How did you get into an IDI?
The exact years I cant say. My unit was one of the first in Europe to get the HUMMV's in the late 80's. My understanding was the ARMY ( other branches may have same complaints) were the 6.2 didn't have what they were looking for in performance. This started the 6.2 N/A to 6.5 NA to 6.5 Turbo...- My1500DollarTruck

How did you get into an IDI?
My IDI started with GM 6.2 and a generator project running off of SVO /WVO. I won an auction and ended up with 18 of them @ $65 each. All had come out of HUMMV's when they did the 6.5 IDI upgrades. As for Ford, a friend of mine was helping another friend sale his 92 F250HD. When he dropped the...- My1500DollarTruck

I replaced the CDR, driver valve cover stopped leaking and I re torque it. Passenger leaked less, so i replace gasket and...- My1500DollarTruck

Coolant reservoir full
I would agree with the others on isolate your current issue first and resolve, but I did exactly what you have parts for (radiator,thermostat,hoses, heater hoses). I flushed my system with distilled water several times (I believe I used 16 gallons total of distilled water in the drain/flush...- My1500DollarTruck

Non Tilt Steering Column
I swapped out my tilt auto steering column on my 92 f250. I watched as many youtube videos on disassembly and cleaning, reassembly I could find. Did a time versus cost , I bought one from this seller on Ebay. The link is for your column I believe. Mine was cleaned lubed and in perfect working...- My1500DollarTruck

Coolant reservoir full
Well I just replaced my radiator and thermostat in my 7.3idi. I would suggest the following: 1) remove radiator cap 2) start engine let run, if you still have a working fast idle, the temp switch opens at 114F range to give you an idea where your temps are at when the fast idle goes to parked...- My1500DollarTruck

85 Rear Fuel Tank
If you pull your bed off, swapping in a rear tank not that big of a deal. I just did the 38G upgrade on my 1992 f250. 18g would much easier due to size and dimensions . I also had to pull the receiver assembly/ install the tank/ and then reinstall the receiver. I was going to replace the front...- My1500DollarTruck

Braking Stiff only when Applied Urgently
Yes it will ... you want to make 1/4 turn adjustments on the push rod. You will also get get real good at removing the master cylinder and putting it back on. When I did mine I first did it by the spec length of the push rod ... not a good idea.. way to much and front brakes got hot ... backed...- My1500DollarTruck

Gunson pulse adapter
I bought one off ebay and the actual pulse adapter was to small, I bought a tinytac 1/4 peizo adapter and it worked great with the gunson and my timing light. Others have bought their gunson and they had the correct adapter. YMMV .- My1500DollarTruck

Interest in gauge pods for bulls and bricks?
On my 92 F250 OBS I'm running a glow shift 4 gauge pillar pod 52mm gauges. It fit perfect . Ebay has 3 gauge going at $37 and 4 gauge @ $43. I wouldn't think you would be able to affordably compete in that market if your starting from molds on up. Glow shift also sells a 2 gauge pillar pod...- My1500DollarTruck

Post up your custom fuel pump/filtration setups....
I thought I'd be slick and put inline fuel filters prior to the selector valve to keep trash out of the new selector valve. I did a 38G upgrade on the back and used the stock 18g side. Any RPM over 2200 was causing the filter light to come on and would actually act like a vapor lock and stall...- My1500DollarTruck

Braking Stiff only when Applied Urgently
Reading through the threads, I had a similar issue after redoing complete front/back brakes( calipers hoses drums rotor hoses drums wheel cylinders, master cylinder, and switching to a electric vacuum pump, still had squishy pedal, and had to pump it. What most were pointing at was the RABS, but...- My1500DollarTruck
