    87 F-250 idle keeps climbing?

    I just bought an 87 F-250 6.9 (with a Banks turbo kit installed) and drove it home 3 hours with no issues, but as soon as I pulled up in front of my house and shifted into neutral the idle started climbing higher and higher until I shut it off. It did this a couple more times then I started it...

    Steering Columns for 87-91 trucks?

    Unfortunately I need one with 4wd to be useful enough to be worth having, I have looked for a year and not had much luck finding a good one though. I don't really have $20k to buy a nice one (or even really want one bad enough to pay that if I had it), so most of the ones I am looking at are...

    Steering Columns for 87-91 trucks?

    I have looked at several 87-91 F-250s and 350s, and the steering column was very broken in one way or another (shift indicator not working, tilt either won't move or just flops back and forth with no resistance, bearings failed to the point it catches when trying to turn, etc). What would be...

    Still possible to get a 6.9/7.3 4x4 for under $10k?

    It's part the high prices and part that I don't think enough good ones have survived for the prices to come down, and the same stuff is broken on most of the rough ones so I wouldn't be hopeful about being able to fix up a cheap one. I went to look at this one and it was terrible...

    Still possible to get a 6.9/7.3 4x4 for under $10k?

    I pretty much decided to give up at this point, I think these trucks are cool but most have been heavily used/abused and not held up well. They all seem to have most of the same issues once they get over ~200k miles, and it would end up being far cheaper to buy a really nice one for $15k+ than...

    Still possible to get a 6.9/7.3 4x4 for under $10k?

    I talked to the owner and he hasn't had it that long and apparently got it in exchange for some money he was owned and hasn't driven it much. I did ask for more pics, but it sounds like it may not quite be in good enough condition to get in and drive 1000 miles with no way to get it home if...

    Still possible to get a 6.9/7.3 4x4 for under $10k?

    That one is ~2 hours from me and has been sitting for years and won't start. If I had a way to transport one that wasn't functional it would be a lot easier, but then I wouldn't need a truck lol. I have yet to see one that was safe to drive on the road for under $8k, and even the $8k one was...

    Still possible to get a 6.9/7.3 4x4 for under $10k?

    This would be the kind of thing I would want, assuming it would make the 10 hour trip home. After all the sketchy ones I have looked at I am hesitant to drive that far for one but I am going to at least ask...

    Still possible to get a 6.9/7.3 4x4 for under $10k?

    I would need a 4x4 one to do what I would want, I don't mind doing some work but also I wouldn't want to pay $7500 for one that's not even safe to drive. I am thinking they have just gotten too expensive, I thought it was a good idea based on looking at ads for them last year but I didn't...

    Still possible to get a 6.9/7.3 4x4 for under $10k?

    I have been interested in getting a diesel IDI F-250 to use for a slide in camper, but I am wondering if I missed the chance to get one. I have looked at 6 of them now and the ads are all "$7,500 good condition, price is firm, no lowballers, I know what I got" etc. Then I show up and the...
