whats up guys, I managed to buy my first vehicle a couple of weeks ago, and it happened to be a 1990 f250. Ive always been a fan of that body style and finally found a reasonable to buy. Its a 1990 f250 3/4 tonne extended cab long box, with a 7.5L 460cu engine and auto tranny with over drive. its also converted to propane, 2 gas tanks, and 2 propane tanks, 4 tanks in total. It had one owner before my who was an elderly man who bough it brand new off the lot and took REALLY good care of it. It has 205,xxx miles on it and is still running very strong. I am no mechanic, and there's nothing wrong with it right now (as far as I can see) so I was just wondering what you guys think about this engine as far as reliability, and things that I should be looking out for.

thanks for your input

 

you know we do need to see some pics of the truck congrats on your purchase!! I would say check all the basic items, belts, oil, ect to be sure its good to go, change what needs to be changed if any thing at all...

 

haha ya man for sure, i'm still trying to figure out how to do that. I checked the oil and it had recently been changed, sometimes when it's cold it squeals a bit but its just a belt. Ive heard this trucks are notorious for having vacuum problems, it that true?
