Hello - CA

Hey,

My name is Chad, back about 14 years ago I was a diesel machanic in the USMC.. Hence the handle..

But I signed up becase I'm right on the cusp of purchaseing an 1986 Ford F350 with a 6.9L diesel. It has 68K original miles... No bad at all.. huh?

So I've been looking here to see what kind of problems they may or may not have..

Any thing specific I should be looking for when I look at this truck?

Welcome Chad!

Have you checked out the boards? I'm thinking this one: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum117/ and this one: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum37/

Bet you can find all kinds of help in them.

Thank you for your service and good luck witht the F350!
