    1986 F250 4x4 with Banks Turbo in Pendleton, OR

    It was a tough choice but I ended up getting rid of my Mustang and buying a newer pick up(and defecting to the dark side and buying a Chevy :eek: ), so the IDI has to go.. I hate to sell the old girl but I can't treat it the way it needs to be living in an apartment. Here's my local CL ad...

    Regretfully for sale... 86 F250 6.9l IDI w/ Banks Turbo in Pendleton, OR

    Thanks guys, I hate to get rid of it. Apartment living sucks. I honestly think if this truck was in Portland(Oregon) and not out here in BFE I would have sold it by now.

    Regretfully for sale... 86 F250 6.9l IDI w/ Banks Turbo in Pendleton, OR

    I decided to sell the IDI. I'll be getting back into it eventually when I convince my grandfather to sell or give me his '91, but for now I need to sell it since I bought a newer truck. Here's the CL ad: http://eastoregon.craigslist.org/cto/4267563248.html I'm going to leave the ad up...

    Replaced original Injectors at 266,000 Miles

    Similar story to you. My grandfather has owned his '91 7.3l since 1992 and it has around 280k miles on it. Around 260k it became really hard to start, turns out the original injectors were done. New injectors, return lines, and re timed and off it went again. Still running the original IP...

    Injector knock?

    Truck has unknown mileage on the IP and injectors. I haven't had any fuel related issues or strange noises until today when I went to fire it up after it had been sitting for 4.5 hours. Started easy like usual(glowed for 6 seconds and fired off just about as fast as I hit the key), however it...

    Bullnose/Slantnose Diesel Picture Thread

    No rust that I can tell anywhere, even in the cab corners. Granted if we get into the double digits for rain in a year it's considered a lot. Truck does need a decent amount of work, but find a truck that's 28 years old(built 11/85) that doesn't. My goal is to eventually do a light resto with...

    Bullnose/Slantnose Diesel Picture Thread

    As mine sits now: Even has the original stereo in it. I bought it in April 2013, probably paid a bit too much at $2600 but it's spent it's entire life in Eastern Oregon and a diesel bullnose in good condition is hard to find around here. I've had to replace the radiator...

    Low MPG, what to expect and what to check?

    That's not horrible highway mileage, but the town mileage sucks bad. My truck is very similar to yours. 6.9l, 4x4, C6, 3.55 gears, Banks non gated turbo. I see around 10-11 mpg in town, and I have a lead foot and a tired transmission that'll be rebuilt soon. Highway mileage gets more...

    Intake options for a Banks non waste gated turbo

    That is an interesting option, but I'm having a little trouble thinking of a way to make it work. Sure would be awesome to eliminate the hat. I don't know if I'll ever need an intercooler though.

    Intake options for a Banks non waste gated turbo

    Not much luck finding an ats hat. Hypermax sells theirs separately for $131, might have to just order one and see.

    Intake options for a Banks non waste gated turbo

    Mine is the one piece box unfortunately. I don't think typ4's hat will work since it's for intercooler applications. Anyone ever use hypermax's hat? Look like it may fit.

    Intake options for a Banks non waste gated turbo

    First post here, but I spend a lot of time browsing. This place is awesome, I really appreciate all the info available. My truck is an 86 F250 6.9L with the non waste gated Banks turbo. I have the Banks aluminum air box from hell mounted on my truck now... with a cone filter strapped to the...
