Heyo, new guy here!

Heyo everybody!

I bought a beat-up 1988 F-250 a couple months ago. It has the big block 460, with 4wd and a 5-speed manual. I've been slowly repairing it and have plans to turn it into a bit of an off-roader. I drive it daily, even though it only gets 11 mpg.

Love the truck, and I'm excited to get advice when I need it!

Welcome to FTE. Yeah, that old dinosaur engine is a product of better days in the oil fields. The upside is, they are a sturdy old beast.
