Glad to be here.

Hi everyone, my father recently passed away and i got his 89 ford f250 7.5L that his girlfriend wanted to give away for 50$. It sat for 3 years and I've got everything good to go and it drives great. I've replaced the pump relay, oil, oil filter, fuel filter and air filter. Only problem is, now after driving for five minutes, it starts sputtering and loses power but doesn't die if I let off the gas and give it a second. Could anyone direct me on where in this site to go to. Trying to get this truck in tip top condition. My father and I drove it all the way from CO to NC together.

You may want to check the fuel pressure to see if the fuel pump or regulator might need to be replaced.

Hi There xsfg and Welcome to FTE Sorry to hear about the loss of your Father, that is never an easy thing to deal with.

Glad to see your were able to get your Dad's F250 and have it almost back up to snuff with the exception of the current issue you are having. I would try posting your question in here:
1987 - 1996 F150 & Larger F-Series Trucks - Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums

The folks there may be able to help you, and trust me there are a lot of knowledgeable people here that are always willing to help one of their fellow Ford owners out who has a question or a problem with their Ford.

I think you will have some luck in there. Don't forget to join your local chapter and meet some of the fellow Ford fans and FTE members from you area.

Enjoy the site and hope we can get your problem worked out for you so your F250 is back in tip top shape.
