I have never had much luck with Ford products, but am considering one now.
I did have a 95 Powerstroke for about a year, bought it with just under 200K on it. The (automatic) transmission went out within 6 months, it had fried the electronics inside of it.
It was a 250 4x4. Spent over 3K on a "new" tranny at a local shop, took 6 weeks and 4 rebuilt trans from their supplier before one held together longer than a week.
It had the same camber issue as you see on a lot of the Ford 4x4's. Sold it at a loss and said I would never own another.
BUT, I have found a F350 with a snowplow on it in Macomb, IL on eBay. It is a 99, so has an intercooler, and better injectors to my understanding. With it being a F350, I assume the suspension might be enough heavier to somewhat resolve the front suspension issues. I am going over to drive it tomorrow, Oct 31.
It has WAY more miles than I like to see, the listing says 277,369.
The pictures look great, one of my friends has driven past the lot and said it looks like new from the road. I am VERY worried about the miles, I was told that around 200K the injectors need attention.
My credit union has OK'd the loan if I want it.
To see the pictures, eBay listing 180578703726. Thanks, DOUG

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
