#1164 of 1181 2002 F250 by f_truck_dude Oct 07, 2009 (9:06 am)
I am new to the diesel world and I am looking at buying a 2002 F250 Lariat 4x4 7.3L with 280k miles for $9500. It is clean outside an has little repair on the leather. Can anyone tell me what to watch out for? Replies to this message: rocko8 (Oct 07, 2009 10:57 am) cowcutter (Oct 09, 2009 3:04 pm) BroncoBCC (Oct 09, 2009 3:12 pm) carpathia (Oct 25, 2009 6:32 pm)

Good luck. Stay away from the 6.0...trust me. Replies to this message: cowcutter (Oct 09, 2009 3:04 pm) BroncoBCC (Oct 09, 2009 3:12 pm)

We also have a Chevy Trailblazer (2002) and the entire dash went whacky. Chevy said that the problem started on 2003 models and they were offering to repair for a huge discount. Since I had an 02, they said Sorry, we cant help.

Replying to: cowcutter (Oct 09, 2009 3:01 pm) i had a 2004 F250 6.0, the EGR cooler was leaking. Bolton ford told me to bring it to them. It had 88,000 miles on it. They said it was still under the 100,000 mile warrenty. I drove it to them and they said it will be ready in 3 days. On the second day of them having it they called me and told me that it was not under warrenty due to the over 5 years old(barely). Itseemed like they would have told me that when i was on the phone with them. I had it in a local shop when i called them. Anyway that put me back another week. The point here is there has been alot of problems with the F250 6.0 EGR systems. Ford should do a recall on them. I had to bring it back to the local mechanic where he fixed it for 2800.00 along with changing the high pressure oil pump which i still don't know how it went out while not being driven. Ford has lost a customer for life along with Bolton ford of lake charles louisiana. I am now the proud owner of a 2007 GMC 4WD duramax...for life. i love it!!
#1170 of 1181 F-250 diesel, 1997, 4X4, towing/stopping by rotttlady Oct 20, 2009 (6:51 am)
Hi, I need some help ASAP... I have a 1997 F-250 diesel with the 7.3 liter engine, the "better" axle ratio (can't remember exactly what the ratio is), long bed, extended cab, 4X4. I am looking at a 4-horse gooseneck trailer with living quarters, need to know exactly how much weight my truck can haul -- but just as important, how much weight can my truck STOP reliably, without being scary or unsafe. The trailer is a good buy, so I need to know ASAP or it will be sold to someone else... Thanks a lot.
#1171 of 1181 2002 F250 Mirror problem by BroncoBCC Oct 20, 2009 (9:58 am)
Hello, My 2002 F250SD has the extending tow mirrors. I noticed that neither of them want to move 'up' when I use the adjustment switch. I have to roll down the window and manually move them up. When I push the switch up, the go to the right and click like a gear might be broken. Are they are to replace?
#1172 of 1181 Modern equivalent of 1990 7.3L Diesel + Overdrive by carpathia Oct 25, 2009 (6:13 pm)
What is it?   I love her, but my Old Lady Truck needs to be replaced. I want the same power, reliability and simplicity of her bad ass engine. I also like her nice overdrive option for 70 mph on the highway.   More specs: I think she's geared 3.73. She takes me around every day, but also hauls my two-horse aluminum bumper pull plus horses and all the fixin's just fine. The next one will have to do the same job.   Ideas? Recommendations? Warnings? Do I jump ship from Ford to, say, a Cummins? Blasphemy, I know.   Thanks!

Replying to: f_truck_dude (Oct 07, 2009 9:06 am) For better and for worse:   My 1990 7.3 L is great... but at 320K miles wants a new fuel injection pump. Otherwise, this truck is a mechanical rock. No leaks, no burning oil, no unhappy glow plugs, nuthin;. And this one has taken me everywhere day in, day out, plus hauled horses.
