No i went straight to his house to give it to him, but he wasn't home, so I'll go see him in the morning. He may just tell me that I just paid for the truck!
Seeing as he let me have it for $500 and I could take a year to pay for it!
so lets see...
Ok it is a Blueish/white cloud! and it was low on oil almost 5 quarts!Well seeing as my truck is apart waiting on fleabay, I went ahead a talked that guy into selling me his truck!!
WOOOO HOOOOO
Ok It is an 88 F250 He bought it in Tennessee on 3/17/88. He told me it has 500k miles on it I've info here from 4 states. He used it for his work building Post Offices. I'm not sure if you can see it in the pictures but it has all the books and even a Delivery Checklist! I only got to drive it about 2 miles, it was leaving a white cloud behind it?
Ok, I cleaned out the truck today and it had a lot of papers in the center consul thing. You know bills, receipts, check stubs, deposit tickets, those envelopes you get from the bank when you cash your check.
Ok I found one that felt like it had something in it
and i tore it open and found $450 dollars!
This is one sweet deal!!!

Well...it sounds like the rings may be worn a bit...depends on when he added oil to it last. But after watching your videos, it sounds fantastic. No sounds like a dropped valve or bad lifters or anything like that. The other thing I noticed was when you had the in cab shot, your wait lamp only stayed on about 4 seconds which is not right for the solid state system. No problems now, but when you get a little cooler weather up there......

The in cab shot is my 87 as well as the other vids. the only one from the 88 is the blow by one.

I didn't see much blowby in that sequence, I saw some from the dipstick which usually means it has quite a lot, but you'd have to pop the filler cap off to see for sure.

I guess you won't know that until you figure out what is wrong. Might not be a bad idea to keep the $450 and take the truck back...I am sure you would be money ahead!!!

But then i would have to come to be part of your job, cause it would not be right.

Even if it needs a rebuild, it's still a great deal for $500. Even a POS would be $2000 around here in most cases.

Sounds pretty sweet, and sounds better than mine and mine is a 88 but not dually.
