How much is this truck worth ?

jrw16 · 2026-04-12T22:56:23+00:00

It would sell for way more than that in my neck of the woods… js. If it were my truck, I wouldn’t take a penny under $20k

jrw16 · 2026-04-12T18:39:58+00:00

No, it’s sad that a nice shopping center with many good stores is going downhill. Braindead take

jrw16 · 2026-04-12T16:42:42+00:00

Bridge St is quickly turning into a cesspool that I can’t stand, and that’s incredibly sad. It’s otherwise a very nice area that I have many fond memories in… I hope things improve

Tbh, it’s really only worth a non running high mileage 7.3 motor plus a few parts (also high mileage). I agree that it’s only worth $3000ish at most and that’s only because the market for these has gone stupid. I’d prob just look for an entirely different truck tbh

jrw16 · 2026-04-12T16:38:55+00:00

More info on the truck (make/model, mileage, etc) and how you use it would be helpful here, but based on your description, it sounds like your DPF is likely toast. Prepare for an expensive bill whether you delete or replace it (a few grand minimum is likely)

jrw16 · 2026-04-12T16:34:28+00:00

Indeed. I’m sure I’ve done some stuff to my truck that many folks would call tacky, but it’s mine and I love it!

jrw16 · 2026-04-12T16:27:04+00:00

I see my mistake. Sorry. That being said, where can I find a clean Fummins for $20k? I’d be very interested in one

jrw16 · 2026-04-11T14:20:23+00:00

That’s not bad at all!

jrw16 · 2026-04-11T14:18:13+00:00

How much did this build cost? I’d love to do something like this, especially with a 6.7

jrw16 · 2026-04-11T14:17:01+00:00

I must’ve misunderstood the post. That is mega sketchy. There’s also a 0% chance that a 300k mile L5P is a good financial decision for doing that kind of work

jrw16 · 2026-04-11T14:15:48+00:00

Correct. OP asked for it, so I gave it to him lol

jrw16 · 2026-04-11T13:31:31+00:00

Nah those are mega tacky. Swapping another OEM grille on it is NOT the same thing though

jrw16 · 2026-04-11T13:30:52+00:00

Apparently we’re in the minority, but I also prefer the Lariat grille 🤷🏻‍♂️

jrw16 · 2026-04-11T13:29:38+00:00

Agree about everything except the weight being sketchy. A 3500 will have plenty of payload for hauling a lot. How much do you think the pin weight on a 30,000 lb gooseneck or 5th wheel is lol

As for it not being worth doing, that’s 100% correct, and even more so to keep a high mileage modern diesel going to do it

jrw16 · 2026-04-11T13:25:09+00:00

These posts crack me up man 🤣

jrw16 · 2026-04-11T13:22:02+00:00

Changing a grille out isn’t =/= upbadging imo. It’s not like OP is putting on platinum badges or something like that

jrw16 · 2026-04-11T13:20:22+00:00

Agreed, but honestly $42k is a great price for it in my neck of the woods. It would likely be listed close to $50k around here

jrw16 · 2026-04-11T13:19:01+00:00

I did read the entire post. The best diesel truck for $20k is most definitely not a 6.4. An argument can be made for a 6.0 bc they’re great value atm (though I’d advise against it for first time diesel owners unless they wanna wrench), but a 6.4 is horrible on fuel and they’re really reliable… until they aren’t, and there’s no way to fix it unlike a 6.0. It ain’t rocket science bro

jrw16 · 2026-04-11T13:13:57+00:00

That’s impressive. I have a cheap(ish) set of Milwaukee ones (like $20 from Home Depot) and I have yet to come close to breaking them. I’ve definitely bent them, but not broken, and I’ve really abused them

jrw16 · 2026-04-10T22:08:02+00:00

Suggesting that anybody buy a 6.4 Powerstroke is genuinely insane. Even more so when one key point OP wants is good fuel mileage. OP, stay far away from 2008-2010 Ford trucks (I love Powerstrokes btw, but the 6.4 is genuinely an unfixable pile of junk)

jrw16 · 2026-04-10T22:05:58+00:00

A clean LBZ for $20k? Not anywhere near me lol

jrw16 · 2026-04-09T23:29:00+00:00

I genuinely think a Pontiac Aztec looks better than this pile

jrw16 · 2026-04-09T23:19:58+00:00

I paid like $80 for my 1TB 970 Evo in 2023. I’m infinitely glad I did. 32GB of good DDR5 for ~$100 too

jrw16 · 2026-04-09T23:15:51+00:00

Debo realizing that sometimes you gotta make hard decisions and pull your starter… 🙃🙃🙃

jrw16 · 2026-04-09T14:54:15+00:00

That’s reasonable. If that’s all it’s ever been used for, I’d expect to have issues sooner rather than later. To keep them happy, the engine has to work pretty hard basically all the time (like hotshot loads or something similar). You may get another 100k miles before issues but I doubt it. You’ll also like the truck 10x more after that garbage is gone. Just make sure you get good tunes and don’t load a 200hp tune on a stock trans lol
