'05 6.0L Dually Running Like A Choo-Choo Train

Well, it appears we have ourselves one here with 217,000 kms. on the clicker. The owner has traded up to an '11 F-350 6.7L. Our sales department is willing to let me have this one for $1500. Do I say yeah, or do I run like Mike Tyson has a hit on me? What say you, gents?

Why not. Fix the motor up and make out like a bandit.

How is the rest of the truck? I'd look it over good first, brakes, balljoints, steering, etc

....and do you have anywhere to store it while you fix it up? will the shop let you fix it there?

I would do it if my GM would let me work on it there

Aaaahhhhh. But here's the kicker. Judging by the way this thing runs, I'm a thinkin' we're into BIG Do Re Mi to fix this thing up into driveable condition. The white smoke is raw fuel exiting the tailpipe that you can smell from the entire parking lot (not that ours is that big to begin with). Looking under the hood, looks like this thing has been "serviced" by someone employed in the Fortino's meat department. That said, I'm almost thinking this thing might be into an engine.

Haven't actually looked it over yet. When you start this thing, it barely runs before blinding the entire parking lot.

I don't think my shop has a problem with me storing it and fixing it there. For me the issue would be how much money I'm into, to fix it up.
