Picked this little beauty up today. Super clean with few owners and maintained well all that good stuff.

6.9 L diesel with an 85 F-250 Laramie XLT wrapped around it. My first diesel, well my first full size period. I'm in love with it already

It's a girl, her name is Norma

 

Sexy.
8 ft bed to boot.

Does it have live hubs/axle, ADD/Auto hubs or is it 2wd?

 

Manual hubs and sadly twin i beam. Thinking about converting to an F350 (straight axle swap)

 

yea you needa get that twin I-beam crap outta there..lol

overall...its not bad..but then again it is a ford..lmao

every shop i go to say they have ford diesel's come in more than any other vehicle period..

 

You could fix or repair daily,but most likely it will just be found on road dead.Couldnt resist posting about your fricking old rebuilt dodge.What,did you think you'd get outta here for free?

 

Bet $50 its power stroke diesels. From what i hear they have frequent small electrical problems. Little sensors and what not. This is an old carbureted model with no computers

I saw that coming




I've wanted a full size diesel for a while now but being a poor coolege kid this is the first one that was within reach

Soon enought i'll have a 96+ power stroke or Dodge cummins (leaning towards the cummins)

 

i was gonna say scrap it and throw the axles under the yota but then i saw that its a twin ibeam, so you should just scrap it.

 

haha ... SAS it, lift it, big ol nasty tow rig

?????

 

I dont know anything about FORDS or FORD DIESELS .... so I had to google is

Is that the right diesel engines ? Indirect Injection isn't carbed ... right?

 

Right. Indirect vs direct injection has to do with the manner in which the fuel is injected into the combustion chamber. Direct injected means that the fuel is injected directly into the combustion chamber, indirect injected means that the fuel is injected into a pre-chamber. Neither system uses a carburetor or anything resembling a carburetor.

 

I don't think the indirect is a carb...but I'm not sure, I'm no diesel guru. I could be like a throttle body injection...what do you think about that? I really have not a clue. I'm just rambling on a bit now so for all you reading this you just basically wasted your time...

Before I forget good find, now you have your tow rig!!! Good show.

 

are you gonna ghetto fab yourself another muffler?

 

The diesel fuel injection pump on his pickup doesn't look or function anything like a throttle body injection set-up.

I'll get off my high horse now and leave the poor guy alone. That is, until he starts asking what kind of spark plugs would work best for it.

 

A common rail mechanical pump.

It's the same thought process as a carb.

Mechanical/gravity .... I understand what he meant.

 

It is not a common rail type pump.

This link shows what it looks like:

ok making sense now...

 

I looked under the hood and saw the big round airbox thought it had to be a carb but i removed it yesterday and realized it wasnt. Fist time i've seen injection nut running a long induction hose like most gas motors, my bad
