Howdy,
I've got some questions for y'all 'bout the 6.9 idi that I've had trouble finding answers for elsewhere on the interwebs.
So here they go...
1. What's the top speed of an '86 F-250 (or similar year) with the 4 speed manual transmission and 4x4?
2. What's the average RPM of a manual 6.9 running at when going 65 mph?
3. What's the average MPG going 65 mph?
4. Would it be a good freeway commuter? (I'd be driving back and forth to college classes daily an hour and 15 mins each way, but I also need a truck on the weekends)
5. How good are the 4x4 capabilities of a 1986 F-250 for basic rock crawling, difficult dirt roads, and climbing rocky hills?
6. How reliable is the truck body itself? I've heard fantastic things about the 6.9 and 7.3 idi, but not much about the body.
Thanks for responding! I'm seriously thinking about buying one, but I just wanted to know a bit more about it before I commit.
