Ode to my good ole 89 Ford 7.3 Diesel!

Good running 7.3 normally-aspirated diesel with just over 200K! This was in my personal truck which someone hit from the side in the bed area and was totaled! It's all parted out now and I miss the old beast! I know it's parts are living on in other bodies! (Didn't even have to sign a donor card!) Good bye old truck :-(

Shyt...I have an 89 dually with a rebuilt 7.3L in it, oil pressure would drop once it warmed up. Probably seized by now, good sounding engines though

Sorry did'nt see your comment sooner but been busy. Yep I have a 1989 f-250 diesel,replaced the glow plugs but they were not the problem. Had a bad voltage regulator ended up killing both of my batteries, just glad both batt. were under warranty. Still drive the truck every day,one thing to watch out for is for some reason this year of truck rots out in the rocker panels and driver side floor boards. Been looking at a 88 thats in real good shape,bad engine been thinking of eng. swap.
