Sold - 99 F450 4x4 with Southco Box $6,200

I'm putting it on the buzz first. I bought a new (to me) Freightliner in prep for all the ash tree removals around here. I'd love to keep it but I don't have room. It has around 114,00 miles and is pretty clean. There's a dent in one of the fenders but the truck shows well and is presentable. Tires are like new. It's not perfect but it's a lot of truck for what I'm asking.

Tom what motor does it have? And is it 4x4? Very interested thanks

tc262 · Oct 10, 2015

V10, can't believe I left that out. And yes it's 4 wheel drive.

That is a good deal!

Any mechanical issues? Would it make it back to the twin cities?

tc262 · Oct 10, 2015

It has a slight miss. I'm 90 percent sure one of the coil packs are bad. Just haven't had time to diagnose it yet.
On Friday I noticed I left a wet spot on a customers driveway. Fuel tank had a tiny pin hole leak behind where an Id tag was. Must have held salt behind it and caused a small spot of corrosion, the rest of the tank is very solid. I patched it today with some repair putty. Should be fine once it sets up.

I wouldn't hesitate to take it anywhere.

Is it an automatic?

I had a 2001, and later a 2005 Excursion, both with V10 engines. The service schedule called for replacing the plugs and COPs (Coil On Plug) at 100K, and that was pretty much the extent of its 100k mile tune-up. OTOH, it was roughly a $1,000 service. Still, this F450 sounds like a good deal.

Yes it's an auto. Bare bones, no ac, no radio.

A set of 8 coils is $250 at Oreillys, just need two extras to replace them all. I was planning on doing them just haven't had time. http://m.oreillyauto.com/mt/www.ore...=Search_C2377_1354687_3276&pt=C2377&ppt=C0334

And all 10 plugs and coils are all fairly easy to get to.

tc262 · Oct 12, 2015

Took a couple quick pics today. It's not been cleaned up, as I'm still using it. Need to build a box on the new truck.

A few guys from quite a long ways away have shown intrest in this truck. If someone from far away is serious about buying this truck I can do an in depth walk around video pointing out all of the known flaws. I have absolutely nothing to hide on this thing as I feel someone will be getting a good deal on it. I plugged in from my place to Charlotte, NC on uship.com and they estimated shipping at under a thousand bucks.

Aww damn I'd love to grab this! I think it's about the perfect size, and price! It should go fast for you.. The COP's aren't that big of a deal, but do spend the extra $ on lifetime warrenty ones. Just went through this on my V8, but included the intake manifold. Sometimes there is a slight water leak which drips down the sparkplug holes and fries the COP's
