In 1994 I bought a used 1988 ford f250 with a naturally aspirated 7.3 diesel. This truck had 76000 miles when I got it from a local ford dealer. This truck previously had a front blade on it which I didn't want. Shortly after getting this truck It needed a complete front end rebuild. It soon had brake issues. The rear seals needed replacement as they seeped oil on the rear break shoes. New seals and complete brake job. Come summer we used this truck to pull our 22 foot camper. The temperature gauge came all the way into the hot area. We stopped at the ford dealer in Fergus Falls, MN. They said the radiator needed to be rod out. They should have checked for cavitation of a cylinder or more but they did what they did. After leaving for the remainder of our vacation the truck continued to over heat. I believe the gauge was accurate because the heat pealed stickers off the air cleaner and other places under the hood which were in place before. The steering column was even hot in the cab. This truck had a 3 speed automatic and only got 13 MPG empty or pulling this small camper. Long story short it was traded for a new Dodge. I thought having only 76000 miles it would have had many years of service left. Hopefully your truck is better than mine. Richard

I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
