New Tow Rig


It's an 97 f-250 7.3 powerstroke. Got it for 2600. What do you guys think ?

Sounds like a good deal. The 7.3 PS is a good motor. I'd get rid of the hood scoop and push bar, but that's no big deal. Auto or Manual? How's the front end? Make sure you get some good tires on there for towing. Load range E probably. What are you towing?

looks good especially for $2600. 7.3 good engine the 6.0l pice of **** ! check your upper & lower ball joints, they are a common problem. also should change out fuel filter right away if hasn't been changed. not keeping up on the filter will b costly in the long run cause it will cause injectors to fail. good luck and nice buy!

I would take the scoops off but they're screwed to the hood and i don't want 30 holes in the hood.

Totally missed you man. He said you have a 7.3 powerstroke too right? I'm debating on doing a chip/programmer to it right now. I might run a straight pipe on it and a intake to free up some hp. Do you know of any good forums for info ?
