    87 F250 for sale

    I'd like $1500 or best offer. I'll try to list the good and the bad, if I miss something, feel free to ask. I'll list the good. Runs fine, smokes a little, has the ATS 088 turbo setup, T19, clutch a little over a year old. Front U-joints and Warn Premium hubs last year, "new" used radiator...

    93 Lincoln Mk VIII $1000/obo

    Mark VIII, 4.6 DOHC V8, runs very well, transmission shifts very well, has "carriage top"; false convertible, and could use redone. Needs the passenger side mirror installed (included), some dings, needs exterior drivers door handle, overall not bad. R title previous to our owning, and we...

    Maybe I just need to chase a wire, but I'm new to PSDs, and have a brake light issue

    Just brought this thing home, and I knew as soon as we hooked up the rear lights that I only had one brake light. Before I start chasing wires, could this be something crazy? I don't know a whole lot about these things yet, it's a 97 Cab/Chassis 4x4, and I had to install rear lights because I...

    Definitely off IDI topic...question about a Ranger

    A friend of mine is looking at a Ranger; I know this is the IDI forum, but I really don't know where to ask, and don't frequent the other sections of this site...so I have to ask here. The truck he's looking at is a 1988 Ranger 4x4 with an FM146 transmission in it, however, the 3rd gear bearing...

    On the note of pulling...I'm wanting to try it out...

    Looking at the local calender, there appears to be a Truck and Tractor pull at the Big Knob Grange track May 22 starting at 10am, for anyone near Beaver County that might be interested. I haven't a clue on any specifics, and it doesn't just say "tractor", although it's being presented by the...

    Was in a bit of a rush this morning, and noticed something

    This may or may not be normal IDI behavior, however, I don't usually have a very heavy foot in the morning or whenever the truck is cold, so I've never noticed it before. I was running behind this morning, and after letting the truck "warm up" for about a minute, maybe two, I had to go. I...

    Just went thru the whole turbo pedestal/drain pipe leak issue...

    And of course, nobody, not even International, had the grommet for the valley pan. I run an ATS 088 (wouldn't have been my first choice, but it was on there when I got it), and what I found to work, was a Dorman "HELP!" product, part number 42344, Chrysler PCV Grommet. It had to be slightly...

    Just feeling good about the truck, thought I'd share.

    I've done a few things since I got it, the differences are obvious if you check my gallery. There's only 2 pics there, but I'm pretty darn happy so far. I guess next will be time for a winch bumper and winch, something a little more aggressive than mall terrains, and some body work and paint...

    Self revving after 2nd start of the day

    This was a first for me. When I started the truck for the 2nd time today, it ran up rpms without any input from me. It didn't go nuts, but it went up by at least a few hundred rpm over normal, and it did it by itself. This lasted maybe 15 to 20 seconds, then settled back to normal idle. Is...

    New clutch is in, time to address the other stuff

    What a difference! Went from a worn out 11" stocker to a 12" new clutch, world of difference. Now I think I have passenger side ball joints to do, and the passenger side rear spring hanger. What's the best place to snag a hanger? Worst case scenario, I can steal it off my gas truck, they...

    First time owner here; question regarding the cavitation list in tech articles

    Hi, new guy here; both to the forum and to the 6.9 diesel. I just purchased a 1987 F250 6.9, ATS Turbocharger, 4 speed 4x4 this past Saturday. I was wondering, in the list of coolants that prevent cavitation, the Ford/Motorcraft Premium and Premium Gold antifreeze, it says does not require...
