Hello all, Newby here at this site. I purchased an 1987 F250 XLT Lariat camper special last night with only 88000 miles. the guy was asking $1500.00 but when I showed up to look at the truck he said he cant get it to start. it does fire in the start mode position, but doesnt want to run. he said he just had the ICU tested and said it checked out OK. I am now guessingwhat to check next. I bought a ign. switch and am hoping this may be a remedy. I towed this truck home for $800.00 and now would like to here it run. please help. thanks, muddy

I guess I should have mentioned that it has the 5.8 4v H.O. engine.
