I know you said it was a '99. A lot of people don't realize Ford didn't build a '98.

Also in about 2001 and later was a goofy diode in the transmission that made the trans die an early death.
For a time in the '97/'98 era, didn't Ford have 2 body styles while they were switching to the new Super Duty body? I can remember somewhere in that era they had the new body and the "legacy" 250 and 350's.
Perhaps it was in '99.
I have a 04 6.0l 4X4 f250 crew cab. I have 135,000 miles and no problems at all. If you can find a 6.0l that has over 80,000 miles with a clean car fax you should be all right. The price is suppressed because of the history of the 6.0l. I have found that once they reach 80,000 the major faults have been found. A 03/04 6.0l will last longer if left stock, no chips or programers to up boost or cylinder pressure. Also regular oil changes are a must with this engine, along with coolant checks. It is not a cheap engine to maintain.
