    Not too bad of a truck if someone has a couple of parts trucks around. Or it will make a good parts truck. Good on you for being straight up with your customer and letting them know that it could end up being a money pit! Have a good one HR! 👍🏼 🙏🏼

      Yea I hated to see that truck not be repaired but it was not feasible to sink that kind of money into it. Thanks!

    Tuff to see a truck go to parts. This may be a little harsh. My $0.015 worth, it would be worth fixing the truck, if it was not for the rust.

      I agree. That’s also part of the reason the customer decided to not fix it

      @@hrdiesel Hit all the problems associated with trucks with EGR's and DEF, if the frame and cab are not rusted out, I say it is worth putting the $ into keeping a 7.3 on the road.

    Post it in classified with problems listed. Some young buck who knows how to wrench could get it going again for cheap. Junk yard front axle. And a few weekends of work.

    Rust is the bane of long life.

    Rather put 5k into a old truck with 400k miles then the cost of a new truck with even more issues.

      @hrdiesel  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I agree with that. If it wouldn’t be for the rust the customer would’ve probably considered it more

      This is true. A lot of the cost is labor
