    Thanks. Yeah that's what I was thinking. These are usually posted for $1-2k more in worse or equal condition, and $3-5k more in nice shape (I sold a 96 that I took really good care of for $10k last year).
    I tried telling him that, that even if it did need a new power steering pump/gearbox/entire PS system that the extremely low price should still be worth it. I also tried explaining to him that there's nothing wrong with the PS system, and that when you lift a truck you change the angles of the steering linkage (leverage) and large tires are harder to turn (bigger contact patch with the ground) which makes it more difficult to steer... simple physics/mechanics. Guy didn't even want to shoot a lowball offer when I gave him the chance with "Alright then, what do YOU think it's worth?"
    Oh well.

    Dammit mcantar! Had you put it up for sale back in June my buddy would have swooped on it in a minute! He was in the market for a mid-90's Ford and his budget was "anywhere under $5K." Looks nice and clean, AND it's a 5-speed. What kinda mileage does it have? I might forward the ad to my buddy anyway, he loves to buy from Service Members (I almost sold him my '00 Durango right after returning from the box) and help where and when he can.

    It WAS up in June
    Guess your buddy musta missed it. Though I had it listed for $5k then so it might have been overlooked.
    Mileage is 240k (sounds high but keep in mind what engine we're talking about here...).

    I sold my 96 with 385k on it for $3000 a while back. Still ran like a champ. God I miss that 7.3l.

    IMO they're the best engine ever built. Things are like freakin tanks. Soon as I get back I WILL be getting another one... just can't decide if I want an OBS or a SD.
