This afternoon, I expect to go look at a 1990 Ford F-450 (I think they were called F-Super Duty at this time) with a utility body. The seller says it has 163,000 original miles. He also says he's changed the oil every 3000 and it passes smog with flying colors. If these things are true, that would indicate to me that the engine is probably in decent shape.
My understanding, gleaned from some google searches, is that this should have a Dana 80 rear axle with disc brakes? Will the transmission be an E4OD?
Is there anything in particular I should look out for on this truck, other than the fact that it's old and well-used?
I'm expecting 8 or 9 mpg or so, does that sound right?
