Jeeper's 2006 6.0 F350

Even if you made $1K flipping it and not touching it, last time I checked, a $1K is still $1K more than you had before.

You guys did see that option 4 included a divorce, right??

Hey, nobody said this would be easy.

If it helps you make your decision, I'll buy it from you for what you paid for it if/when you change your mind. Seriously.

I'm just selective about who I buy from.

Well, I picked it up. My son was dying to run the winch, so he loaded the entire truck by himself. That was pretty fun.

Got her home.

It does have some damage to the bed. I estimate about $1,000 to have this fixed. I can get a new CM flatbed for it for $1500 though.. so that may be the route I go.


It has a tonneau cover that is for sale if anyone is interested..

that could be a sweet truck

Yes it could. In fact, if you go the route of de-6.0-ing it, I could be interested in the finished product. With a repaired/replaced bed though, I don't want a flatbed. Thanks!

If you are serious at all, we need to talk.

Tan or grey interior?

Tan leather.


I put a battery in it tonight. Battery was nearly dead, but it allowed me to roll down windows and see things function. The best part was when the odometer said 89,000 miles

That would be a BAD ASS truck with a Common Rail

Broken anything is worth nothing. Worth nothing because it is broken. Now, the parts of a broken rig are worth something provided you can find someone willing to pay. That sounded a little like Confucius.

I don't care for Ford trucks anyways but, a 2005 stroker can be made into a good truck if you are willing to spend money on it. I don't think I would pay much more than what the truck is worth for scrap. Basically only pay for a deal you can't pass up. The new motor is only the beginning. Then there are the accessories, belts, hoses, and all the nicole and dime parts that will seriously eat into any budget you set.

That's why I wouldn't pay much more than scrap prices. Take my thoughts with a grain of salt because I don't really like Ford trucks anyways.

Well, I had some time to play with the truck tonight. Time for issue #1: The truck has a VERY slow crank. I am using 2 batteries from other vehicles. They are the same batteries used in my 7.3 IDI.. I assume that they are rated for the 6.0 also, but if not I guess NEW batteries are in order. Here is a video of the slow crank. You have to listen closely.

I tightened the battery clamps, and got it to turn over a but better, but it is still slooooow.

 

[sawtooth4x4]

Call me. I'll help you with it. I have a lot of experience fixing mine all up. Runs pretty good now.

I decided to find or a new starter, but when I crawled under to pull it off I was met by what appears to be a brand new starter already.



Intealize its its a brand new, 5 year old starter, but it's new none the less. I'll still pull it and have it tested I guess.

 

[bryson]

Diesels are very finicky about having enough voltage/current to start - If the starter is good it sounds like maybe you're not getting enough current to it to turn the engine over fast enough to start. I'd double and triple check all the connections (pos. AND neg.) to make sure they're clean and tight, and also check the condition of the cables themselves. It's not uncommon for cables to corrode inside the insulation (and look 100% fine from the outside.)

P.S. I'm jealous of this project.
