No Red special here... but possibly more reliable. :seasix:

Don't get me wrong, its a F-250 with a legendary 7.3 in it, with a 6 speed and super low miles.

Ford F 250 1 Owner 7 3 4x4 6 Speed Manual Only 60K Rust Free | eBay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ford-F-250-1-OWNER-7-3-4x4-6-SPEED-MANUAL-ONLY-60K-RUST-FREE-2002-ford-f-250-7-3-extended-cab-4-x-4-/291352943020?forcerrptr=true&hash=item43d5fd19ac&item=291352943020&pt=US_Cars_Trucks)

I would seriously consider picking up this bad boy if I had the cash lying around. :yesnod:

Looks nice and clean, but that is a "wishin'" price, especially for a manual gearbox. Personally, I like a manual, but 9999/1,000 truck buyers don't.

In fact, the last 2 manual trans trucks I bought were "loss leader" ad units for the respective dealers. They ran them as newspaper ads over and over, because nobody actually would buy them, until I rolled up.

It's worth whatever someone will pay for it.

You don't need the "truck" modifier there. This is why having a manual option is a big deal for the Stingray. The clutch pedal will soon be in the same category as VHS tapes, corded phones and CRT televisions.

Good trucks, id prefer the 6 speed over that shitty 4R100...and Im an automatic fan, frankly I think GM has done well in the big truck market with the 4L80E, 4L85, 6L80, etc...

But that price is...well, its the kind of price that people that are serious about buying a truck..see, chuckle, and continue looking...

I bought that identical truck in 2005 for that exact same amount. Silver F250 extra cab diesel 6 speed with 30k on it.

No, I have a 5.4 gasser/auto I bought a week later. I bought the diesel, drove it for a few days and returned it because it was the victim of filthy human.
Had it detailed twice and couldn't get the smell out of it.
I knew the dealer so it was cool, he was pissed he couldn't get the smell out either.

That is exactly what it was. The guy must have sweated, smoked and ate fast food in it for it's short time in his possession. I actually got out of the truck smelling like it. It had to go. I wasn't about to pull the headliner, carpet, seats and dash out of it.

I don't care for a manual in a pickup truck.

How do you find out what fuses control stuff?
