I must like 'em, I have had up to 5 at one time (personal & business trucks). My business partner and I each have a '02 PSD 4x4. EXCELLENT trucks. My F350 hauls my 10.5 Lance and 18 Fishrite with no problems, 70+MPH, while gettin 13-14 MPG. My wife has a '99 that has no problems (yet, I hate braggin' about something, then that DAMN Murphy's Law shows up), and she pulls a loaded 3 horse trailer. My '96 was a great truck, 165000 miles and never a oil leak ANYWHERE!!! You must watch the ball joints and glow-plug relay on the 95-97 PSd's. At about a 100000 miles the ball joints will probably get loose ($250 ea), and stay away from the Ford automatic hubs (4x4), they have plastic guts and they just can't take the torque of a full size truck. They're all good, but I would look for a 99 and up, they were built for the PSD.
