It can be a tough decision sometimes. Some guys are really brand loyal. Personally, I have had good luck with Fords. I have also owned several Dodges, the weak link was always the tranny in the dodge. The GMs were just weak IMO, they just got sloppy and loose way to fast. As I said, I have had several 6.0s and I skipped the 6.4, but just traded a V10 F350 for a new ford diesel f350, hope it stays together.

too bad you don't know of a 6.0 engine needing a home AND get him to come down on the truck price.
I just sold a running but partially-parted f250. 6.0 in it had 250k on it and ran strong with no smoke.. entire truck went for 1800$. we took hood and radiator and trnas cooler and alt off of it...plus nose clip. bought it specifically for them parts..

I really don't want it bad enough to go through all of that..if he drops the pice A LOT, I'll reconsider.
Here's another you may want to look at... Just kidding really, but thought you might get a kick out of the ad. Big thing to note is 'Everything else completely stock and no tuner.' 
Gotta laugh at some of these...
From CL ad below
2005 Ford F350 dually with a Power Stroke and automatic transmission lifted 7" with only 97,000 original miles on it. Black exterior with ghost flames, new Nitto Grappler tires and a new goose neck hide-a-hitch that has never been used. Engine has had the EGR upgrade an Air Raid breather with cowl hood and a straight exhaust. Everything else is completely stock and no tuner.
Truck ride and drives like new.
Interior has black leather seats, all power including a power sun roof, 3-TV's and a DVD player. Inside of bed has been lined and a A.R.E. topper has been installed.
Listed price is my cash price

i must be missing the point where lack of a tuner makes a negative impact on the sale. i'd say it makes a positive impact.
could it have not just been a superchips reprogram to performance.. then set back to stock.. etc?

Could be, and didn't mean to say tuner=bad. Just seemed funny to me to list all the mods on hood, air, exhaust, hitch never used, 7" lift, etc and then make a point to say no tuner & all else stock. But I don't trust 90% of any CL stuff, so maybe that's my problem

This one? F350 Dually diesel lifted 4x4 XLT
I dont like the install job on the TVs, the corner sticks out past the back seat. Also, from the looks of the truck, it might be more accurate to say 'Everything else completely stock and no tuner anymore'

Might be something like send the tuner back to the MFG and they reprogram it to talk to your new truck for $200 vs 1200+ for a whole new tuner...
