I sold both my trucks a while back. Found a smoking deal on a f250 platinum 15 model with 17000 miles. So I bought it. I was going to buy and brand new one, but this saved me a bunch of dough. So now I'm buying a 08 lmm one owner with 287000 miles. I am going to do everything in my power to keep it stock. Body is rough so really not doing any exterior stuff. But who knows

Curious what you paid for the 08? I was looking at an 08 in my neck of the woods with around 220K... but i didn't really want to buy ANOTHER high mileage truck...

Now that I currently own all of the big 3 manufacturers. I can honestly say they are all good trucks some. The Cummins has been flawless, tows great but does beat the shot out of you. The ford is nice and has all the creature comforts and the ride isnt Terrible. When I pull the trigger my 18 ford or chevy I'm sure they will be even nicer. But I still like these deleted older deleted duramaxs the most. I keep telling myself tune only tune only

Watch the fuel lines on the lmm. They like to pinch shut at the left rear corner of the engine from age. Just have to reach back there and feel if it's starting to kink on the underside. It will cause low power and codes. Dads 08 has 320K on it and still purrs like a kitten:thumb:

Thanks for the advice I'll give it a look.

I got my 08 with under 95k miles for 26k. Last year. 9500 is a awesome deal tho.
