Curious how many of you out there have a Chevy or Ford diesel truck from back in the day. Always mixed reviews about them .

(quoted from post at 15:23:14 01/25/16) I've still got an 85 F250 with a 6.9 that's plated and insured. It was OK in it's day,but as soon as I find an older regular cab F250 4x4 gas to use around the farm,cheap,the diesel is going to be retired. It never did have much power.
It was best to change glow plugs every year,I found that out. If I just changed the ones that were burned out every fall,I think it effected the amperage or something because it didn't start as well as if I changed them all.
For the last three or four years,when it sits overnight,it looses prime. It starts then dies and I have to crank the daylights out of it to get it going again.
In all honesty,I wouldn't buy another diesel pickup. I had an 81 Pontiac Bonneville diesel with the 5.7 Good Wrench in it,and if you want my opinion,those older diesel pickups belong wherever the old GM diesel cars ended up,wherever that is.
