    IDI swap thread. Post UP!

    30mpg has already been done, I think Mel's kid has gotten 29. I got 32 with a Turbo 6.5. This truck will be lighter and have a better finale gear ratio.

    IDI swap thread. Post UP!

    Just looking for ideas and inspiration. I've read everything and put that with what I've seen personally and think a 2wd 1/2 DD 6.9 getting 30mpg is possible. I just inherited my daughters 76 and it seems a fitting candidate.

    6.9/7.3 N/A into a 76' 1/2 ton.

    DD project, most likely will stay N/A. I can handle the suspension and swap but am curious what I will need to power the engine. From what I remember I need a hot signal to the IP and thats it, other than the GP relay which I'll mount on a momentary switch. Anything else? :dunno

    Scary engine knock

    Good deal! I wasn't pimping the 12V just pointing out the obsurdity of spending 5k on a 6.5. But then again I'm a tightazz! ;Really

    Scary engine knock

    DUUUUUUDE! It's also 4300 bills! In an age when you can buy a low milage running 5.9 12v with trans for $1500 and do the swap for less than a grand double the power and longevity why would you spend that kind of cheese? cookoo

    show off your IDI

    This was my 1st Ford IDI and my favorite diesel ever. I sold it to by a PSD :puke: The lesson I learned is don't believe everything you hear in Diesel Forums. The truck on the trailer was another IDI project.

    Best 6.2 I've every owned, What now?

    I sell 88-98 chevy/gmc parts to deer freindly customers via the net. So a guy calls me last week and asks if I got this or that and he tells me he's got a 91' 6.2 w/a bad 700R4. I tell him I just sold the last 1 and give me a ring back. So yesterday the guy calls back and says he's lost interest...

    Question about 6.2 Chevy

    If it says 88k it probably means 188 or 288. Check the brake pedel, if it's worn through the pad it's 288, if it's 1/2 way it's 188, if its just the grooves worn it's 88. These are tried and true but not perfect ways to tell. another way is to look on the title, over 100k will say "Excededs...

    newbie with a new burb 6.2

    The Algee deal can be cured by cleaning, I'd run some Lucas or Seafoam in it for a couple tanks after and continue with the lucas. I've been hearing some horrible stories about the LSD and it's affect on old Staynadyne pumps. The Orange coolant could be rust so watch the waterr temps, could...

    7.3 into a suburban?

    I'm sorry, I thought you said it was a 95' wait a minute... you did. That means that someone has aready changed the motor out. Starting in 94' you could get the "Direct Injection 7.3" which was renamed the "Power Stroke" in 95' and the IDI was banished into diesel extinction.

    7.3 into a suburban?

    Your going to need a lot! What you'll need most is dedication. The engine you've described is a powerstroke, it will fit and run, but you're going to need the entire wiring harness, IDM and computor. I ve seen PSD's in everything from jeeps to S-10 pick-ups and the opinion is "would have used a...

    1994 Ford Cummins conversion

    My Avatar is of a project PSD/ZF5spd I bought for $500. The truck I'm doing the swap in is a 97 CrewCab 460/4aod. I'd like to keep the trans but am still getting prices. I've been on DESTROKED and the adapter is $800 + a starter and flywheel. I'm trying to stay dirt cheap, my doner is a mess and...

    1994 Ford Cummins conversion

    That red will make it at least 5mph faster, in front of the MHP radar. LMAO! Ok so it wasn't that funny. I got a crew cab 97 460 that's about to get a 91&1/2 12V. Did you use the ford tranny? if so what adapter and how much? That's a damn sweet set-up w/the twins and all. You're taken all the...

    Cummins in 1/2 ton?

    If you do the swap make sure you brace the area around the steering box. Especialy if it's a 2wd. I just scored a 3/4 ton 91&1/2 yesterday for a grand that the entire front end is falling out of. Dodge grossly under estimated the jarring the suspension would take under all that weight. Good...
