A creak in the right-front fender is all that has went wrong with this big rig... It is by far the best truck that I have ever driven.
This truck gives a really smooth ride, heavy loads or not... gives you 10,000 lbs. + towing with its big 7.3l diesel that is really great.. There is not a bad thing to say about this truck.. buy a Ford.. don't listen to all these fake Ford mottos they got around here... Ford - the best never rest!!
Correct me If I'm wrong, but isn't the 92, the first model year that the 7.3 didn't have a turbo. I still have mine since I purchased It in 92 and I don't recall a model with a Turbo. I'm not too happy with the quality of materials used on the '92, I find metal used on my '95 is much better. The engine for eg. is rusting on the outside, but the Powerstrock is fine, same thing with the body. Regarding maintenance it could be better, but leaking gasket are expected on Ford's. On my experience with Ford's, I'll give it a 7 out of 10. There's room for Improvement.
What guy's like Ford, GM & Chrys. need, is some full size competition from Toyota, Nissan and then maybe Ford wouldn't ignore you 2 months after the warranty expired with only 20000miles and stuck with a 2000$ repair bill. I'm Sorry Warranty is OVER!
Consider your self corrected they first started the turbo in 94', which was good, but the turbo housing was still in need of sizing adjustment (turbo lag).Well of course some improvements are going to be made on a 95'.An older diesel is like a harley its gonna leak a little oil, just a little in other words it shouldn't be a noticeable difference in between oil changes.
True the 92 did not come out with the 7.3 l turbo, but there is an aftermarket kit by Hypermax that is installed on my 92 that does a great job.
Hang on a moment, my 92 and 93 both say turbo diesel right on the side?! Are you positive on this, I asked the dealership and they did the usual head scrathing and shoulder shrugging and went back to changing the turbo in my 92, I wore it out.
