Hey guys, I found this mint 1990 f600 with a 6.6 diesel 5 speed manual in it down south I’m going to look at Saturday. It’s only got 21k miles and 1300 hours on it supposedly and the dash/ hour meter look possibly original. I’m trying to decode the door tag to see what I’m working with before I head down to look at it. If someone could lend me a hand that would be awesome!! Thank you!!

There are some others here who run or have run these engines. Not a powerhouse, and parts will be a hunt, but reasonably well regarded.

Any story on why the low miles?

 

MPC copy, might be complete. One of the better ones on line. Most I've found are samples.

It was done in 1990 so even though info from it might work for later trucks, the key word would be "might".
