I have a 1999 F-250 with a 7.3 Diesel with a manual transmission. A bunch of extra goodies (tuner, lift, brand new mud tires, headache rack, move front bumper, toolboxes)- and much more. 250k on the odometer, and has had a bunch of work done to it. It has been a very good truck, and has traveled from Missouri to Seattle with no problems. My wife and I are expecting our first child, so we are needing a better family truck. Has been an amazing vehicle, and if I could hang on to it, I would.
