    Seat help

    I need a new seat for an 83 std. cab F250. Does anyone know if any other body styles would be a direct replacement? I heard 78-97 would work, but not sure if it’s true. Thanks!

    Brake question?

    The brake warning light just started coming on intermittently in my 83 F250 6.9. It’s off until you hit the brakes, then it comes on (sometimes), and the pedal is soft. If I hit it again, the light goes off and the pedal is stiffer. The truck was working fine until a couple days ago. The fluid...

    Question

    Couple of 6.9 issues

    Picked up my first 6.9 IDI a few weeks ago. 83 F250 XLT 4x4. I just replaced the glow plugs because they weren’t working. Had to start it on ether when cold. Starts great now... The current issue is white smoke when cold, and a miss at idle and higher rpm. Sometimes it runs fine though. The guy...

    Glow plug relay question

    Hi everyone, I’m new to the forum and to IDI motors. I have an 83 F250 6.9. The glow plug controller is bad so I bought a new relay and a switch to manually control the plugs. My truck has a solid state module attached to the relay which doesn’t seem like it’s original. My problem is when I...
