97 F350 dually Power Stroke

[tncattle]

If Murphy doesn't rear his ugly head this time next week I will own a 97 F350 Powerstroke Dually Crew cab. Anyone have a truck like or similar to this one. I've been looking for about 5 months now and read a lot and research. I figure it will pull around 10-15000 pds. no problem.

It'll pull much more than that. Just make sure you have electric brakes on the trailer to stop the load :lol:

Better be sure and add the "Ford Cooling Additive" to the cooling system.

Have heard of a few folks that had to replace engines from this.

It's not limited to Ford's either.

Got a 96 and a 97, both single cab 350s. The 97 has a better motor but they are both adequate. I've put a few aftermarket items on the 96 that help, the exhaust brake being the most useful. I pull a dual tandem gooseneck with 20 rolls, does fine in flat ground but in the mountains it leaves something to be desired.

I have the 1997 powerstroke 4wd with single rear wheels and I'm satistfied with it plenty of power for towing.

i have a 2000 f-350 dually with 220,000 kms on it and it has been really good, and has lots of power. I hauled round bales with it last year, we had 25,000 lbs on the trailer, and i'm not gonna tell you it pulled it easy , but it pulled it pretty good
