I've decided that by spring my F250 is going up for sale as a down payment on a new 2010 4 banger ranger for a commuter rig....Having said that I've decided to put an IDI in my dually ASAP with Goofy's help and leave my Cummins in the garage for a future build. I just can't use the F350 as much as I'd like thanks to the 460 fuel mileage (not good when your MPG can be shown with one hand).....I have a 6.9 here that I know is good so the swap cost is nil. It came out of my buddy's truck and I've heard it running....200,000km....I have everything needed including a flywheel, clutch, starter, motor mounts, rad, wiring and etc....I have 3 more donor 7.3's to rob for parts as well. I'll just re-drill the gasser ZF to fit the IDI. Pic's to come....I will also be moving the plow gear from the F250 to the F350....I think my uncle is going to buy my F250 - he wants it really bad on one condition - I do the repair work on it for him.....Otherwise it's going on Kijiji as soon as the snow stops or the plow is working on the dually. I just need one rig that I can drive without having to constantly pick at...The new 4cyl/spd Rangers are so cheap so it was an easy decision. I'll have my dually for working. Once it's painted and dumping this summer it will be a sweet rig.
