2000 Ford F350 review from North America

Transmission - 109000.
Ball joints - 170000.
General comments?
This is definitely the best truck I have ever owned, and absolutely the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned.
My best friend who is the original owner signed this truck over to me as a gift after I had many problems with my 2004 6.0 diesel F350.
I have taken this truck to California and back to Jersey 6 times this year. I never question its reliability. Definitely the last good diesel Ford, and international made.
The transmission was blown when he signed it over to me. We replaced it with a used one with not even 30000 miles on it yet. Put 60000 miles on it in 11 months. Burns no oil between 6000 mile changes.
