Going to try and get started a 89 f450 ,7.3, 5spd that has 76k miles, and drive home. Going to take the common tools, fresh batteries, 200 amp starter, can of either. It was running acouple of months ago, they took it in and spent a grand on batteries, alt and who knows what else. Now the batteries have a drain on them and wont start. Any suggestions or pics of other f450? thanks ! cool board!

I don't know about F-450, but the 90 dumptruck I'm looking at just says F-Superduty on it. Looks exactly like any other F-series. Just has a chassis frame under it.

To know what you really got, you need to look at the door sticker. The truck I was looking at has a gross of 17,500. But basically that was fords badging for chassis cab trucks. I thought I counted 12 lugs on this one though.

Don't use ether to start it. If/when the glow plugs cycle you could have a nice explosion/fire. Plus it's just hard on the motor all the way around.
