Washed my bed out and saw water leaking near the cab and investigated it. Found rust like a lot. For some reason my bed has random rot right through it. Also the cross member that the exhasut hangs on is shot and the shackles are...eeekkk. Any ways i went to get a inspection sticker and failed Emission and that I need the Catalytic Converter Y pipe ($1250 @ cost) ball joints have a little play too. So I'm fixing this and I've been really looking for new full sizes.





trying out a patching plan

damn dude...how many miles are on the truck?

 

my truck has 165,400

i have a $1000 hold on this baby
Seekonk, MA 02771 2005 Ford F-250 Used Super Cab Tasca Automotive Group, Seekonk

 

That rust is typical on trucks that have been bed-lined improperly.
If you don't leave the slots for the water to drain out, you get rust like that. Plus it'll be on the side between bed and cab too. I've never seen a ranger without rust there.


coming soon:
Dave selling his truck. Again.

 

when i got my rhino liner in my ranger they drilled 2 small drainage holes in the front of my bed to help avoid that issue


dude dont get the 5.4 in a 250...truck is too heavy for the motor IMO

 

Well it's more of a new investment. I dont feel like shelling out 2g when the trucks worth 4g. I have a G note down on a hold so...

 

Man you have bad luck with this truck dude.

 

A lot of miles on that 250.

 

will someone just put a stick of tnt in the cab for dave please?

 

i got the catted y-pipe from summit for $350ish you may look in to that.

 

I guess you won't be trading your bed after all

 

hahaha

 

I've driven it didnt seem under powered.

OEM only man.

Hell no not now

 

OEM really??? Like it would really matter on your truck. 5.4s in the superdutys are ok, until you want to pull a load or go fast.

 

that ranger is cursed. run far, far away from it.

 

I'm not suprised at all based off of how the Ranger has been treated/neglected in the past. Its time to move onto the next truck that you will destroy LOL.

 

I would stay away from the 5.4 in the 250 but do as you please. Its your money.

 

It's not gonna matter what Dave buys, it will end poorly

 

I removed the hold my father found a cleaner truck that i'll be looking at tomorrow. I've had my play days. What ever I get will be kept remotely stock, the quad and bike are for bashing.

That one is overpriced too. 150,000 miles on an 04 I wouldn't pay more then $5,000 for it.

 

yes I know, I plan on talking down and or if they law ball my trade I'll try and up talk the trade. I'm doing this on my own and it's my first time. so

 

that sucks about the bed

 

Adam they have a few my parents give them a lot of business so if you look on their site throw up some links i have a budget of 15k

 

This is like an 04 version of downeys truck. You're a moron.

 

I hate the look of those old style F150s
