    FS: 6.9 IDI Injection pump

    Ok, so after a few PM's, I get the impression that a fair price for the pump is $60. I also have the following items to sell: set of 8 IP lines shown in the picture above, $40. Star Hoffman diesel engine compression tester (model TU-15). $25 Star Hoffman 6.9 and 7.3 IDI glow plug...

    FS: 6.9 IDI Injection pump

    This was in the bed of my '86 f250 when I bought it. It was pulled out by the previous owner because he thought it was the reason why the motor wouldn't start. Turned out to be a bad engine (low comp). I have no way of knowing whether the pump is actually good or not, but I can tell you the...

    Hello again... Good CL deal on IDI?

    What are the big differences from 96 to 98... you mean the 5.9L engine changed? The trucks look the same.

    Hello again... Good CL deal on IDI?

    Thank you all for the replies and advice. I'm looking for something to daily drive 3-4 days per week, 50 miles per day. And I want to be able to tow my car to the track (less than 5000 lb car and trailer) with it. And, of course, use it for the odd errand to pick up mulch or lumber, etc.

    Hello again... Good CL deal on IDI?

    Hey guys, I will soon be in the market again for a truck. If you don't remember, I had an 86 IDI that I was unable to get running, and sold it to a fellow oil burner a couple months ago (to swap in a running IDI). This time, I'm considering some options other than IDI's, but wanted to see...

    Throwing in the towel... anybody want my IDI?

    I just may do that... at least I am familiar enough with the motor now that I know what to look for when buying one (1st thing to look for: does it run? LOL). You guys have all been a tremendous help to me and I really appreciate it.

    Truck is pending sale to a fellow OB member! Keeping it in the family. I'll let him reveal his identity when he chooses... he plans on swapping in a running 6.9 motor, so she will live again.

    That smoke is coming out of the intake. I thought it was wierd, too. It does that every time I crank it (with the air cleaner off).

    Throwing in the towel... anybody want my IDI?

    We're talking about the injection pump being out of time here, right? Injection pump timing doesn't affect compression. So, I guess you're saying that my valve timing might be off... that sounds like a really big can of worms for me. I think I'll leave that alone so the next guy doesn't have...

    Here's a close-up of the only part of the truck that is getting close to rusting through. The paint is bubbling up here, behind the passenger door.

    Here's a video of my truck cranking. VIDEO Also got the fuel pressure gauge in there. Hard to read, but looks like it may have peaked around 3 or 4 psi.
