Turn up the Volume!!! Screamin' 0-60 IDI Motorhome!!!

[IDIDieselJohn]

Book the day off to see the end of this one!

0-100km/h (60mph) in the 11,000 pound 6.9 IDI camper!

Awesome sound @ 0:55-0:58

Floored @ 0:50

Nice! I love the sound our trucks make. Made me want to go out and drive (too bad I have no motor)

 

[Clydesdale]

Sounding good... love the soundtrack, both IH and Dave Dudley (?)

IDI motorhome?!?!

I swear that gets up to 60 quicker than my 91 with a turbo

 

[zukgod]

Am I the only one who thought damn that thing is quick? lol.

 

[Ataylor]

Nope, I don't think my truck gets up and goes that fast. Maybe after the new pump and injectors it will. I did love the sound since I haven't heard my truck run in a while. I have a few things to button up, then she will pull a 0-60 in 12+ seconds.

Not bad! That's about even with my friend's ex-UHaul w/ a 7.3, prob carrying about the same load!

Also, this really makes me want some better exhaust...my truck is a bit faster, but my fan is louder than my exhaust.

The soundtrack was great, but I must admit to a little dissappointment when reality set in...I have been out of touch lately

See it went something like this; first I see the thread about the 900hp IDI watched the video and thought to myself "wow, that guy should open a fertilizer plant", then I open this one, pull the video and think "wow, dont ever remember a 140 mph spedo in an e-series"...as I watch it pull past 60 (mph in my mind) in 11 seconds I am in awe...and the needle is still moving strong as it passes 80, and closes in on 90.....I am literally on the edge trying to figure out how a 3.55 geared IDI motorhome can pull so smoothly to 80+ mph and then top out at 100.....then reality hit.

Still, it sounded great doing it

Same here! I was wondering if he had 2.87 gears or something in the rear cause it didn't even go into third til right at 80 on the gauge... I was like 'wow'! Then it hit when he said 'there's 60'...

Don't forget....the KM/H to MPH difference. He's a Canuck like me....so 80 on his speedo would be 50 MPH.

I had the same thing happen when I did my 0 - 60 shoot...everyone thought my truck was doing 130 MPH .

Yeah, I wasn't gonna spoil it for the others! They needed a wow moment like I had

 

[Goofyexponent]

That would be badass though......a motorhome that would rival a stock 6.7 pickup

 

[timothyr1014]

what really had me is when I launched the video I had the stats 3.55, c6, motorhome, and 11k lbs running through my head....

I know what my na t19 4.10 dually does when I am running with 15k and a high windload....with 3.55's and one less cog my expectation was along the lines of 60 next week, and a top end near 75.....needless to say as I watched the needle move what looked almost effortlessly (in mph terms) through the 80 & 90 markers I was stunned....as it pushed towards the century mark I was thinking as much as mine sems to run strong, there must be something seriously wrong....makes me want a canadian speedometer

Don't forget....the KM/H to MPH difference.

........... I didn't catch that until you mentioned it

I figured that motorhome must have had 5" stacks, 3 chips and NOS to pull that 0-60 MPH time off
