im looking at getting a 1986 e350 6.9l diesel pathfinder 4x4 it's got 155k miles and he says it runs perfect and (edit TRANS runs cool at 160 degrees. Said he's put a new manufacturer fuel pump in it. He's asking $12000 but said he's motivated to sell.
I would like to know how reliable are these vans? And what should I look for as far as the common problems on them and how much money can I expect to dump into it if I get it. Ive read that the 6.9l is really good and the biggest problem is thin heads which get eaten up by coolant?
My goal is to make it into a conversion van and travel across the U.S in it. Im a newb at diesel engines any suggestions or help is really appreciated.
Thanks
