i did it

[DBogo]

i bought a powerstroke tonight im picking it up tuesday its a 95 F350 4x4 srw its got 165k on the clock i know its not a cummins but its the next best thing

 

[DBogo]

its black with a utility box on it i got a headache rack and a aluminum diamond plate crossover toolbox for when i get a bed for it in the deal too

 

[TWilkening]

I'm Sorry :-laf j/k

 

[klenger]

Confession is good for the soul.

 

[dodge cummins]

get ready for some real problems. the next best thing for that particular year was a gasser not a powerchoke.

 

[DBogo]

the motor has 65k on it at the most and is a international remanufactured motor i had my friends dad that is a diesel mechanic for a living check it out and he said that it looks great

 

[dodge cummins]

WELL IF ITS BEEN REMANUFACTERED BY international than thats a whole different story. when ford gets their hands on that motor its reliability rating goes down the toilet. good luck and congratulations on your new rig. when you get it make sure you give it the go over. change oil, change transmission fluid,change fluid in both diffs and also transfer case. oh yea fuel filters also. some powerstrokes come with a primary and secondary fuel filters. my 99 did

 

[DBogo]

only the superdutys have 2 the origional pstrokes dont and yes it it a international reman motor the dealer im buying it from does mostly diesels he is changing the oil and fuel filter before it gets in my hands i cant wait till tuesday

One would think :--)

 

[CATCRACKER]

i dont think the 95 powerstroke was very good not to burst your bubble. but when that engine craps out which i hope it does not swap in a 12v

He must be SOME mechanic- He'l be seeing alot of that truck :-laf

 

[DBogo]

the engine was remanufactured to 97 specs not 95 specs so all the problems should be solved

 

[DBogo]

he is some mechanic he has been working on diesels big and small for about 30 years he has seen em all and worked on them all so i think he knows his **** hes been in the diesel game for quite some time now :-{}

 

[master1578]

I'm not trying to pile on here but.....

We had 2 where I work. Both seemed to have the same problems:

1) Ate up starters pretty quick

2) Alternators didn't last long either

3) Clutch and Trans problems. Both were 5spd (Not sure this applies to you)



I guess 2 trucks are not a significant test group but they both had recurring problems of a similar nature. We finally gave up on them when they got around 230k miles.

Congrats on the truck, I hope you have better luck than we did.

Well what do you expect DBogo? You're a member on a Dodge/Cummins site for 6 months and then you go off and buy a powerjoke. A certain amount of heckling should be expected and frankly, is deserved!

 

[DBogo]

i knew there would be heckling at least i didnt get a gasser my uncle has had load of pstrokes and he beats em and they last so i figured the price was right so why not

 

[HeavyHauler]

I hear you - hey, anyone running #2 is a friend of mine. But that still doesn't take care of the bias. :-laf Good luck with it.

 

[DBogo]

i knew i would need to get a flame suit on when i broke the news to you guys and no im not goin to get the short man syndrome - short guys usually with big moustaches buy huge fords just too feel cool



no i need this truck for plowing and construction work and also to have fun but thanks alot guys
