I recently bought this F250 knowing it was likely to have a dropped valve, due to a somewhat common valve spring break: in #4. I began the repair and have family matter that takes priority. The hard part is over: exhaust manifolds are off, no breakage. All parts present and organized, I'm in a habit of working neatly. I already bought a new battery, starter motor, two OEM coil pack, all plugs, oil and transmission fluid tubes, exhaust studs, OEM thermostat and seals, and OEM manifolds. Oil pressure was no issue and I changed the oil. Vehicle can be finished by a novice technician without excessive spending or time. The vehicle was used for maintenance not plowing, as I was told, and is evidenced by lack of wear on plow frame. The tires are new and a quick check of the numbers will tell you it can be a winner, if kept or sold.
