In my defense, I did start working on these trucks when I was 23 and I developed my love for them at 20.
An upgrade doesn't have to mean replacement. Hint, hint.While I’m ready to upgrade. I still love my IDI
For me it was primarily cost of components. Injectors for the powerstroke are like 2-3 times more expensive.
Yeah, but you also don't have to change them every 100k......More like 8-9 times I think! IDI injector set 250-300... Powerstroke injector 250 EACH...
Definitely not 8-9 times the life span, and much less labor changing them on an idi
much less labor changing them on an idi
Plus no wiring harness to screw with. I'm not sure where he got them but a friend of mine had to replace his and the harness that goes into the valve covers was crazy expensive.
I can have the IP, lines and injectors replaced in three hours for under a grand, do that in your modern dieselSure, unless you're doing it right, replacing the whole fuel system. How often do we hear people cry about the lines being in the way? How about readjusting timing as well. (Since that should be included) how about the IP as well? Oh, what about leaky caps?
Apples to apples.....
Yeah, if you need them. About $200 for both sides. He likely got motorcraft. Which is the only option if you want quality/longevity. None of that dorman junk.
