Ok this time it’s for real. I tried to convince myself to sell her back in 2019, but couldn’t let her go. Since then She has got even better with age. I have done a lot of preventative maintenance and small modifications to make her better each year she grows older.
As described in my previous attempt to part ways with her. She was our family river runner for a few years, but since we sold the Havasu house and boat we havent been using it much. It is very clean with about 156,000 miles on the clock. She runs and shifts perfectly. Engine is the best Powerstroke ever produced. The 7.3L turbo diesel is basically stock. This year i spent a lot of time replacing older parts as a preventative measure to guarantee reliability. We started off by replacing the turbo up pipes. We chose the RIFF RAFF stainless steel pipes. We also added the RIFF RAFF turbo impeller, and Turbosmart wastegate actuator. We finished it off by changing all the vacuum lines in relation to the turbo. Then to ensure there were no leaks on the top of the engine we replaced the hard fuel lines with the RIFF RAFF stainless steel lines. We also installed the RIFF RAFF crossover to prevent the common fuel starvation issues associated with the 7.3L powerstroke #8 injector. To finish the job off we replaced the old high pressure oil pump lines with a set of fresh international harvester stainless braided lines. Simply because of the age we moved to the rear of the truck and dropped the fuel tank. We replaced the 2 filter cartridges that are known to steal fuel pressure. Off course OEM Motorcraft parts were used. We also replaced the rubber hose and filter at the bottom of the fuel pick-up/sending unit.
The transmission is very healthy and has been serviced every 15,000 miles. The transcooler was upgraded to the Mishimoto 6.0 oversized unit.
Interior is all original except Kenwood DVD/Navigation W/ back up camera.
The suspension system has been upgraded to a 2" custom lift. Parts from Carli suspension, PMF Fabrication, and ICON were used. Atlas front and rear spring packs. She sits on 17" method NVs and BFG KO2 35" tires. She also has a full KO2 spare mounted to a Method NV which sits the in the factory trunk position. A Red head steering box was added as well as dynatrac billet ball joints. Brake pads are upgraded and all rotors were upgraded to SSBC slotted. Finished off with a stainless steel brake line kit.
The bad. She has typical 2000s ford paint. only problem area is two of the door jambs which was touched up by me.
The roof was professionally repainted this year, and a 2005 grill was also painted and installed.
She tracks straight and rides very smooth compared to most solid axle leaf sprung trucks. The asking price is 35,000 or best offer. All serious offers will be considered.
Please, serious buyers only.
SIDE NOTE: The Thule Racks Are included but the ROAM awning is NOT.
