Proud owner of a new to me 94 F-250 XL with the 7.5L 460. Picked it up from a buddy moving states. Estimated 150K miles. Need to get a PSOM to fix the Odometer, Speedometer still works though. Flow master muffler to axle dump exhaust, happy to have my 1st Ford & V8 to be a loud girl.

Sitting on 35’s. Going to be restoring her inside and out. Just gave her a tune up:
-Motorcraft spark plugs, wires, & oil filter.
-T5 Shell Rotella oil
-Coolant flush
-Both serpentine belts
Found a crack in the power steering/ac condenser bracket right near a bolt, so new power steering pump shall be coming in once that giant bracket comes in. She ran great before the tune up, can’t wait to see how she does after all of these tune up mods. Next up, Interior.

Welcome to FTE. That's the way to treat a, "New to me" vehicle. Get to know it and it is less likely to let you down.
Stop by and join the Fl. state chapter too.
