Bought another one. 92 F250 4x4 NA 7.3 E4OD

Pretty nice looking truck to be honest for this area. The kicker is someone started using it for parts, it has no drive shafts or transfer case. But its a bucket seat truck so my brother wanted those for his 94 single cab. The engine runs, but the tranny no longer has reverse. This one is going to the metal recyclers. We will pull what is useful off of it, strip it to the bones like a buzzard, and haul it off to be melted down into a Toyota Prius.
The best part about it was we got it for a throttle body and mass air flow sensor off of an 89 F250's 351 engine we had sitting around.

Sean... Save all the serpentine belt parts. The pulleys, mounts and bolts for all the acessorys that bolt to the aluminum mounts. Those are special length and material bolts. Sell it as a complete kit to someone that wants to change over from the V belts. I have a complete spare serpentines kit just in case....

nice, post up some pics to move some parts

What are the bucket seats out of?

 

[Goofyexponent]

How many toyota prius' can you make out of a 1992 F250 diesel? 8? 10? The plastic to metal ratio per truck isn't high enough....too much metal.

man I'd love to have a serpentine setup for mine instead of my squealing v-belts how much?

 

[biggin92]

Me too ..... OH wait my truck has serpentine already.

 

[Diesel_brad]

I think V belts are quieter

nothing on you gary, but why would any body want to do this? My truck has 4 different belts on it. That builds redundancy into the system. So if one belt fails, all the other accessories will still work. The only exception is the vacuum pump, which is driven off the double alternator pulley. In fact, if I had the serp belt system I would want to switch to the v-belt system.

I am now down to two belts, as my ac is messed up and the vacuum pump is not needed anymore. Still if say my alternator belt went up in smoke, the P/S pump would still work and also so would the fan. I could definitely make it home if my alternator belt broke.

1 spare belt thats easy to change, with the v-belts the alternator belt can take the system out if it jumps ship.

serp belts are also more efficiant, not that it would really matter much with these engines but i have to agree with Gary on this one.

The V-belt system really doesn't have any redundancy... Twice my '87 shed her alternator belt and took each and every other belt with it.

They never go out without a bang!

And it's a whole lot quicker to just replace the one serpentine belt when things go sour...

 

[gatorman21218]

Oh Im sure that a belt coming off at 2500 rpms (or whatever speed they spin) can make some noise.

In my personal experience with this truck however, I have had the P/S mounting bolts pull out of the pump threads. In this case I was able to fix it in the parking lot, however the truck was still drivable (if only in straight lines). Now if I had the serpentine belt, It would be alot hairier to limp home.

And as far as ease of changing, youd better have a good diagram to work with. I made the mistake of not drawing a diagram on the volvo we have and it took me 45 mins to figure out how to get that sucker back on

This truck is actually a very early 92 vin coded truck, with a build date of 12 91 so it has the v belt system.

The seats are factory, blue cloth. The rear seat looks almost new. The fronts are okay, but I think my brother is going to recover them and find a jump seat/console to replace the console that it has.
