What kind of diesel for a 1986 fird f 350 diesel

Hello Dreama Rhodes,

Those symptoms would lead to a SERIOUS OIL leak conclusion.

Hopefully the LOCK-UP is your F350... self defense shut down
rather than an actual seizure...

You need ti be checking oil levels like your engine's life depends on it... a lost drain plug, broken oil line, damaged or loose FILTER...

ALL
ought to be pretty obvious

Drive no where until you are sure your
ENGINE WILL SURVIVE.

7.3l v8 diesel turbocharged,
1999 FORD 350 SUPER DUTY 7 3L V8 DIESEL Turbocharged Oil Dipstick Tube...

automatics do not change gears
the gears are constant mesh and the ratio changes ( gears) is achieved by bands and clutches
change the transmission oil , and have the bands and clutches adjusted

Amsoil diesel oil is the best. I would locate your nearest amsoil dealer.

Check for a burned out fusible link,it will be on the solenoid switch,on the battery cable side.They look like wires,but if you pull on them,and they are burned out,they will pull apart like taffy.

I'm guessing since this a 350 super duty, it is a diesel. Is so, the oil pump is on the front of the engine, behind the front cover. Don't know what kind of problem you might be having, but the engine has to be removed from the vehicle to access the oil pump

Bad Injectors most likely. I have a 2006 f-350 and was having the same problem. I ended up changing the fuel pump and 4 injectors.

fuel pumb leak coz it is normaly conected with the engine by gears

hello you can check the slavecylinder for leakage there is a reservoir up near your mastercylinder black mounted on firewall has a plastic line take the cap of fill with fluid if low try again if no go check fluid level in transfer case with bent coat hanger or wire should register at leat 2-3 inches down if all is good sync gears out of sync goodluck
