1985-1992 Ford F-350 information

[Social_Darwin]

I'm going to buy a 1985-1992 Ford F-350. I was wondering if anyone knew
of any webpages or other sources to get information on these trucks. I
need to see payload capacity, horsepower, gear ratios, stuff like that.
I'd also like to read some reviews by owners. Any suggestions?

Sometimes a good repair manual for that specific model helps. I've gotten a lot
of good information out of a Chiltons or a Haynes manual.
But off the top of my head, F-350's GVWR was 9200 lbs. with single rear wheels;
4.10 was the most common and maybe the only gear ratio available, with limited
slip as an option in the rear; a solid Dana 60 front axle starting in 1986;
Ford full floating or Dana 60 out back; EFI on 351's (200-210 hp and 300-315
lb/ft) and 460's (around 240 hp and 385-405 lb/ft) starting in model year 1988.
Transmissions were the C-6 (earlier) or the AOD for automatics and the Warner
T-18 or the New Process 435 4-speeds manuals. Transfer cases were the Borg
Warner 1345 2-speed.
Hope this helps a little. Happy Holidays!
