Put a metric gauge cluster in it, it will happen sooner!

I think my 85 6.9 reads 248,000 miles but the speedo hasn't worked since 1997 (I have been meaning to get that fixed)

I have 189k on my 86 and 134k on my 93. Right now the 86 runs better and leaks less.

Default Got one

I am 17 and have a 1993 ford f-250 with the naturally aspirated 7.3 just shy of 180k. It has a one ton sprig pack that makes it sit as high as my friends 97 f-350 that has 4" blocks.I am thinking of supercharging it so I can make it up some of our hills in fifth gear. Ohh yeah I have a five speed.
