So ive had a couple newer (to me) diesel pickups that im sick of pumping money into. Everything on them is so expensive...EGR coolers, oil coolers, fuel injectors (HEUI and common rail), I'm almost ready to give up and go back to gas. I've been recently thinking of trying to find a decent IDI era Ford instead. I don't tow anything real heavy, I just want something that is reliable, simple to work on, and cheaper to maintain and repair. Would you guys recommend doing this? I would need it to start in cold Wisconsin weather unplugged as it would be my daily driver to and from work. Im willing to sacrifice the power to go old school, and would leave the engine stock anyways. Would like to have decent MPG's for going to the cabin (about 200 miles one way). I think I could be happy in an IDI.
