Hello all,
Newbie here.
I recently purchased a 1996 Ford f-250 w/ 7.3L turbo diesel. The truck is in very good condition, has 137,000 on the odometer and 500 miles on new rebuilt transmission.
The only flaw I could find with the truck is that the rear fuel tank had an annoying slow leak. My mechanic tells me that a rusted out tank is a common problem on these trucks and I should take it out and repair or replace it.
Has anyone had to do this? Is it a pretty straight forward job or are there pitfalls that I should be aware of? Thanks for any tips.
