[QUOTE="Sirhc7897, post: 15807845, member: 10294"] My first vehicle...a 1985 F-250 with the 6.9 IH diesel in 1996. Bought it with 130k on the clock. Both fuel pickups were rusted off so it would only go about 100 miles on each tank. And if you were unlucky enough to accidentally run it out of diesel it would kill both batteries before it re primed and you’d stink like diesel from jumping the starter solenoid under the hood with one screwdriver while pressing in the air release valve on the fuel filter on top of the motor. There was an issue in the transmission where I basically had to manually shift it with the column shifter to get it to change gears and even then I had to rev it to redline (3k rpms if I remember correctly) pull it into the next gear and hope for the best. Smoked like a dumpster fire cold idle. Back sliding window wouldn’t lock and you didn’t need a key to crank it. My friends soon found out and the game of the day used to be the scavenger hunt to figure out where around town they had hidden my truck. No AC. No heat. Phantom electrical gremlins. God I loved that truck...and hated it all at the same time. Sent from my iPhone using svtperformance.com [/QUOTE]
