I am no mechanic but am mechanicaly inclined.
anyway, 1989 F-350, 7.3 IDI
Torque converter locks and unlocks randomly
blows black smoke like a freight train (terrible fuel mileage)
and I think I am forgetting something here. I Will edit later
It has low compression, The engine is tired, due to previous owners overloading and abusing.
Does anyone have any advise for me? Are these issues related?
My end goal is to fix the torque converter locking problem, and limit the smoke a little. It will just be a daily beater, but this is pretty bad.
Thanks!
