Ok, thanks again. The distilled water will be the stuff you can get at grocery stores? Also when I'm flushing the system is it ok to use tap water then? And where can I get some SCA treatment and test strips and how much SCA treatment will I need?

Thanks for the info guys!! I changed the oil with Castrol 15w-40 and it took 15 quarts. my next oil change will be with mobil 1 delvac 15w-40HD because I can get it from a buddy who gets a deal from them. As for the coolant I will be flushing the system. draining the rad, filling it back...

Im gonna pass on this truck there are just to many red flags when i carfaxed it. Like when the owner said that it has only had 1 owner but the carfax says it has had 4. Its just to risky in my mind espically with 230k miles

so this sounds like a common thing then?

I went and looked at an 2003 dodge 2500 diesel 4x4 and it was a great truck but when I looked at the title something threw me off. Under the fuel type column of the title it stated "gasoline". We check the VIN and they matched with the title and truck. Is this normal with light duty diesel...

Damn, well never mind then Thanks for the responses.

Wow thats interisting, it still works for me. Well anyway here is the ad without pictures The seller emailed me and said it has 260k miles, a 4in. flowmax exhaust and the bench seats have seen better days. 93 Ford F350 4X4 - $4500 (Fredrickson)...

I found another truck on craigslist(1993, crew cab, f-350 4x4) and I emailed the owner and he said that it has about 260k miles on it and a stock turbo and flowmaster 4in exhaust adn its a manual trans. Is 260k miles a lot? how long do these things last? Oh and they guy is asking $4500

How are they for towing a wheeler and a camper around? Are they just dogs or can they hold there own? How are they compared to a 460 gasser?

I was searching over on craigslist and came across a 1994 ford f-350 crew cab with the international diesel motor. How are these motors? Do they last as long as the powerstrokes? How are they power and reliability? The truck has a turbo and has around 180,000 miles and a rebuilt auto.

Cool. Thanks for the info and advise!!!

Thanks for the advise haha But I guess what im trying to find out is what truck is the best overall stock platform? I know that it is gonna have high miles just because of the price range Im in and Im not gonna build it up I just want something to dd and tow with. Im not gonna go to the...

So the only problems with these motors is the dowel pin? Is the 12valve better than the 24valve for reliability and longevity?
