FS 1989 F250 4x4 HD Minnesota Clean Nevada cab! $1000
Selling my 1989 F250 Heavy Duty single cab. Hope to price it right for a quick sale. Manual transmission. Early 6.9 swapped in at some point. The good: Cab is near rust free. There may be some I'm not seeing but its in incredibly solid shape for its age. There is a dent in the back (see...- vaughnp

Early 6.9 low compression? continued...
They're actually in good shape. I cleaned them up on the ends when installing the new batteries. It turns over at a good clip now, just still not getting any fuel out of the lines at the injectors. Wish I knew more about the motor. With the Turbo Engineering drivers side exhaust manifold I...- vaughnp

Early 6.9 low compression? continued...
Have the new starter and two new 1000 Amp batteries installed, did that first thing. Its starting to sound like a rebuild would be in order. Will have to see if I can make that happen. Its probably worth it as the cab and front clip is near rust free, it lived in Utah most of its life. The bed...- vaughnp

Early 6.9 low compression? continued...
From what I've read on oilburners it sounds like usually the cylinders stay true and a re-ring does the trick. I'm sure that will vary though. My plan was to take the injection pump into a local diesel shop and have it tested, then decide on next course of action. The injectors will need to...- vaughnp

Early 6.9 low compression? continued...
Thanks Black Dawg and Macrobb. Yep its a manual. Pull starting it will be tough in the city, but might be able to make that happen. The gauge seemed to be working ok, but I will verify. I did crank it for 5-8 pulses, it usually peaked after 3-4 and seemed to hold the number. I put teflon tape...- vaughnp

Early 6.9 low compression? continued...
I wonder if the compression will go up much once things get flowing again? I suppose thats hard to say...but it would be nice to do the test on a warm engine. And as far as oil consumption, that would be ok for awhile since it would only get used for occasional runs to the lumber yard etc.- vaughnp

Early 6.9 low compression? continued...
A friend and I tried bleeding the lines and were getting nothing no fuel at the lines. Decided to check compression and I found the following numbers. (Not sure how much it matters but this is an early block/engine (serial 044133) that's never been rebuilt to my knowledge.) From what I was...- vaughnp

Early 6.9 low compression? continued...
The old fuel shutoff solenoid wasn't clicking or making any noise even with 12 volts straight from the battery. New one clicks and appears to work as it should. Maybe it was just stuck from sitting? Anyway easy one to rule out at least. Tomorrow I will be bleeding the lines.- vaughnp

Thanks for the info bbjordan! Well, she's in pretty tough shape, but if I can get it running it would be great. Have the return line components coming tomorrow as I suspect a leak. With that and all the info on this site I hope I'm headed in the right direction. Things replaced so far are...- vaughnp

Early 6.9 low compression? continued...
Ok I think I found the number: 6_9DU2U044133* (the second character looked like maybe a 3 or 5 or a space, see pic?) Also saw more orange RTV than I was hoping...not sure how bad a sign that is...also in picture. edit:after some quick research, this looks like it may be the "thin wall" block?- vaughnp

Early 6.9 low compression? continued...
From reading the forums I found that the cylinder head bolts on a 6.9 are 7/16 12pt, whereas the 7.3 is 1/2 12 pt. My engine has the 7/16 12pt head bolts. Going to sneak out to the garage one last time tonight and see if i can find the serial...- vaughnp

Early 6.9 low compression? continued...
Hello all, new to the forum, and my truck as well. Its a 1989 f250 4wd that the previous owner swapped a 6.9 into. Not sure what happened to the 7.3. Anyway, as I try to unravel the mystery and get it running, I came across this tag on the injection pump. It says Remanufactured in red, and...- vaughnp

New f-250 6.9 owner
Howdy all! Just pulled a 1989 F-250 4wd single cab off a farm in central Minnesota. Previous owner swapped the 7.3 out and a 6.9 in. Working on getting it roadworthy for the winter I hope. Bought it not running, but the price seemed fair. Thanks for a great forum! Will be posting some questions...- vaughnp
