Driving the IDI Diesel F-250

Just random driving with the stock 7.3L and ZF 5 Speed in a 1989 Ford F-250 ext. cab 4x4. Has 35" tires on it, no lift. Hard to shift and steer with camera! lol

most likely u put the pitman arm on in the wrong spot for ur steering wheel to be like that...

[blackhawk8427]

@slowpoke560 it ended up being the box's shaft was slightly differently orientated and it needed an alignment basically to get it straight

I rarelly down shift to. If I do, I rev match. And my clutch has 376,000 miles on it and still going fine, not sliping at all :)

dont need to down shift with all that torque in the low end! go diesel :)

i have also have a 1989 f 250 with the five speed. when i shift though and i push the clutch in to shift up it kinda rocks the truck alot i was just wondering if this was common with these trucks since they are so powerful. it was previously my grandpas truck and he power shifted it for the 380 thousand miles that it has on it could this also affect the dropping of the clutch?
