Part one of a series centered on bringing an old truck into your fleet. This will show many of the things to be done to familiarize yourself with the vehicle and get it up to reliable running condition. I will show common preventive and corrective maintenance items and also how what to do with many of the common issues associated with an old vehicle. We will delve into removing and correcting electrical issues. we may have intermittent problems to trace down. we will have mechanical issues.
My test subject is a 2002 Ford F250 Superduty with the 7.3l Powerstroke diesel engine. this truck was owned by a landscaping company and shows signs of a hard life.
