I originally bought this 92 F250 tp harvest the EFI 460 and 5 speed transmission to swap into a project but had a change of heart and now want to use it as a rig to tow trailers. Wish me luck, necause it didnt turn out so well last time I tried it

Good morning from Cape Cod ⛵ don't apologize for the long video, it was very cool to see that F-250 just sitting there as a pile of junk turn into a viable tow rig. That could have been ugly with those loose lug nuts, yeah s*** happens. Thanks for an awesome video Ron, man keep up the great work 👍✌️🇺🇲

Great stuff!! I once did exactly the same thing with the rear lugnuts on a car.....completely restored an old MGB and on the first trip it was doing the same.....both back wheels were damn near felling off. Live and learn......

I got a 1996 f150 4.9l and it’s runs great when cold you can fire it up in the morning and drive it anywhere but as soon as you shut it off and go to restart it she fights it’ll fire off but surges and shakes the whole truck you gotta give it gas to calm it then it runs fine

146k ain’t bad at all, I had a 97 F-350 single wheel 4x4 460 5 speed that the odometer quit at 352k. Spent most of its life plowing mud through pastures and pulling a triple axle stock trailer. Its ultimate demise was when the seat broke through the floor because it was rusted out and became too scary to drive 😂 460’s are tough. It might not have got the fuel mileage, but it would out pull the 7.3’s of the day, and start easily in the cold.

The 93 Econoline van that this truck will replace has a 460. Closing in on 300k. Still hanging in there, just not the powerhouse it used to be

I'm not familiar with the MT 90 oil that you put in the transmission but check the manual. I think you'll find that the ZF5 uses a thinner oil because of their inherent tight tolerances. Thanks for the video.
@misfittoys8883
@misfittoys8883 5 күн бұрын
Calls for a synthetic ATF I believe. I dont know what " weight" the MT 90 is, but if I had to guess, I would say 30.I have ran light weight motor oil in many Ranger transmissions and chain driven transfer cases for years with no ill effects.

many years ago mid 1970's i gave $650.00 for the Snapon Ball Joint remover kit its so odd present day mostly use my Harbor Freight ball joint tool much easier to use. good thing about it though the adapters will interchange. will have to admit the Snapon is a much heaver duty tool but never found joints the Harbor Freight tool doesn't work just fine

Other than it being akward trying to hold everything in place while snugging it down, the Harbor Freight balljoint press worked pretty slick, I have to admit.

Either fill the radiator with white vinegar and run it until it's hot flush with water and it should be completely clean or get toilet boil cleaner with rust remover from the dollar store 4 bottles and the rest water and do the same thing run it get it hot drain it it will definitely be cleaned after the toilet cleaner

I think I got it now, but if the fresh anti freeze I just put in starts showing signs of getting rusty, I will definitely try one of those ideas!

We had an 87 f350 2wd 460 with a 4 speed it was a good truck it had an RV engine that only had 40,000 miles on it The truck towed a 19,000 pound mini excavator or a 25 foot dump trailer no problem until it lost oil pressure. Cold it only had like 7 psi and once it warmed up it went to zero and the lifters started tapping

The van this truck is replacing has a 460 in it. Used to do an awesome job towing and got suprisingly good mileage for a big block van towing a trailer. Then it started not doing so well. I believe the lick up torque converter stopped locking up. Still towed with it, just wouldnt pull hills as well and the mileage suffered a lot

Maybe its because its a chevy but when i cut the bed bolts off the old 78 k10 they did the same thing with the punch but didn’t hang up the bed could be because there was hardly any rails left as well

IT appears that the truck has a ' trailer tow package ' because of the one ton springs, overload helper leafs. and a rear sway bar. my also account for the 4 : 10 gear!
