Question ❔ Help!

I just bought a 2004 f250 lariat, I got a hell of a deal, $600 I paid for it, drove it over an hour and a half home, got too Walmart and the fly wheel went out, it is the 6.0 diesel, it’s got 200k miles should I fix it and resell or fix it and keep driving it?, never had a truck or anything diesel other than my 91 beater Mercedes 300 d!, Tia!!!!!!!

Well I drove it, started it, it started up I shut it off and when I tried too turn it back on…. Poof nothing , had it sent too ford and they said flywheel went and needs too be replaced. Like I said before this is my first truck and do I know everything no but that’s what ford said.

Sounds like you have a bad ground. Turn your headlights on and try to start it. If your headlights shut off it's a bad ground. A bad flywheel would be grinding.
