My advice is leave it at the dealer. I had a 1988 F-350 4x4 for 20 years. It wasn't spectacular by any means. Everybody that saw it thought it was but it wasn't. That 460 engine is not that ballsy at all. Pretty lethargic actually. Mine had the 5 speed and that thing was terrible too. Always had a really loud gear lashy sound in it if you lugged it at all. Body rusted out and I redid it two times and between the ball less engine and trans and the rust and repairs I'd had enough of it. Sent it down the road. Had it out on the highway for 1 hour and sold it to the first guy that looked at it. He was really happy with it. I talked to him a couple months later at some snowmobile races and it was still going ok. I replaced it with a 2000 Dodge quad cab 4x4 with auto trans and 360 and I've been much happier. Better interior, better engine, better having the auto trans and the drivetrain on the Dodge is built like a train. Has already done tons of work for me with far less problems than the ford. Funny thing was the Dodge was a better truck with 170,000 miles on it than the Ford was with 50,000 on it. Not a scientific comparison, just my experience with the two different trucks.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
