    Should I trade?

    When I was doing some research on it that was the number one complaint on it that I read as well.

    Should I trade?

    I ended up passing on the truck. It was a lot rougher than I expected and feel like it was worth quite a bit less than my 2010. As mentioned above I have my 2010 sold and found a f250 with the 6.2 that I’m going to be picking up tomorrow.

    Should I trade?

    For a 2010 and almost 200k miles it’s still in great shape and i love driving it, I just want something more capable chassis wise. Also wanting to get out of it before it starts needing major repairs due to the mileage and age. And as far as saving up for a newer truck in 30-40k range that’s not...

    Should I trade?

    I actually listed the truck for sale and already had someone that came and looked at it and is coming back Wednesday to buy it. Kbb values it around $9,000 in my area and there giving me $12,500 for it so I think now is definitely the time to sell it considering the market is way up right now vs...

    Rust 2013 - Fix or Trade?

    Any type of fender flare will trap debris and promote rust. If they go up high enough they will also rub against the metal and rub through the paint causing discoloration which creates another cosmetic issue should you decide to take them back off.

    Rust 2013 - Fix or Trade?

    Does that small spot really bother you enough to pay $5000? If the rest of the truck is solid and still runs/drives like it should I wouldn’t even worry about a spot that small. If your that set on fixing it you could sand it down and put por15 over it then a topcoat, not going to be perfect and...

    Should I trade?

    Well went and checked out the truck today and I don’t think it’s going to work out. Not as clean rust wise as I was expecting although still better than most around here I guess. Took it for a drive and it’s completely gutless with the 35s on and 3:55 gearing, my 4cyl ranger is quicker. The...

    Should I trade?

    Alright so I got the vin number and used a decoder and it looks like it has 3:54 gearing so not ideal for what I’m wanting. I’m hoping since it looks to have had some work done to it that it’s been re-geared at some point but I won’t know until I drive it. I also didn’t find anything on the...

    Should I trade?

    What’s a general price to have one rebuilt? If I do end up trading I’ll definitely put on a external cooler, and I normally change my trans fluid every 20-30k miles so hopfully that should extend the life of it. I’ve put about 25k miles on my 2010 in the last year alone so I just dont want to...

    Should I trade?

    Given it has pretty low miles, how much life can I expect out of it? I don’t drive very easy but so far the 545rfe in my 2010 has held up great so can I expect about the same on the 01?

    P0014 p0016 and p000B trouble codes

    Replaced the vvt solenoid today and the truck runs great again with no codes. Was alot easier than I expected and only took about 2 hours.

    S So you think the 5.9 would still handle towing fine? I looked up the specs on it and it’s quite a bit lower on hp and tq than the hemi in my truck but it looks like peak torque comes alot lower on the 5.9

    Should I trade?

    So based on your opinion you think the 2500 is worth more? I’m not sure what that year truck is worth so just don’t want to trade down any.

    Should I trade?

    I’m not sure on the axle ratio, I’ll definitely check that if/when we meet. Is has an automatic and from what I’ve read there was only one auto option for this generation? As long as the 5.9 has enough power to tow upwards of 5000lbs comfortably then I’m not concerned about much else drivetrain...
