This is my personal truck and it's nearly done, bought it as a project and had fun building it. The previous owner replaced glow plugs/harness and had radiator flushed right before I bough it and he told me the transmission was rebuilt at 183K. I am currently running this with a 4" straight exhaust (no cat), reather exiting through exhaust and it isn't obnoxiously loud. There are a few dings and the paint shines good, he truck has no rust issues. The axles were bought from a parts truck that had been gone through about 10K miles before I installed them. It runs down the road 55 mph at 1600 rpm and just over 2,000 rpm at 65, he speedometer shows 4 mph low (61=65) without calibration (according to GPS). The truck has very little tire noise, o squeaks or rattles and runs smooth with the reverse shackle kit. I've put several hundred miles on it, o far it runs down the road at 600 degrees of EGT and 160 degrees of trans temp on a 95 degree day. This truck will set you back in the seat in the 100hp setting and appears to pull about 37 lbs. of boost at WOT on the +100 hp setting. I usually drive it in the +50 hp and it seems to perform well for everyday driving. It rides smoother with all the upgrades than it did with the stock suspension. I have 2000 SD power driver seat installed, t was working but for some reason it doesn't move right now and I haven't investigated. I have the original seat and I think it will mount to the track. included in the sale. I installed 2 new NAPA Premium batteries a few months ago, had already replaced all the cables so it starts like new. I will throw in all the extra parts I have for it, ncluding a CB radio. I just fell in love with the Raptor and have to have one so this on goes.

This was originally a farm truck, he 2nd owner got it in 2007 and then his son took it over in 2011. I bought it in 2012 and didn't have time to get to it until last year and when I went to register it I found out the state wanted over $2K to register it because of non registration penalties so I junked it on paper to wipe the fees. The history shows a salvage title but it's never been wrecked. I have pictures from the day I brought it home through the resto that will be included. I worked on it on and off in my free time, 've spent just a little over $11K in parts and just under $5K for the truck not to mention 80 + hours labor to get it this far. It needs a little bit more to finish the mechanicals, described it as accurately as I know the truck. I have a reserve amount in mind but it can change, id what you think it's worth or send me an offer and we could end the auction early if I accept.

Negatives:
The steering could use a double stabilizer, he steering is all new but with a 40 mph cross wind it wanders a bit. It needs the early 99 spyder and tubes to hook up the inter-cooler, ntercooler is installed and ready to go and I have all the adapters off the intercooler. The drivers side up pipe has a small leak at the manifold flange, replaced the doughnut gaskets and apparently got it crooked so when it got tightened it showed a leak so it needs to be addressed. I replaced every part of the brakes and it has a low pedal, 've read about this in the forums and I just think it wasn't bled out completely even though I did it 3 times. There are a few dings in the body, t wasn't a concern for me because it still looks good. The bed is dented a bit inside and the tailgate is dented a bit on the inside but opens and closes fine. The spray in bed liner is wearing thin, ould be resprayed. Driver seat power isn't working right now. Headlights haven't been adjusted yet, nly driven it twice at night myself.
