Question type: General

I'm looking at a 1996 Ford F250 4.9 L with an
automatic transmission it seems very sluggish on
acceleration and is running 3000 RPM at 70 miles
an hour is this normal

2 Answers

The engine speed is probably normal. If the engine is sluggish that is a warning. I would either get it really cheap or pass.

if it is sluggish you have a problem but if it wont shift then you have a transmission with worn out gears and you just need a new transmission.
