1984 ford F250 diesel
Hey guys,
Long story (very) short, My son has found a 1984 Ford diesel that he can afford (Read that as meaning very cheap). I do not want my son to end up with something in which he/I will have to continuously pour money. The speedometer/odometer has been non-functioning for a long while and the current owner things there is around 300k on the clock. It has an after-market Banks Turbo installed. It has some known issues such as a leaking power steering pump and something is wrong with the brake system (Likely will need a new master cylinder or boost - maybe both). I turn to you guys for advice regarding what we should look at on such a truck. I have little to know familiarity with the IDI Ford diesels. Thanks to all in advance. |
IIRC the only thing that I remember of them were the possibility of block issues from cavitation, and they didn't have a bunch of power.
Past that parts were cheap and they ran for a long time. They are undoubtedly the cheapest way to get into diesel without having something that you worry about breaking all the time. |
Cheap parts with good longevity is a good combination for my son.
We are scheduled to look at this truck tonight - weather willing. |
