I got fed up with the cost of maintaining all the electronics and "green" crap of modern vehicles and just bought a 1987 F-250 4wd 6.9 IDI with 128k on it.
Aside from my "modern" vehicles I've had a 1985 Benz 280SE for a while as my backup/summer ride. It's been the best car I ever bought. Anything that's failed so far I have been able to fix myself. I appreciate that a lot.
That's what got me to decide to sell my "modern" truck and get this old Ford.
This is my first diesel and I've been reading through lots of great info. that you guys have posted here and now I have a list of things to do to this truck to make her happy and, hopefully, last for a long time.
I just wanted to introduce myself and thank you all for this great resource that I'm sure I'll be using a lot in the future.
I hope I can contribute in some way here in the near future.
Cheers!
