Hello all, I have a '92 F250HD ECLB, 7.3 N/A, auto, 4x4 that I recently acquired. It has 390k miles. The truck had been sitting for a few years at a friends property before I got it running.
The truck seems to start quickly hot or cold, and idles well. Throttle response is good and it doesn't smoke or rattle when it's cold. I'm not sure how old the IP is though...
The problem is that it is really, really slow, I know that it's an N/A motor, but it seems like it should be better. It has a hard time maintaining 70mph uphill empty.
The strange part is the truck doesn't smoke at all really, even when it's floored up a grade, there's no smoke. I thought if I was lugging it, it would smoke some.
When I punch it off the line, or do a brakestand, it doesn't smoke either. Does that mean it's not getting enough fuel? Or is that normal for a stock truck?
I haven't changed the fuel filter yet, but that wouldn't cause much of a restriction, would it?
