looking at a 95 F250 PSD
 

Hey everybody,

Spotted a 95 F250 yesterday, 200k miles, black, body a little ding up with a bit of rust above the rear wheels. Paint is in decent shape. Interior is in pretty good shape, other than it need a good cleaning. Only issues ive seen are the park break is not working (cables under the bed are not hooked up to bracket for some reason. Rear drums or axles seals may be leaking a little. A little oil from drain pan bolt (maybe from recent oil change and not tight). I drove it for almost a hour and ran great. Clutch felt good, shifted fine, started and ran fine, Ac was cold, steering felt ok with a little slop, stopped good under hard braking, ran smooth done the highway. i have a few questions:

1. concerned with worn out front end issues. I know the twin beam is not desired and wear tire out. But how bad is it really?

2.Oil pan rust. I looked at as close as i could but cant see much. Looks like normal wear and tear.

3. Clutch life. Felt great when i drove it. pedal lined up with brake pedal. How much life can u get out of a stock clutch.

4. Park brake of course. Cant believe there is anything to wierd there but i dont know fords.

Dealer said they had ford look it over and said its in great shape. Might have someone look at it for me. He didnt have any documents on maintence done. They want 4900 for it. I am not looking to spend a bunch on it, just fix the really bad stuff and a few mod like more air and exhaust, a chip maybe.

Any comments would be highly apprecated. Cheers:c:

Picked up the new toy to replace my 1/2.

Nice truck, pretty darn nice for the money.

mileage
 

went thru my 1st tank of fuel and got 18 mpg. Very impressed with that, guess thats a pretty good indicator its running good.

you post likely have 3:55 Gears. What are you running for RPMs at 70?? Sounds like you got a good deal on the pickup :tu:

In 4th its turning 2800 rpm, 5th its 2100. Seems like a 4.10 gear to me but i dont know. might mark the axle and rotate the wheel a see.
