Hell, Lee, That truck's not old, it's new enough to have side marker lights.

As a "previous owner of a F250 with a 7.3L Navistar engine. That engine will still be "idling strong" (or pulling strong) long after the rest of the truck is "buried in the nearest salvage yard"... Realistically, the 2001/2002 Fords are 17+ years old, everything from body mounts, seat attachment bolts, door locking mechanisms, rear axle bearings, rear end, U-joints, and that "infamous E4OD transmission are all "living on borrowed time"... Trucks in that age group are either "rebuilt classics" or "nickel and dime repositories"... There just "ain't no middle ground" when it comes to trucks sporting the Navistar classic...
