Just bought a '93 idi with 129k on it. I've never owned an idi or 7.3L for that matter, so I wanted to know what are some popular or common upgrades that many people on this thread do?

I'm going to be using this as a ranch truck, so I wanted to upgrade power to some degree allowing it plenty of capability for anything I might get myself into.

Thanks in advance.

Hit the stickies, then the tech, then put that info to the truck.
A good fuel system, a turbo and intercooler and pipe, russ ( type 4 ) cam .... Now it starts to get spendy!

Read through the TECH articles that would be your best source for up-grades that work. Fuel, Starter and charging would be the first things I would take care of to make it ready for winter! Just saying

Thanks guys...

How much would it run me to add a turbo package in there?

Also, feel free to link some of your favorite upgrade threads if yall know of any! I'll keep searching though...

Another Houston guy, hi! Is your NA or Turbo? That's pretty low miles to turn into a farm truck...

It's an na... I know it. Want to do some upgrades to it and see how well I fit into it. It's a 4 speed, so it'll get tough driving around the big city.
