OK, here is the deal. I think the most complex mechanics I have ever done was to change the break pads on my civic. As far as tools goes, I have a set of socket rinchs and that is about it (Save a bunch of carpentry tools). I do however have a pit in my garage. However, I am a quick learner.
I was recently given an f-250. I have just had the Carborator replaced by a local shop. The guy their tells me the truck is in great shape. So I have decided to make it a project vehicle and learn as I go.
First question. Am I doomed from the get go? Second question, I think my first task will be to replace the clutch, do I have a chance of doing this my self? Finnaly is their any thing on a 1985 f-250 that is natoriusly problematic that I should be watching out for?
Thanks for any help.
