    New Sticky?...enjoy the read

    I would suggest an IDI Mods section & add the turbos in there as the IDi only had a turbo for part of the last year & it was a flop.0 torque & 5 HP added.

    I have a 5.9 12 valve Cummins in a one ton 12' flatbed dually with 115k I plan to sell. IMHO best one made. I love my IDI also but the 12 valve 6BT is king.

    Do People Buy 7.3 IDI Engines?

    I have a '93 7.3 IDI & the last month they made the Cummings 12 valve 5.9 both low miles, both in one tons & I like them both. If you want the Dana HD 4WD drive train & the IDI runs good & is in good shape I'd trade It's all there but the engine. Both axles are 3.55s
