Location: Fort Rucker, Alabama

Description: 7.3 liter with 253k miles. Transmission was rebuilt almost 30k ago with all new parts including clutch and flywheel. I am the third owner and have owned it for about three years and bought it with 184K in stock form except rear bumper, tool box, side steps, fifth wheel rails, flip up gooseneck ball, and bedliner. I stripped the interior and added sound deadening material in the whole cab. Took dB from ~85 to ~60 on my iphone app. complete sound system about 1 year old over $1200 in parts including custom center console with 10" sub.

Mods in order from oldest to newest: Air intake, egt and boost gauges, HPOP crossover equalizer, International spec fuel pressure regulator, MBRP 3" down pipe to 4" exhaust with flow through muffler and 5" tip, 203 degree thermostat (International spec), Power Hungry Performance 6 position chip with stock, 60 HP, 80 HP, 140 HP, high-idle, and no start.

I chose those mods and did them in that order to make the truck more reliable first, run smoother, get better mileage, tow better, and have more power. I have towed my old Jeep Cherokee, my new Jeep Cherokee, a full size Ford Bronco, and I hauled hay for a summer. I have driven the truck from Houston to Steamboat Springs, Breckenridge, multiple times with no problems. I would not hesitate to drive anywhere at a moments notice. I averaged 19.5 MPG for 2012 overall. It gets around 21 MPG empty at ~65-70MPH, ~18.5 in the city, and about 15 towing at ~65MPH

Known problems: The hazard/4-way/flashers have not worked since I bought it and I have not been able to figure out why, the horn decides when it wants to work and when it doesn't, there are some small dents and scratches in the paint but overall the body is in great condition. If it sits for a while when you start it up it will smoke just a little bit, so I think the o-rings on the injectors might be starting to leak, but they flow just fine.

I am selling because I bought another Jeep Cherokee, my fiance (5'0") isn't tall enough to work the clutch and I need some money for the wedding.

I am looking to get $8,000.

Don't let the mileage scare you. This truck has been well maintained and taken care of and I would hop in it tomorrow and drive anywhere if I had someplace to go.
