Hi all,
New to forum ,have been lurking for a while and have registered today. I bought a 1990 F-350 reg cab 4x4 about 4 months ago.It was in good shape when I bought it with very little rust(for a Canadian vehicle) and fairly sound mechanically. I am very happy with this truck and have been enjoying pecking away at little issues since I bought it .At this point it is running well and no longer leaking on my driveway. I love the simplicity of the idi and feel confident that I can learn (limited mechanical aptitude) to maintain this vehicle.
Only complaint is when I am towing either my 26 ft. 5th. wheel or my 18.5 foot boat. Hills are a challenge and since I live in the mountains of northern BC it is hard to avoid them. I have been told by local diesel guru that a turbo will "wake up my engine". I see that there are options (Banks,Hypermax,ATS,and CTS) for bolt on kits. If anyone on this forum knows where I can get a good used turbo in this region please let me know.
I have access to a 94 engine with factory turbo at a reasonable price. Why is this not as good an option as the other kits?
Any and all info is appreciated.
