Bullnose Gator Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 My name is Jeremy and I recently got a 1986 F250 XLT Lariat, Supercab, 4x4, Manual, 460. I know next to nothing about working on cars/trucks, but have always wanted to learn, so that's what I'm hoping to accomplish with this truck. -Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Jeremy - Again, welcome to the forum! We have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu), so would you like to be on it? As for the truck, it sure looks straight. And clean. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 OK, so I might be a little biased At times I am jealous of the manual tranny though. I used to think a manual would help rein in the thirst of the 460. Nope. Got it up to 11.6 when I met you last week. Took it easy and didn't even use the speed control - and it was working at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure looks good compared to the 9 I got with the C6+OD Hopefully we aren't scaring you too much Jeremy although it might be worth signing up for a gas station benefits card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I am pretty sure it'll get to a full 12, if not more, when I go EFI this winter.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcarlisle Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Welcome! And being this is your learning truck and it is so nice, be careful not to fix on it til it won't run. I've been there before. It sucks. Good looking truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
