i found a 90 f250 with the 7.3 non turbo automatic trans 4x4 for 2500 i think it has 193000 miles does it sound like a good deal i donk know alot about fords
may be getting a new truck
- Thread starter mud runner
- Start date
i know im not a big ford fan but iv heard that the 7.3 is a really good motor and its a diesle and everybody wants too mutch for the yotas
The 7.3 is a really reliable motor, their only pitfall is they are a little short on power (until you get in to the newer Powerstroke motors). Value of that truck is going to be really dependent on condition and maintenance, parts for full size truck aren't cheap. Why don't you just get a ranger? It will serve a young dude better bc you won't be spending all your money at the pump.
iv got a s10 now and ill be keeping it if i get the f250 and its in really good shape it needs paint but int. is really good ihe front seat has one tear on the drivers side and the back seat is perfect
Right on, I would have a mechanic give it a once over so you don't get any surprises. What year is your S-10? That was my first truck
I have a 2wd yota with a 22re, they last well over 350k miles if taken care of. 18 mpg sucks though but its probally since I kinda drive like a maniac hahaha
Hell yeah, mine was an 89 too (it has a 92 front and rear end on it here). I had it for 7 years and I wish I would have never sold it. I swapped a tbi 350 into it after I blew up the 2.5, gas was a lot cheaper and I'm lucky I didn't kill myself in it.

that thing looks sick
Thanks man, I had a ton of work in to that thing and did pretty much every mod you can think of to it. I had a 2.8 4wd blazer and a 4.3 Silverado too so feel free to ask me questions if you ever have any problems with yours.
I've had a 4 cylinder Ranger ('05), Tacoma ('08 work truck) and Colorado ('10 work truck) all in 2wd and I honestly thought the Ranger was the best of the bunch. I also had an '03 Ranger 4x4 work truck and thought the engine was thirsty and sounded like an underpowered sewing machine. Tundra's are pretty legit (I drive a 2wd v8 at work occasionally) but my personal ride is a supercharged F-150, I'm too old/smart to street race it but it's pretty funny to smoke people in a four wheel drive truck that weighs 6,000 pounds I:I
i have a chev 1500 2000 i can not kill it go chev take it to the max duramaxs you can not kill trust me me and my buddys have tried
Dont get the 7.3. My dad had one and he had and still has a great paying job and he could barley keep gas in the tank. I dont see a young kid with a minimum wage job being able to keep up with gas. Save for something you really want that wont be to bad on gas and that you could afford to drive.
I would give someone on here my blaster if you can show me a ford going over 350k miles without a rebuild or any major engine work besides tune ups
my dad has a old ford tarus that has about 350k on it stock motor and trans no rebuild
