1999 Ford F-250 Super Duty XLT 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB
I just traded it in with 52350 miles. It had the Powerstroke, auto. The ONLY thing that ever went wrong was an alternator failure right at 50,000 miles. It turns out that the alternator bearings were out of spec from the beginning and it was wearing out from day 1. $160 later, I had it running. Other than that, it was powerful, economical to drive, and very reliable. I liked it well enough that I bought a 2003 just about like it!
The power of the 7.3 was unbeatable. The craftsmanship of the body was excellent. It didn't have a rattle or squeak when I traded it. The uphosltry and carpet looked brand new and didn't wear at all.
The only improvement I could ever say anything about was the noise of the 7.3 diesel. They have corrected that already with the 6.0 diesel.
