1999 Ford F350 7.3L Diesel, 4X4, Crew cab, low miles

If you are reading this then you probably already know about the legendary 7. 3L Powerstroke turbo diesel. This is considered by almost everybody to be the best diesel engine ever put in a Ford truck. The last Ford truck to have this motor was the 2001 model year and there has not been a diesel engine in a Ford anywhere near as good since then. Stories of these engines running well over 500K miles are fairly common. I have owned this truck for about 8 years. when I bought it it had 99K miles and now has 159K it had been pampered by the previous owner and by me. I have serviced it regularly since then and taken good care of it. I swore I would never sell it but I just don't need it or use it much anymore and I don't want to let it set unused. This is the first really nice truck I have ever owned and I have treated it like my baby. I had a NEW unused take off bed put on it about 3 years ago because the old one was damaged when a car on a trailer shifted forward on the trailer into the bed. The frame was NOT damaged and it never even put a scratch on the bumper. At that time I had the hood painted because some clearcoat was peeling off it. Since then a little clearcoat has flaked off the top of the fenders and the roof. It is minor and would be cheap to fix and is not very noticeable as it is. A few years ago I had locking hubs installed and got rid of the problematic vacuum actuated hubs. The front end was rebuilt about 5 years ago with all new parts. The AT tires were new last summer and probably only have about 3K miles on them and are almost like new. I had the frame undercoated under the bed when they replaced the bed but I can't say I am very happy about the way it has held up. The frame is very solid and has some light SURFACE rust on it. The interior is nearly perfect and all the options work as they should. There is a 4 stage "Bully Dog" chip and gauges for exhaust temp and turbo boost. This truck tows like there is nothing behind you. There is a trailer brake controller and trailer electrical hookup. This truck is equipped with a heavy duty tag along trailer hitch and also has e very expensive aftermarket gooseneck hitch in the bed that can be turned around to leave a flat bed floor for hauling. There is a "Bully Dog" 4 stage chip and exhaust temperature and turbo boost gauge. This F350 has never been raced or abused to my knowledge. definatly not by me. There are only a few MINOR issues. the overdrive off switch on the end of the column shifter is not working right now. I had a new one put on it a few years ago and recently it stopped working. this is a very cheap fix. I think it was les than $50 when I replaced it before. The cover for the drivers mirror is missing. the power mirror functions fine and it is only cosmetic and not expensive to fix. There is a burn hole in the back seat that is in the pics. it was there when I bought the truck. The fuel gauge is not totally accurate. it works but not very trustworthy. I just fill it up and reset the trip odometer then fill it up when it hits about 400 miles. This truck has NEVER let me down and is very mechanicly sound. I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere. A few weeks ago I drove it about 6 hours to pick up a van with my trailer and it performed flawlessly. The mileage may change very little by the end of this auction but not by much.
