  1. if the dudes F250 as the 7.3TD, there isnt much else other than another 7.3TD that will be able to whoop up on him without a shitload of mods...im a chevy guy, but i will admit ford 7.3TD's> ANY other turbo diesel in a pickup...period.

    The 7.3 is a reliable motor, buts its not the best for making power

    The 6.0 craps on the 7.3 powerwise

    Id be happy with the 6.4 and the 310 Spartan tune lol

  2. Looks good,

    On the outside I would remove the chrome strip on your door, get a few cans of Rusto-leum bedliner and do your front and rear bumper along with your grille with it. Stuff is tough as shit and sprays nice and even, turns out amazing, very popular over on the Titan forums and if youd like I could get you a few pics to show you what it looks like. Then some black rims and your truck will look dopeeee, I like Rockstars or Monsters but I cant afford rims yet, Rockstars would really set your truck off bro..

  3. Actually, beside the problems already listed, this era of GM trucks are fairly trouble free. That 5.7 is a cockroach. I've personally seen a couple those things go over 300,000 miles and still be solid. On occasion I'll see our old Suburban, and when we got rid of it it had over 280k. If you take care of it, it will take care of you.

    My worries come in with me wondering if the previous owner(s) took care of the truck.

    EDIT: Though I don't follow Escalade prices, I do think the price is about 4-5 thousand too high. You can't get around the fact that its a 13 year old truck.

    I can buy an Escalade that's five or so years newer for 1000 more.

    Your probably right I do see alot of that body style still on the road today, just would suck if something major would go wrong IE a transmission or something like that. Would definitely kill a kids buzz quick. Another thing about it is make sure before hand you can afford the gas, im 16 and my truck gets 12 mpg with me keeping it under 2k rpm and its sucks paying to fill this thing up, gets expensive to drive around quick. Im just saying if it was me for how much money he has to spend I would look at different vehicles.
