Convinced my buddy to buy an IDI

[dukedrummer89]

So last weekend I pushed my buddy into buying a IDI. I traded my plow truck that had his plow on it (for a powerstroke) So he was left without a plow truck. He had been talking about getting a winter beater anyway...

So I found him an 86 F250, 6.9, 4 speed, 4x4 with 130k give or take.... For the low price of 400 bucks. It didnt run when he bought it, po (who is actually a member on here) said it was a bad injection pump... We were pretty pleased to find that it just need a new fuel pump and a rusty fuel line replace. It runs like a champ for 55 bucks in parts...

I though the sentence after the title was going to read, "and then I laughed at him and drove away in my cummins laughing. Now, after seeing that he fixed him a running vehicle for under $5oo, I hate you even more. Mine will be runnin one of these days...

I wish we could have loaded it backwards.... but it was 33 degrees, raining, and we had to winch it on the trailer by hand



He also busted the ignition somehow in it.... he goes " i turned the key off but it just keeps running"... you can spin the key around 360 and nothing happens

I'm glad it was nothing serious. I knew it ran good.


Ya, everyone, It's was my truck. At least I didn't scrap it. (thought about it, though)

I'm getting a 'new to me' diesel tomorrow. I'll post details later.

Guess I need to take it outta my sig don't I?

 

[Fishin76]
