1991 Ford F-250 Reviews

My father bought this truck brand spanking new. I bought it from him back in 2001. It was just a work truck. The 7.3 International diesel is nothing like the diesels are these days. The x-mission was rebuilt twice by my father before I got it. He definitley isn't a " hot rodder " Always hard starts until the engine was warm. Glow plug problem or design. Changing the glow plugs seemed to help for a little while however went right back to hard starts in the mornings. Thats why I say maby the design of the glow plug system. This truck had the engine block heater option when father bought it. He started pluging the truck in at nights and the hard starts in the mornings stoped. WE LIVE IN FLORIDA! go figure! Ford had a recall on the paint. A few years after father bought the truck the peeling started. After the repaint with quality paint everything was fine. I don't know what can be done with the glow plug system. There probably is a fix, however I didn't research the problem. I think the problem with the x-mission was a combination between design flaws for early 90's x-missions and electronic problems also. I vagely remember my father having something electronicly changed out with the x-mission at the dealership while still under warrenty.
