7.3 diesel v8
electronic 4-spd auto transmission
preferred equip pkg
3.55 rearend
sliding rear window
keyless entry
captain's chairs
deluxe two-tone paint silver metallic and medium platinum

does have 217,000 miles on it but everything is really tight... no squeaks and rattles going down the road... new glow plugs/injectors, water pump, alternator recently

stole it for $3700

was built in kansas city and was bought origionally
about five miles from where i bought it

has nice tint and the a/c blows cold and i can't believe how clean the interior is... few dings on the outside but nothing i'm worried about...

here are some pics from the cell phone... sun is at a funny angle right now so they are not great

it's NA... it will tow anything... i'm not trying to go fast with it... have heard of people putting the banks turbos on em with pretty good luck.... this thing won't be moving enough for me to be worried about acceleration performance.... will put 95% of my miles on the work truck still... the bronco moved around 3000 miles last year as my daily driver... i only have to drive to the local bars, the local bowling alley, the grocery store, and my local weekly offroad meeting:rolleyes: but now i can take the bronco to places that are further away than local without having to worry about not making it home

don't think it would ever have the performance of a tuned new diesel... then again it is just about as quick as my stock 2007 duramax 6.6 turbo diesel

swapped the grille even with a mud truck on 66" inch tires... it looks way better on his... and stock looks a hundred times better on mine... good swao... and was only five screws... just took a few minutes and we were both happy:7:

You running the additive to help prevent the block corrosion? With that many miles I'd probably do it.

just heard about this today on Pre mid-94 IDI 7.3Ls

yes... every time i fill up i put in the recommended amount... it's especially important now that diesel is low sulfur and doesn't lube anything worth a ****... stupid greenies... i have to buy an additive to put the "pollution" back into my fuel to make my truck not crap out... and i always seem to splill it on the ground... i bet i pollute now more than i did before low sulfur fuel:p

on a side not i pulled my buddies truck with it a few weeks ago... did great and was suprised ... i couldn't feel the trailer as much asa i thought i would
