I have a '96. F-250 Supercab, 4x4.. 200k miles and the motor is perfect. I lost an idler pulley at about 35k but that was a fluke.
As discussed... it IS the transmission that may give you problems but that is only if you tow a lot. A new one will run you $2500 (rebuilt) but for that you can get a bulletproof aftermarket rebuild.
I have never heard that the CPS was a problem in the older models. The 01's aand up have had some issues.

If you can get it at a good price, go for it! I call my truck 'the Goat' because she has been everywhere.. down a mountain side, through mud bogs (not intentionally), crawling through rocks, and pulling a 20k fifthwheel up the Rocky Mountains. I lost my Tranny at around 120k. Haven't had any problems since.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
