Engine swap
I am contemplating another idea.... 1988 ford f250 2wd runs and drives... 1989 f250 4wd... Head gasket seeps on passenger bank, right behind t-stat housing... For sure head gasket... Confirmed.... Anyway... It may be less work to just do the head gaskets... Then I wouldn't have an engineless...- Seasill

Safe starting fluid?

Before condemning the batteries, I would check for a parasitic drain. You will need a multimeter able to accurately read the drain. Simply feeling if the alternator is warm, or looking for size of sparks is not accurate. A parasitic drain is considered a problem at or above 50 milliamps or 0.050...- Seasill

Engine swap
Hey everyone I will most likely be swapping engines from an 88 f250 2wd to an almost cherry 89 f250 4wd.. Only real reason is because 4wd season is fast approaching.
