Hello everyone!! I am new to this forum as well as the 6.9 IDI. I need y’all’s help figuring everything out about this truck. As well as first things to look into, maintenance I should do specifically for this truck etc. I want to hear it all. Been reading all I can but I’m at the point I need people to talk to. It’s a 1983 F250 with the 6.9 IDI, 117k miles, ats turbo kit but not exactly sure which one. I can’t seem to find a catch can but also could be overlooking it. Also it has a switch for a fuel pump, and when you turn it on you can hear the automatic fuel pump turning on, but you can drive it just fine without it on. It has the original, manual fuel pump but any idea what that is for? Also there’s another switch for the glow plugs, can that be rewired to anything better than the glow plugs being controlled by a manual switch? What else should I be looking for? No rust, couple surface rust spots but nothing that has started working though yet. I’ll post some pics and a short video of the engine
