1988 ford 350 diesel cube van
Got a chance to get a 1988 cube van cheap. I have not seen it yet.
It has a 350 diesel. tranny won't go into forward. My questions a whose diesel would have been in a 88 cube van? Was it a good engine and what kind of problems did they have? Which automatic trannie would have been mated to it?

Maybe you could be a little more specific than 'cube' van...Exactly what is it? |

I'm sure the van is an E-350. Ford never made a 350 CI diesel engine that
I'm aware of. I did a junkyard search for you for that year van and the only diesel the Hollander says was used in that year was the 7.3. I then searched the 7.3 diesel equipped E-350 and it appears that for 1988 the only auto tranny that was mated to the diesel was a C-6. This search was not quite as conclusive as the engine search, but I'm relatively certain that you're looking at a C-6. I'm 97% certain you're looking at a 7.3 engine.

A 1988 E350 highcube van would have come with a 7.3 liter diesel. this is a
good motor if taken care of, and 400k miles is not out of the question, 300k is common. the thing to look for is ph level in the coolant system. if the proper additives have been kept up, there will be no porosity in the cylinder liners. the trans will be either a C6 or an AOD. you are looking at around $1100 to $2500 for a trans rebuild, depending on the trans type and what it needs.

I can't in my wildest dreams imagine that Ford would put an AOD behind a
