Saying Hi
Hi All,
I've owned my 1990 F250HD for about seven years. I had the engine rebuilt when I bout it because I couldn't replace the oil pan gasket myself. The shop fee for a new gasket was 1500, an engine rebuild was 3500. The truck had over 150k, so it was a no-brainer.
The engine, a 5.8, runs great. I've got the five speed, which works fine - a little stiff when cold, but so am I, and some rust, but definitely not rusty. It's a regular cab w/an 8 ft bed and has done everything I've asked it to do. I've done most of the work on the rest of the truck myself, with a few exception.
It has some kind of lift on it. I wish it was stock. It rides like a buckboard. I'm cheap so I don't want to spring for a whole new suspension.
Anyway, hi.
Josh
