1988 F250 w/7.3IDI engine parting out
My truck was abused by my step son and died last week so I’m selling it “as is” “where is”. The water pump failed and I think one or two injectors are leaking now. I think he over heated the poor girl and didn’t notice until it was too late. Any one here have an idea of what my engine core is...- AmigaDave

7.3 idi boat engine?
Have any of you heard of, or seen an idi converted for use in a houseboat, with cooling water circulated from the lake/river? I like the simplicity and lack of electronics dependency of the idi diesels, and have been thinking of retiring on a very large houseboat of my own design and making...- AmigaDave

Any parts I should keep from scrap truck
I'm interested in the utility truck bed, but it would depend on the price you want for it, and if it is rusted out, or still in good condition. I would need to travel a long way to come get it, or check on how much a trucking company would charge to ship it to me.- AmigaDave

Engine swap
Hi Guys (and Gals, if there are any reading these forums), I bought a 1988 Ford F250 XLT Lariat 2WD about a month ago, as I needed some form of transportation, because my only running vehicle had died with electrical problems, that I could not immediately fix, or pay to have fixed. I wanted a...- AmigaDave

1988 F250 XLT 7.3 idi - Which auto transmission?
Some of you probably realized that I repeated myself quite a bit from my post in the "Introductions" forum, but I figured that not everyone reads all the new introduction threads, and I'm getting older, so "Yes", I do repeat myself from time to time. 2nd question but related to this thread...- AmigaDave

88 F250 xlt eclb ZF5 4wd For sale
Just bought a 2wd standard cab of the same year as this that runs for about the same price, but would have preferred 4x4 and the extended cab. If you weren't 3,000 miles away, I'd consider buying your truck and finishing the build, then selling my current truck.- AmigaDave

'88 F250 XLT newbie
My daily driver is/was my 2007 Dodge Nitro R/T 4x4 SUV. Not a popular car, and only survived 5 or 6 years of production. The Jeep Liberty is, or was based on the Nitro, but shortened a bit. The standard Nitro came with an old style 3.7L V6 engine that is weak and not very efficiently matched...- AmigaDave

1988 F250 XLT 7.3 idi - Which auto transmission?
Forgive my ignorance and impatience. I have spent hours over the last few days trying to figure out which transmission the 1988 F250 XLT w/7.3 idi engine I just purchased has inside of it. I tried checking by VIN, with no luck, and joined here in hopes that some of you can help me out. My...- AmigaDave

'88 F250 XLT newbie
Hi all, I am the new owner of an 1988 Ford F250 XLT 2wheel drive standard cab w/8-foot bed. The odometer shows approx. 29,000 miles, and from what I have found online with CarFax, it appears that the odometer has rolled over perhaps three times, which would make my mileage approx 329,000...- AmigaDave
