1994 F350 7.3 TD 4x4
Hey All!
been registered for a while but didn't take the time to properly introduce myself. You can call me Len. Len Guini. (not my real name) but that's Ok. Anyway. Got this 1994, 7.3, idi , turbo diesel several years back. First diesel. OK. So $8 grand later I pretty much have the damn thing restored. Presently doing body work on the wheel wells/fender flare areas. Not too bad really. Mostly minor surface. Added a semi air horn added just for S&Gs.
Parts that the big blue incubus has had transplanted: new shocks all around, new front suspension, new front drive shaft, front differential seal replaced and fluids changed, same with the trans fluid and filter, new gold starter and alternator, new 850 batteries, new remanned turbo, new glow plugs, Hooker headers, and now a new motor with only 107K on it. Yeah. I know. I'm a sad poor, damn near ruined man. But by the gods, when I get it painted, it will all be SOOOO worth it!

1994 f350 xlt 7.3 turbo diesel 4x4 available
Well, my beloved truck "The Beast" just had the torque converter go out. Was pulling a hill under a load, started losing power, I pulled over, put it in low (1), tried to go again but no power. Just revs. No grinding, all the gears shift fine (incl 4x4), so I was hoping it just overheated. Got a tow home, noticed the tranny oil pan gasket was leaking, thought "aha! it lost fluid & shut down." Replaced the gasket - zero metal in the fluid, not so much as a fleck in any of it. Whew! Fired her up, but still no gears working, and fluid coming out of torque converter casing. Yikes! Mechanic tenant from local chevy dealership checked it out, said its torque converter, maybe a seal or gear?
So, bottom line is I gotta sell The Beast - we hardly ever use it anymore and I don't need such a huge truck either.
I'd really like it to go to someone who loves these trucks and I thought this might be the best place to start.
Its a supercab w/ 4doors,
Its an xlt, so all the goodies. Tires less than 8k miles. Just had the brakes done in April, have driven maybe 200 miles on them.
Front brushguard, heavy duty towing bumper, gooseneck hitch ball in bed, 8' bed with bedliner & cast iron headache rack.
it also has a Straight Vegetable Oil (SVO) auxiliary electronic fuel system on it but I have that disconnected since I stopped using it much.
266,199 miles, mostly highway, some mountain, lots of work done at 100,000k - I have all the paperwork - ALL of it, huge file, every receipt for two decades.
VERY well-maintained. Interior clean - no tears in any upholstery or carpets. One crack in dashboard.
I love my Beast but have no reason to fix it when I'd be fine with a f150 these days. And I know there's a select few of us who LOVE these trucks and might want to give this one a good home and get her back roaring again.
So, what's the best way to find someone who might want it and what do you think its worth? NADA says up to $8900 even with 266k miles. Body is pretty good, nothing major. But i'd like to sell it fast so I can get a newer f150.
