Two weeks ago a guy that i work with bought this truck......

he drove it home and put about 600 miles on it when he noticed that there was a ton of fuel in the coolant(coolant was CLEAN when he bought it). The cold starts were also horrific! he got in touch with the seller and they said bring it back(guy at work lives near Detroit, the seller is down near Chicago). So he drove it back down there and took it to a Ford dealer and had their diesel mechanic run a bunch of tests on the truck. tomorrow i will have the entire list that the ford tech gave my friend but some of the stuff that needed replacing was every part in the cooling system, all eight injectors, FICM, both heads, oil cooler, egr cooler. the final quote for repairs was over $10,000! The seller said they were gonna make it right(in a way they did). when the seller saw the quote from the Ford dealer they said, "let me have one of my mechanics take a look at it". My friend laughed in their face. In the end he got most of his money back and the seller took the truck back. the link that i posted above is newly listed since my friend got rid of it. originally they had it listed for $15,999 and now it is listed for $16,999
All i am trying to say here is that you should not deal with this dealer and this truck would most likely be a money pit. The ONLY way this truck would be worth it is if you got the truck for well under $10K, which WILL NOT happen. Also this is to get the word out about the seller. sucks about the truck but it can be fixed, the dealer is a giant turd. This is not the first time things like this have happened with this dealer. the car lot name checks out good on google search but the owner of the places name yeilds ugly results on the internet.
SPREAD THE WORD!!!
