I bought the truck new in 1993 - it's still in good condition but has 280,000 miles on it. The transmission, last rebuilt in 2004 is going into limp mode and last ATF change there was a fair amount of metal in the pan. The motor has never been apart and it's naturally aspired.
A new truck is crazy expensive - rather than spend $80,000 or more on a new truck could I spend $20,000 and re-power with a pre-emission Power Stroke and an automatic transmission for that motor?
How much would be involved - engine computer, exhaust, drive shaft work? I'd like to have a shop do the work.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions....
The truck - 1993 F250 7.3 IDI 4WD standard cab, 8 foot bed, dual fuel tanks, 4.11 gearing, factory exhaust.
