Hello guys.
My name is Chris.
I live in the South-East Texas Panhandle in Memphis, TX (Hall County) right on US 287.
I have been a member over on FTE since 2008 and finally decided to make a profile over here.
I have owned several OBS trucks. A 1994.5 and 1996 Powerstroke but this is my first IDI.
1994 IDI w/Turbo 4x4 CC 5-spd with 262K on the odometer.
The Good:
-starts REALLY well/easily cold/hot weather and cold/hot motor
-had reciepts for new Ujoints, rear driveshaft, brakes, etc.
-single mass flywheel already installed
-gauges installed (which hopefully means he kept an eye on his EGTs
the bad:
-smokes badly on deceleration when throttle is not fully released (blue or white..I cant tell from the drivers seat)
-has a miss on acceleration but not at idle
-needs new tie rod (maybe just bushing) on FP side
-PO painted all the chrome flat black which is flaking off in places (especially around windshield)
What I have planned for her (once I fix the miss and smoke problems):
-6637 filter, downpipe (if the IDI pipe is crap like the powerstroke), straightpipe exhaust
-coolant filter and transmission filter (I assume dieselsite makes one for it)
-swap for the manual side mirrors (I hate how those electronic ones look)
-add third gauge (not sure what yet) and move cluster to A-pillar
-pull front/rear bench and install front and rear 40/20/40 seat with 08 center consoles
-remove that god-awful rear bumper and install either a stocker or ranch-hand style
-install my CB, and VHF radio
-install either my siren box or switches (to operate my offroad lights..KC style)
-sliding rear window, headache rack, bed mounted toolbox and/or fuel tank w/pump
-Anything else yall can think of?
