Mine only lasted a year or so before the radiator clogged up to the point of overheating on every trip. I dang near killed that truck because of it on a long trip. My recommendation would be to get a new radiator. I did and my overheating issue was gone for good....

This is great advice!!! I chased a fuel supply problem for months. It ended up being pieces of the shower head had gotten lodged in the selector valve and wreaked havoc on my fuel supply.

Gents,
I am looking to pickup a 1987 F250 which appears to be rust free. It also has a Hypermax turbo on the 6.9l engine. It also has a 5 speed and dana 60 swapped into it. This is the truck I have been looking for for awhile since I believe it to be the best setup for long term usage...

The intermittent vibration is felt most at low speeds ie under 15-20 mph and shakes the truck a little (tires?).
Then there is an intermittent...
This is in reference to my 2003 but I figure axles are fairly similiar through the years and I know who to listen to over here!!!
On my front dana 60 I noticed on both sides the spindle seals (rubber ring that seals the axle from the elements)
were loose and not holding out moisture.
I...
Well, even with the reduced cost I would have to drive ~2,500 miles to get home...not in the cards. Unless I get desperate for a rig.
Yours would be nice since it has all the upgraades I would want. Its just too far. It almost makes you tear up. I would sell my 2003 for sure!
