~168k miles

6.0 diesel, #8 cylinder was shut down a couple years ago.

Needs safety valve replaced on dump cylinder.

Roof flasher is disconnected.

A/C needs re-charged

steer tires nearly new, rear have some wear left in them.

I'd like 8k out of it but will take reasonable offers into consideration.

yep, I like it; just can't afford to both fix it and keep it...

Been driving it the last three years the way it is with the engine, but ready to change things up.

#8 Cylinder lost all compression so had it shut down. I was told my options were run it the way it is, replace the engine, or have it rebuilt.

I'm not a mechanic by any stretch of the imagination and really don't know any more.

I've been running it this way for several years.

Does it make a hissing sound when its running? Reason im asking is to see if the head gasket is bad or the rings?

No hissing I've heard.

Mechanic who did the shut down said he'd have to pull the heads to find out what the problem actually was...the price was prohibitive at the time.

The cylinder has 0 compression.
