The t case has had the fluid changed and been bounced off of 3 or 4 dozen Civic sized rocks and shifts into all drive modes easily. The E40D is tough as nails, mine has a leak that I cant fix so I've been running it on tractor supply hydraulic fluid for about 30k and it works better than any other truck trans (all Chevy and Dodge) I've owned. It's a former Game Warden truck that I turned into a daily driveable rock crawler. I have a 96 Bronco (5.8 gas) with an e40d that has been through Hell for 200k miles. Otherwise, find me a rust free, short bed, single cab, 4x4, auto, '92-'96 F-150, with a 4.9l I6, and I'll come get that instead. The truck is priced cheap enough, that even with all of those things I think I know, I'm still considering it. Then there's fluids, and all the other wear stuff, hoses, belts, water pump maybe, and all the other things I don't know enough to be worring about yet. Assuming it's been in 4WD a few times in its 230K miles the transfer case's chain is probably stretched. I'd guess that the E40D is due for a rebuild.
Turbo is $300-$700 depending on what level of Chineseium you're comfortable with. Glow plugs aren't too expensive, considering, but the labor is almost the same as injectors. Looks like you're into injectors for around $1K no matter how you slice it. I didn't know much about Powerstrokes until yesterday.
I have learned it's got, original injectors, and pump, I did get the seller to tell me "it could use some glow plugs," it has "good tires," and they drive it 60 mile a day. The catch, it's got 230K miles on it, and "everything's original." The seller hasn't freely divulged anything I haven't specifically asked about, and the ad is short on details. I've found a clean, rust free, southern, single cab, auto, 4x4, Powerstroke, F-250, with mostly straight body panels, for a reasonable price. I have been shopping for a farm truck for a while, we're currently truckless, I have been looking at '92-'96 F-150s to help SWMBO relive her high school glory days, but finding a match to her first truck, that isn't a steaming pile, or exorbitantly priced has been way more difficult than expected.
