Hello from Colorado

Hi there!
First time diesel owner. I've inherited my dad's 1993 7.3 IDI F-350 XLT Turbo Diesel, Crew Cab, Long Bed, Dually (which he bought brand-new in January of '94). I'm trying to learn as much as I can about this truck so that I can keep it running for as many years as possible.

I love those trucks!

It's great that you want to keep it going. Treated right, and with some maintenance and occasional repairs, it will probably hold up for many years!

Welcome aboard!

It’s been fun having it. Learning a lot about these trucks and learning I don’t have all the skills yet to keep it running, lol.

I need to find a good mechanic/mentor to help me out 🙂

"Yet" is the important part. It's great that you have that perspective and the desire to learn!

You've got yourself on the right track!
