4 years and it finally showed itself. Now I see comparable 359's in the Truck Paper are being offered at $45,000 - $50,000 so I don't feel so bad LOL.

One thing is for sure $62,000 is not over priced when you compare it to a new one at $150,000+. And the one you are looking at is more reliable. The people that say it's too much are looking at the truck as a tool and I think you are assigning value to some other features. Nothing wring with that as long as the cash flow works.

 

That's too much, sold a 01 pete with the table that became a bed 800k with inframe done at 600k with 625 c16 and 3.55 and 18 speed with a 10k stacks and many extras for $55k. It was sold to a cash buyer. Be patient. Sold it because fuel mileage never went up 5.8. I can Pm you pics.
Be patient and you can find a deal. But dream trucks will cost a pretty penny and i just bought a t660 studio sleeper and it best for me it has looks, comfort and MPG are way up. Dont give up on what you want, Can get hired Buy a Flatbed and you can lease up with me lol. Good luck on your buy.

 

That's kind of funny actually
