1Dollar, I have a ol new style 97 F150 S-Cab, 4x4, longbox, 4.6 V8, Auto, w/ 3.55 gears. It currently has 335,000 miles on it, still gets 15/16 mpg on regular ga.
But every so often I need to run a tank or two of atleast mid grade or top off a half tank with premium to stop it from clattering/pinging The computer seams to need resetted. with better fuel from time to time. When I do this I do not have any problems at all fuel/mpg wise.
I have put 3 tune ups on it in its life. First real problem was I blew the rearend @ 220000K miles. Radiator job at 260000K miles. 1 water pump @ 280000K miles, and various brake jobs in its life, Over all it has been the best 1/2 ton I have ever owned. It is great on smaller trailers the larger trailers will need more finesse. It just doesn't have the power a big block has. I still have this truck as a spare backup truck.
I cirrently own an 01 F-350 Crewcab 4x4, with a PS 7.3 DSL. What a power house!!! It will pull a hole in the wind and get 15/16 mpg on average naked pickup. 12/14 with a trailer.
The 94 you are talking about only had 3 version of the 7.3 that yr depending on which one you are looking at 7.3 natural aspirated, 7.3 turbo, 7.3 turbo, Power Stroke! each had it +s and -s.
The F-250 has that goofy split front axle I am not a fan of it, it will work. If it has been trashed before, there is a lot to go wrong. Has it been serviced, New bushings, universals Ball joints? It will need some I bet! Ball joints especially If you could find a F-350 with a solid front axle I think you will lessen the chances of crap going wrong, or sh1tcanning!!! Hope this helps
Later,
John A.

Today's Featured Article - Search For Spares - by Anthony West (UK). Following on from the aquisition of the old Fordson F, I was very much in need of spares. As a novice though I didn't appreciate the fact that there were so many Fordson tractors made, that all the other makes seem rare by comparison. As far as I was aware a fordson was a fordson and it was only through trial an ... [Read Article]
