Diesel junky
What should the idle speed be set at for my 91 F250, 7.3IDI with an automatic tranny? Mine idles about 750-800rpm...Kinda high to me. I usually like to see diesels idling around 650-700 at work. The temp gauge is running around between the M and L in the normal range all the time. I checked my top rad hose, about 70C* so it''s not running hot. Maybe this is normal or I have a bad sending unit?
Would a 96 F350 and my 91 F250 have the same rear brakes? They both have 10.25 axles, single wheel. I noticed today will taking stuff off my 96parts truck that the rear brakes, shoes, W/C's and drums are like new on it, mine are worn out on the 91. I had a 1-1/8" M/C on my 91 that was going bad, I took the 1-1/4" M/C off the 96 and put it on my truck tonight. What a difference, stops on a dime now.
I hauled my first load with the F250 today, had 1340KG (2950lbs) of gravel in the bed, no sweat for the IDI I must say. ...I used to haul that much with my F150 but the F250 feels much safer at the same loaded weight.
