Just another new guy.......

Hi there Ford truckers,

Another person with a 1988 Ford F-250 w/ 7.3 L IDI and a 5 speed manual trannie and 4WD. It's real straight, and has 182K. This is my first diesel. I have previously owned a 1985 Bronco II and a 1990 Bronco II. I felt the need for a diesel engine, but now am in a state of shock over fuel prices.......... :0

Hi quartercav, glad to have you on board.
Diesel fuel prices may not be great but it`s a nice form of power, I love my 6.0!
Be sure to drop your intro in your local WA chapter: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum188/ soon.

Welcome quartercav to the site and the forums. Fuel shock, to me it's no longer a shock. I just accept it and go on. Got my truck, got my car, got to go, oh well. Glad you could join us here. The best thing you can do is keep it in the best running shape possible including the tire pressure. You've come to the right place for all the info you'll need to accomplish this. Good folks and good info not to mention the search option with tons of info.

Thanks, folks for the welcome. I've been lurking along reading about the quirks of this model before I bought it. Very valuable information. Appreciate all you do.
