Taken aparts lots of both, differences are on 4wd's is the d60 for f350, and all f350 have overload/helper spring above spring pack. everything else is the same.

The NIGHTMARE TRIP! Will I be asking too much of a IDI Turbo?

So yes the Superduty 99+ axles are the way to go but are to costly and hard to find here, guess I will make do with drums, drilled/ slotted front rotors (maybe) I DONT like unit bearing either, ive changed TONS of them some with 60,000, they go without...- fordgirl4by4

The NIGHTMARE TRIP! Will I be asking too much of a IDI Turbo?
Ok So its been brought to my attention that I can buy new disc brake setups cheap! less than $200 for a rear dana 70! My garbage/hay truck that never gets used has a dana 70-18u with 4.10 and locker. They use common Gm rotors and calipers. My dana 70 is nice, low miles and I changed fluid and...- fordgirl4by4

The NIGHTMARE TRIP! Will I be asking too much of a IDI Turbo?
I've done lots of 429 460 gassers over the years, towed lots with them, MPG sucked and EVENTUALLY all develop exhaust manifold or header issues from turning red hot. Yes they work but I have lots of IDI's now and tons of parts and Turbos for them. I get 17mpg in my 1990 f350 srw cc zf5 4.10...- fordgirl4by4

GM 6.5 TD or Ford 7.3 TD
I can say as a owner of TWO 1978 Ford e250 Pathfinder 4x4 vans that they are great, forget the chevy!!! Mine are 5.8 and 7.5 gassers but a 6.9L diesel in one is outstanding. Think: 6.9 5 speed zf5!!!!!! My vans are rusty and retired for the most part till I source a good diesel body My F350...- fordgirl4by4

The NIGHTMARE TRIP! Will I be asking too much of a IDI Turbo?
Well a person I know stopped by to chat with me and I told him my story, turns out he used to drive for the school district here way back when. Guess what he drove a IHC bus with a 6.9L NA idi and automatic. He said he pulled the same passes many times with that old bus for Athletic events and...- fordgirl4by4

OH YES!!! I have been very interested in your cam for awhile, just havent had to tear into any of my 6.9's yet they all run great but now I think I will put a cam in this 7.3 DEALERS DIESEL engine while the body is off.
