Smile Hi Old Diesel Lovers

Just joined & wanted to say hello.

I just purchased a 1990 Ford F250 pickup with a 7.3 non turbo IH engine. I will eventually use the F250 to pull a fifth wheel camper. I am a retired engineer & I have a cnc hobby shop & also ride a FZ1 yamaha.

The truck is pretty much original with 140K miles-auto w/overdrive. Truck runs great & appears to have been properly maintained. I replaced brakes, shocks, & front seats (extended cab). I found leather bucket seats from an Acura at the local junk lot.

Next major task will be a paint job.

Would appreciate a few pointers on where to find differences between 6 & 7 liter IH diesels. I would also like to find out if my 7.3 without the turbo is the same as the later 7.3 turbo engines???
