I'm looking for experience and opinions. I'm in the market for another truck. I'm wanting an F250 or F350 srw from 1980-1994 with either the 6.9 or 7.3 idi diesel, or 7.5L/460 gasser and manual transmission. I may consider a 460 gasser up to their end in 1997. I don't want a powerstroke. I know they're great, but I've already had one for a short time and I was out of my league with trying to maintain, troubleshoot and repair it. The two idi's appeal to me because of their simplicity and lack on electronics. A buddy has a 7.3 idi and praises of easy it is to work on. I have no experience with a 460. Can anyone with experience with any of these provide some insight into your experince owning, maintaining, and repairing them? Obviously the newer fuel injected versions of the 460 are going to have more electronics, but are they a pain to deal with?
Thanks
