Episode 297 Published 1 year ago
Description

In this episode of "Profits with Pajak," John Pajak answers a DM from DeSean W. in South Philly, Pennsylvania, who's considering buying a 2004 Ford F-350 with a SnowDogg plow to start his snow removal business. With over 253,000 miles, rust issues, and a questionable price tag of $9,300, is this truck a smart investment or a money pit waiting to happen? John breaks down the pros, cons, and common engine problems with the 5.4L engine, while offering alternative strategies for getting started in the plowing industry. Tune in to find out whether this purchase makes sense and how you can make informed decisions about equipment for your business.
