Default Ford Crew cabs w/7.3 Diesel

Friend is thinking about upgrading to a F450 and selling his '05[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Nice truck and it would be hard to turn it down, but it sure does have a lot of "bling" to it[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] I don't think I could handle taking it off-road[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

rescue driver, have you changed your front wheel bearings yet? I had to change my driver side at 110,000 miles and they say they go out around 100,000 so Im waiting to change passenger side now, I talked to the dealer and asked them why the wheel bearings go out at around 100,000 and he told me, he thinks its because of the bigger snow plows, I told him thats weird, because I dont have a plow on mine lol, hell of an excuse, but it didnt work in my book

No, but when I do I'll look into the aftermarket so I can just repack them. I have done the ball joints and on it's 4th set of shocks though. I think in the last 8 months or so I have put around $8000 into the PSD. Some for goodies[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img] and some for maintainence[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img].

to let you know they are a sealed bearing, it costs $300.00 per side, I know I almost fell over lol, I dont know if the after markets are greasable, but please let me know because I will switch both out because I know my passenger side will be going pretty quick because Im at or around 124,000 miles

Yo!

Pops called me last night told me the truck was running really rough but was still running.. He also said the trouble light was on. He went to plug his predator in and NOTHING. The thing didn't even power up. I told him to try it in the jeep to make sure the predator didn't go bad so he did. He said it powered up fine.
He also went through all the fuses just to be safe. They were all fine.
This morning we went out and the first thing i did was unplug the batts to reset everything. Same thing except the truck seems to be running fine. Still teh predator doesn't light up.

Any Ideas. Im stumped.

Um something else...

We found a 1996 Collectors Edition Vette in an old ladys garage under a cover today. Basically its barely been driven in the last 10 years.. Only 1000 miles been put on it since 1999. Its only got 23000 miles total. My uncle told me it still smells new inside. Last time it was driven was in October to be smogged. Carfax checks out good as well. Shes the original owner.
She said any reasonable offer basically. My dad is really interested in picking this car up. Any reason NOT to? Obviously wed trailer it back...

I really think he just wants something faster than mine.
