1985 Ford F250 XLT DIESEL 4X4 review from North America
"Tough truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The glow plug controller failed, and was causing the glow plugs to come one every 20 seconds. Easy fix is to wire in a manual glow plug switch.
Power window switch broke, replaced alternator, voltage regulator.
General comments?
Great motor, all mechanical, tough tranny, sounds great.
