Hi all,
I do 99% of the work on all of my vehicles - the other 1% is the electrical stuff - I'm no good with it, so I'm begging for help from any Oilburners in my area who would be willing to come help me get my beast running again. I'll buy lunch and supply the cold beer (or pop, iced tea, if you prefer).
I live in West Chester, Ohio - about 20 miles north of Cincinnati. I've got an '88 F250 with the stock 7.3IDI, four wheel drive, and C6 tranny. I put a shift kit in the valve body last fall, got in, fired her up, rolled down the power drivers side window, dropped it in Drive, and it quit. Window would not go back up, but I've got the interior light and headlights working - so I'm thinking "ignition switch".
So far I have done the following; checked all the fusible links behind the battery with a multi-meter, replaced the iginition switch, and stared at it for hours on end (my wife calls this wasting time - I told her I was just planning my next move).
Since I do almost ALL of my other automotive work, I HATE the idea of paying a mechanic to come look at/fix it. Is there anyone in my area who can help me out????? PUH-LEEEEEEEEZE????
I've included a couple of pics of 'er in the hopes that someone will see just how rough and ugly she is, and feel sorry for me and offer to give a hand...
Thanks in advance,
