I guess I should dump all the pictures in 1 thread as I go along cleaning it up and making it my own.

Basics:
94 F-250 7.3 Powerstroke, ZF-5 speed, 3.55LSD Sterling 10.25 rear.
1-Owner Bought Brand new at Town & Country Ford in Nashville, TN by Sudberry Millwork.

I purchased 2/24/16 @ 312,219 miles.

Had to de-companify it lol.

Looks good man. Those gen 1 powerstrokes are tough. We have two of them at work with 200,000 miles on them

And then today with the fleet truck #'s removed as well as bug guard removed.

Yep. And this thing is very healthy still.

Looks great Chris ..... just a quick question. With the F250 i see you have a gvwr of 3991kg - Do you know what gvwr the light duty f250 has and if it comes in diesel ? i'd really like a diesel one but it has to come in under 3500kg gvwr to keep under heavy truck rules here

 

[SuperCab]

I think most of the diesels were over 3,900kg GVWR because that is the heavy/light duty cutoff in the US.

There were light duty F250s all the way down to 6,600lb (2,990kg) so it's possible some of the lighter ones had diesel

Well got the bumper adjusted up and shimmed out to make it level for most part. It is slightly bent. But not a ton. It's good now IMO.

Also got my dash cam installed. Have one in the wife's van as well.

Right on Chris!

I'm impressed. Congrats.

Wooooweeeee. Fuel mileage son..

This is all city. And stop and go about 50% of time.
All along with a 30 minute warm-up in mornings to get truck warm for the kids, and 10 in afternoon for myself lol.

131.9 miles ÷ 8.6 gallons= 15.33 MPG

Not bad, not bad!

Was this one of the first years for the turbo?

94 was a split year with IDI turbo and the actual Powerstroke.

I've got one of the ABSOLUTE earliest powerstroke people on the internet have seen or heard of with a march 94 build date.

They weren't supposed to be released till September of 94 apparently,

This drove off the lot late June 94.

It's so early they didn't even have the powerstroke badges. It still had the IDI turbo badges

 

[O'Rattlecan]

Normally the first few models of any kind of rework have bugs and I'd avoid them. But after 22 years, it's probably safe.

This things never had any engine work further than injectors/harness done at 308k miles. And glow plugs at 150.

2/3 city.
1/3 interstate..

What does it have for axle ratio? Our one at work has 4.10s and it's hard to get over 13mpg with it
