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

I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
