1999 Ford F250 Super Duty XLT review from North America
"I'd recommend it to anyone, it's a great truck!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The alternator needed to be replaced after 4 years of owning it.
As I was getting a regular oil change, the man putting the oil in put in about 15 gallons instead of quarts and ended blowing the engine, with oil coming out everywhere (literally). After being able to finally get it started, it ran fine, but was missing and was only running on 6 cylinders (it's a V8). About a year later the engine totally messed up and the cylinders needed fixing, and many other things that had blown because of that oil incident.
General comments?
I have a Super Chip in my F250 and it gives that truck so much more power and it really feels like a beast. It is a WONDERFUL truck and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a truck or to men who want a toy.
I have put 37" tires on it and am soon going to put 39"s. It has Fabtech Suspension and Rancho Shocks. This truck has been a great truck.
