Hi all. Just an old fart in tax hell with couple diesels. I am semi retired as they laughingly say with Navy heavy big diesel maintenance and later electronics training / repair and finally nuclear power plant maintenance. Back to the diesels, the one applicable to this forum is 93 F350 7.3 with AT and Banks Sidewinder kit. Found it in SC when on vacation and drove back day after I bought it. Other diesel is 92 Mercedes 300D w AT and stock turbo. The 7.3 has been resting in the yard all Winter while I used my beater Ram 1500 for wood and dump runs. Hope to make some mods to Ford like lift kit (to allow oil pan removal) and more reliable fuel system. Ran out of fuel on freeway coming from SC because seller did not tell me engine sucks air at 1/4 tank both tanks so that is first repair on list. But don;t let me ramble. Hope to add info to forum and/or aid some nearby members. Later
