    Best way to find an IDI to buy?

    jayro88, ALL that I know about that was that my 1st wife & I did fine at Ft. McCoy WI with a 1984 2WD F250 Diesel PU. = It's HARD to find a place with more snow/ice than Ft McCoy. (Ft. McCoy wasn't picked as the Army's Winter Training Center W/O just cause.) In the event that you decide to...

    Best way to find an IDI to buy?

    jayro88, GLAD to hear that your wife is OK. - Vehicles can be easily replaced. There are LOTS of very low mileage & even one-owner IDI trucks here in South TX. = I've bought 3 of them in the last 4 years. (I'm about to buy a 1990 2WD F250 with ZF & 161,000 miles out of an estate sale, to...

    FOUND a FACTORY-TURBOed 1993 IDI PU with GEAR VENDORS OD. = ADVICE PLEASE

    Friends, I found the F250 PU above in the Austin area (to possibly replace my stolen 1990 PU) & wonder what should I have checked on the GV OD, besides having an ordinary pre-purchase check on the PU. (The 1993 LOOKS to be in good shape but I know little or nothing about the GV OD unit & doubt...

    WHICH YEAR READ ENDS FIT THE 1992 F250 PICKUP??

    towcat, THANKS. = NO auxiliary OD set-up for me, given your WISE advice. (At 70YY, that's just one more "source of aggravation" that I don't need. = I had been told that these units, while $$$$, worked well.) I'll just have the rear end "swapped out" with a similar unit (I know where a...

    Good First Diesel Truck

    Duke57, NO, I have ZERO experience with GV OD units but have heard nothing but GOOD reviews of them. Other than the factory workshop manual (that is $$$$$$$), the only book on the 1992 IDI trucks (that I know of) is by CHILTON Publishing. (There's usually at least one copy for sale on...
