    93 F250 E4OD

    I have a code 62 problem. I bought a code reader and tested it several times. This truck is a 4wd 3/4 ton single cab. I bought it for $1800 about 3 years ago. I have had loss of over drive (O/D) problems since I bought it. It runs great when I turn O/D off. O/D works but it will go into...

    Annual Oil Change?

    So I'm putting about 3000 miles a year on my 93 IDI. I was changing the oil every six months. Now I'm thinking about every year. I drive around town once or twice a week but don't go very far. Anyone see any reason to change oil more frequently than one a year? Using Motorcraft 15w-40...

    alternator check

    Cavitation question

    I bought a '93 F250 with the 7.3l IDI about a month ago. It has 156,000 miles. I asked the prior owner about SCAs and he had no idea what I was talking about. They guy is a retired mechanic and was meticulous about maintenance. He did have green anti-freeze in it. The radiator was leaking...

    Coolant change keeping it simple.

    I will be taking my radiator into the shop to fix a top seal leak. I plan to do a system flush when I put it back in. All the information on coolant choices is confusing. Am I OK to just use 50/50 Fleet Charge (pre-charged SCA) and use test stips every six month or so? I really don't want to...
