Well I went and got myself an IDI today! She needs work but runs good! It is a 91 XLT, 4X4, 5speed, new trans and clutch! Boy ran it off the road and broke spring hanger on driver side!

So you'll be selling both Chevy's now??!! Looks to be in good shape body-wise and if she runs and drives good, sounds like you found yourself a cool truck!!

Congrats! Welcome to the brotherhood. Be sure to read the FAQ's if you haven't.

You now have a complete colection of IDI's put in pickups. A 6.5 and what a 7.3 in the '91. I have a feeling the IH motor will be a lot funner to work on for ya compared to the GM.

You can get the spring mount from Ford,looks like a fun toy!!

Outside of the injectors being in a really funky location, I really don't have much to complain on servicing the 6.2/6.5. All the cries about being underpowerd aside, I can powerwash a 6.2/6.5 without worrying about flooding the intake valley, hence a driver can take a 6.2/6.5 powered truck through deeper water. Irregardless of brand name, all the mech injected motors have great points and not-so-great points. But the best point is they will get you home when most of the "smarter" ones have a brain seizure

Well the 6.5 is gone. I traded it for this truck and for another and a little cash. I've got it were I can drive it and move it but it needs ball joints and some other little parts. I'll post some pics of it cleaned up!

Here are a few pics since it is in one piece again and cleaned up a bit! Not bad for $500 truck, that is what I have invested in it.

Wow!! 500 bucks...you're trying to give Darrin Tosh a run for his money on finding deals!! That's great for 500 bucks! Looks even better cleaned up!!

 

[dazedandconfused]

Well the deal was I bought the old 6.5 For $1900. I traded it for this truck and another truck I have to pic up this weekend and the boy is throwing in a little cash. I probably came out ahead on the deal but I put $500 in the 6.5 before I got rid of it. Now it is down the road to the salvage yard to get my project engine to start on. I love having friends in the wrecking buisness sometimes. I'm suppose to pull a 6.5 out and pull a 454 and I get another complete 7.3! Know I need to sell the Dodge and start talking some more to Ken over a DPS!
