Hello, All
Got my magnuson boxed up and on the way back for a refurbish, looking at a couple different Harley Davidson F-150's, 2002-2003, around 100K miles for a daily driver while I spend the summer going through the Lightning Killer.
Anyone have experience with this package, how many miles are the S/C's good for, What to look for before I buy, maintenance, etc?
Thanks--
AL

 

I've noticed they are in better shape, and I really want a super cab or crew cab, not the reg cab lightning. Almost got a Foose the other day 80K miles but I snoozed and loosed, someone got there first.

 

Ha! Check this one out...

Did you look at the photos?

 

Think I found one with normal doors, checking it out this afternoon.

 

My luck...
drove about 285 miles, beautiful charcoal grey in excellent shape, good price, just before I got there they fired it up and it started throwing the 171/ 174 code, O2's reporting lean conditions. Salesman said they were going to replace the O2's. (right, kill the messenger). Had it up on the rack and the mechanic had that "hey, boss, I'm a suburu mechanic" look on his face. I did get a good look at the underside. Could be something simple, could be something expensive. I was pretty happy it didn't wait until I bought it and was blowing back across the desert last night. Anyway, they are going to send it into the ford shop monday. See if they can figure it out, maybe still something that I can work with. Brought up a good thought, I should pull the Edge Insight out of the 98 and plug it in to prospective buys, see what the fuel banks are doing...

 

What a waste. They have been trying to sell it for a few weeks. Good luck!

 

There's a 08 Foose about 400 miles away, 59K miles, $26K. Way better then a 03 HD...Way more money.

 

Took off about 6 this morning in the Mustang , 200 miles little place east of Salem, bought the truck, drove the truck back to Salem to get a car hauler, back to the dealer, loaded the Mustang, back to Seattle little after 6 pm tonight. Truck had almost no gas, been sitting for a while, but fired instantly and smoothed out after a fill up of his test.

Hi test...
Towed the car nicely plenty of oomph gauges all 5x5
A/C on all the way, 85 deg out, cruise control, manually popped it out of o/d on the low hills went I started to feel guilty but plenty of torque at low rpm out of the Roush.

 

Think its the 4R75E, but yes, for sure on avoiding the 4-2 downshifts, thanks for the tip. Might have time to play around with the tune, but it'll never come close to the 98 and is pretty respectable as is for a 5500 lb truck! If all it does is get me to work and back comfortably while looking cool I'm good till I get the lightning killer back on the road. Then I might do the tune it and slam it, for a truck that looks lowered you're really up in the nose bleed section.

 

Something that caught me off guard, now it's not a tilt steering wheel, it's an adjustable column. When did this ridiculous feature start coming out? Dog really likes the electric cargo window though, that's a plus.
