Mine's an '01 Superduty F-250 Supercab, Powerstroke 7.3L with the automatic. It has an International sticker on the valve cover- That's the reason for the "Cornbinder" joke. Agree about the jerk of a salesman- trying to sell F-150's is for a bigger commission and that "best selling truck" ad spiel. You should have walked. They had an abundance of diesels the year I was looking, and at the end of the model year to boot- so the salesman didn't give me any guff. Made a pretty good deal on the truck and financing, as well. It has 66,000 on it. Runs great(Turbo/intercooler). And it beats the mileage of all the gas motors- F-150 or Superduty. I get an average of 17mpg with a habitually heavy foot, and a couple small mountains between home and work. Pulls anything I've hooked behind it much better than the '99 F-150 5.4L I traded on it, and the F-150 only got 10-15 mpg. I can't vouch for the new 6.5 Powerstroke they use now, though... It had a LOT of problems with the fuel management computer system and injection. *Why* do they *always* manage to screw up a good thing. -- Yrs., Ike "Blanks, he says.
