hey guys im new here and have a few questions. lemme appologise in advance if some of these questions have already been answered over and over again already
the stats on my truck are : 1997 F-250 Heavy Duty, Regular Cab LWB, 4x4 Off Road, Power Stroke 5 speed manual
1. whats the difference between a f250 and an f250 Heavy Duty
2. whats the difference in a 4x4 off road and a regular 4x4
3. im told the 5 speeds have a PTO option who makes/sells PTO's for this truck.
4. what oil do you guys recomend for this engine i've always been a Valvoline fan but i didnt know how it was in the PSD. I hear good stuff about Rotella for these engines
5. are there any easy cheap perfomance mods/tricks for these trucks

In '97 an F250 was an F150 with 7 lugs and heavier springs. An F250 heavy duty was the old body style F250. I bought one new with a 460 in it. It was a good truck. You may want to try the 87-96 F150 and up forum.

It's all very confusing. In the late 1990's you could get an F-250 HD which was the early 90's F-150 body style with heavier frame and axles, and F-250 which was the later F-150 body style, heavier axles with odd 7 lug rims or you could get an F-250 SD, which was the new Super Duty truck.
