Got me a 2018 F-250 for $1000

Changed plugs this weekend. Didn't change boots or wires. YET. Also replaced all oxygen sensors. Truck runs good. Was hoping to eliminate the PO430 and PO420 codes. Po420 came back unfortunately but runs well otherwise.
I'm gonna have to get cats on this thing unfortunately. Ordered up a cheap radio and new Bilstein shocks and a steering dampener. Will also for sure need a fuel pump. All in time.
Finally got the remnants of all the old company stickers off of it. The hoes my driving sticker was a bear.

The F250 w/6.2L is a great truck. I had two of them as work trucks and both handled everything I threw at them with ease. Just 87 octane, quick lube oil changes, tires, and brakes, and I was able to get 150K miles with zero problems.

Great find on the truck. Congrats.
 
Decided to change coil boots and resistors today. Ended up replacing two coils because the two were pretty bad and the resistors looked terrible. I put my meter on them and couldn't even get a reading. Not sure how I didn't have misfires.

Before you drop big $$ on new CATS I would carefully look for exhaust manifold leaks. If everything looks good, I would try a spacer on the rear oxygen sensors.
