It's a sad day.....
The truck is totally wrecked, the only salvagable body parts are the tailgate and rearbumper. Taking on a 20,000 lbs gravel truck head on caved the front end in so bad that the 2 leaf springs are the only patruding out the front.

It's a sad day.....
Just found out that the pick up was offically written off today after my head on collision last week with a gravel truck.-cuss It's a shame as that was one hell of a truck as you can tell by my signature it had a babied/pampered life, however it died all to young with such low mileage...- 1992tractor

If it is the Lift pump, how do they work, if it's worn does it starve the IP and therefore create a powerloss? Are they expensive and hard to replace? Also is there a seperate lift pump for each tank or is it combined?- 1992tractor

Rather Sluggish lately!
I have noticed (I think it could be paranoia) over the last several months that my truck becomes sluggish inconsistantly.......I have a 45Km (30 mile) commute every day, one way has 3 or 4 decent hills to pull, and I am noticing some days my truck can pull them usually empty around 80-90Km/h...- 1992tractor

K&N air filters.....Good or bad?
Talking with a buddy (diesel mechanic) tonight about needing to pick up some air filter cleaner to clean my K&N air filter, he mentioned that I shoudl throw my K&N out and go back to paper filters. He mentioned how they let too much dirt through the large holes in order to get more air flow...- 1992tractor

You know you’re an IDI guy when...
You know you're an IDI guy, when every morning when you pull into the parkade at work and the echo inside sets off alarms and you get rude looks from every yuppy around! Not too much when I am 2 floors above in the parkade you can feel the rumble and rattle of the IDI when she's idling in the...- 1992tractor
