    Should I buy? 1994 F-350 IDI Turbo Reg Cab Manual (Hard Start)

    Thanks for the info on the solid axle swap, it might come down to doing something like that. Eventually this truck will be pulling around a skid steer and dump trailers, I think the turbo will come in handy during thoughs times, But like you said it is not a must.

    Yes you have a point, It seemed a little odd to me as well, if the white truck is a F-250 then it wont be an option anymore. Waiting for my brother to get back to me with the details!

    Should I buy? 1994 F-350 IDI Turbo Reg Cab Manual (Hard Start)

    Thanks for the info and pic! So it is possible for a 1994 F-350 to have a Dana 50 axle? or do all F-350's have Dana 60 Axles? I read the Dana 60 Axles are much better then what is on the F-250's which I assume are the Dana 50's Thanks

    Should I buy? 1994 F-350 IDI Turbo Reg Cab Manual (Hard Start)

    Here is another option for me, however it is a 1991, so no turbo, I also don't know if it is a F-350, it has the same amount of miles but they are asking $5000. It is also located closer to my home, but as you can see is in much better shape. What I don't like about this truck is the Price...

    I am also worried I will not be able to find another 7.3 Turbo F-350 Reg Cab Manual for awhile. At least one that does not have 400,000 some miles on it.

    So at 150,000 miles you think the motor could be bad? He has never told me the motor is bad, he just says it starts hard, I am just worried it could be bad "worse case scenario" How do you tell if the truck has Dana 60 Axles? Thanks for the reply!

    Should I buy? 1994 F-350 IDI Turbo Reg Cab Manual (Hard Start)

    The rust doesn't worry as much as the overall performance of the vehical, I just figured it was a low mileage diesel, with the notorious 7.3, a tough manual tranny, and dana 60 axels. All the other forums I read about these trucks pretty much said they are slow, but reliable and easy to work on...

    Should I buy? 1994 F-350 IDI Turbo Reg Cab Manual (Hard Start)

    Thank you for all the info! I will try $2500 and see what he says! Lets say worst case scenario, the motor needs to be replaced completely, how much am I looking at, for either a new 7.3 IDI or a used one with somewhat low miles, anything below 150,000 miles. Ball park price? Thanks Again!

    The owner said he replaced a few, but not all of them, im sure he put in the cheapest set he could find from the local parts store. Yes the cancer for Minnesota for how old the truck is, is not that bad. From what I can see in the pic's anyway

    Should I buy? 1994 F-350 IDI Turbo Reg Cab Manual (Hard Start)

    He has it posted for $3500, I got him down to $3000 right away. and the night before my brother was going to go get, he got talking to a mechanic who just insisted it was starting hard because of low compression, which then made all of us take a step back, I just thought it started hard because...

    Should I buy? 1994 F-350 IDI Turbo Reg Cab Manual (Hard Start)

    If my zf-5 goes bad can I bolt a T-19 up to my a 1994 idi motor? Really all I am looking for is a tough reliable work horse, that is easy and cheap to fix, and reading about these trucks it sound like that is exactly what they are. Thanks

    Should I buy? 1994 F-350 IDI Turbo Reg Cab Manual (Hard Start)

    Do you think there is any possibility that the motor is already cavitation? maybe it then has low compression in that cylinder and that is why it is starting hard? with only 150,000 miles on it? Thanks for the reply!

    MTKirk, I read somewhere that with the older trucks it is better to have the manual because of the reliablilty, I was told it was to hard on auto's with all switching from forward to reverse. " In the older trucks " if I was buying a newer truck yes I would def go with an auto. I also...

    laserjock, Thanks for replying, The owner told me that it was an IDI, the picture of the motor he sent me looked like the IDI's also. As for the reg cab and manual tranny, that is what I am looking for, for a plow truck anyway, I don't want it to be to long! Thanks
