New to me F-250 SD
 

Ok, I have been just looking at the possibility of getting a 1999-2002 F-250 Super Duty 4X4 and had some questions. I know that Diesel engines last a long time but how many miles should I stay under? This truck would become my DD and I would get rid of the F150. Also upon needing a rebuild about how much would I be looking at spending? Any insight into the diesel world would be appreciated.

I think Jeff had 300k on one with no issues. It still didn't burn any oil.

Adam is getting a real truck Yeah we could plan some Off Road adventures the only thing I know about the Fords is they have notoriously bad transmissions which can be rebuilt for 1800 to 2200 other than that your good.

I think you should get a stick Adam, then you wouldn't have to worry about the tranny so much. With as much torque as those trucks have, a stick would be VERY easy to drive.

I've seen up to 200,000 miles with out issue.

I would trust the motor for 300,000 miles or more, However i wouldn't trust the rest of the truck past 100,000 :P

I really do not want a stick for both of my vehicles. It may be nice but if I blow a tranny then I have an excuse to build it bigger!:thumbs_up: Also if I remember correctly Ryan said the clutch in that hing is pretty stiff, any I remembering right?

Get a stick 2WD std cab short bed lower it and make it a drag diesel. :judge:

I wouldn't want a stick for offroad use. TC were made to slip, clutches burn to slip.

Already got the drag vehicle. Looking for the go anywhere vehicle. :bigthumbsup:
