Add another one to the Super Doodie club.

Pick it up Saturday.

08 F250, 6.4, 4x4 Supercab, XLT with heated seats, trailer brake controller and the upfitter switches, mint with 36,000kms.

Lease on the F150 expires on Saturday. Just happened to go to find this truck on Tuesday and made a good deal as I was over my KM's by 51,000kms and had no clue what to do, as I haul a very large trailer for my business, and until now, I did not find any good used diesels. They were either old and well used or newer yet still well used and very expensive. So to find this youngin' in this price range was a great find I thought. Comes with lots of remaining warranty as well.

Here's the link until I can get some good pictures: http://apps.dealerconnection.com/dea...ownedImg=false

It's been a long search and today it's over!

They are incredible trucks for pullin'.

Those tires suck, and the regen's suck, but nothin' that can't be changed.

Thanks guys. And I agree with you Adrian, but the tires will need to be replaced by next winter as they are probably at about 30%. And when I started looking at diesels I barely considered these trucks because of the DPF, the mileage isn't great, but it won't be any worse then my tiny 4.6L.

I got to hook up my trailer as apart of my test drive, needless to say, that's when I was sold.

I haven't found much to lead me to believe that a Job 1 is a deal breaker. Lot's of happy Job 1 owners over on powerstroke.org.

Mine is a Job 3, but the 1's and 2's have been reflashed to the latest anyway.

Not a fan of the grill inserts, but congrats on the new ride. Welcome to the diesel side.

Came with the truck. But being it's so damn cold here and will be for the next 4 months, it'll help reduce a little bit of the windchill. I'll take them off when summer aproaches.

Thanks for the welcome. I'm a little nervous about owning a diesel, despite trying to ignore it, it seems like all you hear is about what has to be fixed on a diesel(no matter the year, make or model)... Hope it turns out to be as solid and reliable as the F150 it replaced.

Thanks for the comments, guys. I wasn't much for the colour at first but it grew on my really quick.
