7.3l Powerstroke guys I have a question.

[Mudman]

I got 16mpg and 18-19 on freeway with my 01 auto.  My 05 cummins averages 18-20mpg and 23 freeway.  21avg and 25 hwy if you believe computer reading.

The price at the dealer is negotiable, I know there is flex room in there for them to cut a little off the sticker. As far as trucks on the boards here, I would like a lower mileage truck for sure but I don't have the 12k cash to get one or the ability to get get a loan for one not through a dealer sadly. When I got the truck I'm driving now I had no credit no down payment and no trade in so I got stuck with an interest rate suited for a credit card not a truck loan. Building better credit is a factor in financing this truck

I agree,12K is to much,I bought mine(a 97 crew 350) with 110k for 15 k,Ive done the ball joints and a tranny(it puked at 237k) and the vacuum pump and alternator bracket and water pump,it's got 250k on it now.The service manager at the dealership told me I was nuts for looking at a newer truck as the 7.3 is the best they've made.

Without even seeing the one your looking at and going off your description,it's at best a 8000 dollar truck,You know for a fact they gave the guy a 4000 dollar trade in.

There is a 1995, 5 speed dodge cummins in the classifieds for $7000, with 187k miles, might be a much better deal than the ford with more miles.
