I'm trying... I really like the truck though so if I can't get out of the deal I won't be too bummed. I might use it for 6 months and get rid of it. Shouldn't lose too much on it. It's an 03 King Ranch 250 with the ARE bed cover and 60 K for 24500. I don't think I got "dicked" but I don't think it was an extremely good deal either. I don't drive much so I should be able to sell it for about the same in a few months if it starts giving me headaches. They have a 5 yr 100k powertrain warranty so major stuff should be covered. What do u guys think ?

ditch it if you can. you dont want a $24,500 headache.

anybody have any overheating problems with there 6.0's? Our work trucks are a 03 and 04 350 superdutys w/6.0. Out of nowhere they will overheat and then be fine.. it has happened 3-4 times with each truck. We run a 45 hp programmer in both. could this cause this?

If this happens when towing. It is probably a head gasket. My
friend at the Ford dealer had one that would only overheat with a trailer in tow. The truck got a new engine. It was an 2004 F350
