Warm hellos from Arizona

Hi!

Due to the sudden and untimely death of a friend, I am in the process of buying her horse-hauling rig, part of which is a 1990 F350 7.3 diesel crew cab 4x4.

Thought I should do some learning, as I've never owned a Ford or a diesel before. I'm not much of a wrench myself & am lucky to have a mobile mechanic who will come work out of my driveway, but I like to understand what's going on with my vehicles.

My usual hauling vehicle is a 1976 International Loadstar 1600 gasser with a Frank Imperatore 3-4 horse box. I'm ready to move up to something a little newer!

I don't have pix yet of the truck, but will be sure to post when I do.

Thanks,
Amy
