Hey Guys, I'm creeping over from the Excursion Forum. I recently picked up a 1995 f450 7.3 diesel to add to my business. I'm not new to the diesel world but just wanted to pop over and see if theres any thing I should look out for with the earlier power stroke.

Thanks

 

Jut the common burnt UVCH, fuel/oil leaks in the valley and carry a spare CPS

 

Here's a pic of her, 95 f450 mason dump, came with western plow also. New trans at 85k, she just rolled past 90k

 

just make sure the cps sensor is an international or ford sensor aftermarket can leave you sitting on the side of the road as i found out.

 

What is the 8th digit of the VIN? Automatic or manual transmission?

 

Are you getting at it might be a IDI ? Cause I thought the IDI last year was 94. Did the continue into 95 with the f super duty ?

 

Disregard; I swear it said 1994 when I first read it....

 

Damn....I thought I was about to learn something new

 

Haha sorry guys, been putting this beast to work the past few days, she's a 95 and a automatic. Overall minus the surface rust and oil leak she runs like a beast. My Diesel mechanic damn near started crying when I popped the hood (he's been working on a lot of 6oh's lately haha) He started reminiscing about the good ole days he said
