    IDI down...what would you do?

    These old trucks are nice, and I get being fond of it. I am of mine also;) If the heads are too expensive to be machined, you may luck out at a PnP and doing the work yourself. Good project to learn, it's not terribly hard either unless you don't like instructions o_O I have a IDI pdf I can...

    IDI down...what would you do?

    Truck looks worth fixing to me. Once it's rebuilt you already know it's done vs buying another truck with no history. Imo, you know what you've fixed on your truck, why buy another truck where eventually you'll put more money into it in the long run? Cheaper keeping your own truck and fixing it.

    Still possible to get a 6.9/7.3 4x4 for under $10k?

    Yeah I got liability + medic on mine as well. Saves me about $100 a month. I put it on savings. Extra $1200 a year for parts and emergencies.

    F26D/E Question

    It's easy, no need to overthink it. As for the outside degrading I wouldn't worry about it. It'll easily last 15+ years. Cut the positive line about 4-6". The return line use a duckbill. Pretty simple, don't over think it. Never-Ether

    What size for the lugs should I go? Not the gauge size, but the size of the hole for the lug?

    Batteries,,,,

    Starter has been replaced by the PO before, needs cables but it works fine in warm weather. That's why I think it's the batteries.

    Batteries,,,,

    My Walmart batteries have been a pain. Won't crank engine fast enough in cold weather. 30s-40s. Once it's in the 70s+ they're fine. Walmart won't warranty them either. Don't recommend.

    Fuel filter Emergency fix

    I recommend scrapping the filter housing and upgrading to this: https://puredieselpower.com/ford/6.9l-7.3l-idi-diesel/83-94-6.9l-7.3l-ford-idi-diesel-pdp-fuel-filter-head.html As for your dripping, dry it off and use JB weld as a temporary fix.

    Still possible to get a 6.9/7.3 4x4 for under $10k?

    With my experience from OBS trucks, and older trucks in general, get the worst cheapest rust free truck you can that needs repairs. Reason being, why pay 5+ grand for a truck you'll eventually start replacing everything on, vs buying a truck that needs all the parts now. In the long run your be...

    96 dash bezel

    I haven't bought one, Amazon has them around $90, most all under $120. Just look at the reviews is what I can say. Other companies such as Rockauto or CP Addict are expensive ~$200, that's just too expensive for plastic and is overrated in my opinion.

    96 dash bezel

    The f150s that had one tank have a block off plate. If you go to Amazon or eBay and look at new bezels they come with it usually.

    Recirculating Return Line Fuel?

    Got the valve on. Took about an hour, used a metal coat hanger I bent and slid everything down it. Used a rubber gasket on the inside and a metal and rubber gasket on the outside. Worst case, I can weld the washer and valve on when the rubber rots away. Win win situation. Used a gasket sealer to...

    Recirculating Return Line Fuel?

    Alright installing it today or tomorrow with the trick @Big Bart mentioned. Thanks for the advice btw. I guess I'll install a check valve in this return line, thinking about how the OEM return line has a duckbill and I can't fit one on there so going with a check valve to hopefully mitigate fuel...

    Smoke while warming up

    It's about 60 degrees out and hard to start, replacing battery cables as well. New glow plug system and fuel system set at 7.5 psi, may bring it down to see if it's advancing it too much.

    Smoke while warming up

    My truck just started doing this as well. Going to clear it with some ATF first. Also when running cold it'll almost stall if I rev the engine up and let it back down to idle. Probably need to check my timing.

    Power Stroke Starter on IDI?

    Been researching the difference starters. Way I understand it, for a 7.3PSD there is a spacer that needs to be removed for it to fit the IDI. Then the 6.0, 6.4, and 6.7 starters fit the 7.3 PSD. So logic says it I remove some sort of spacer from these starters it should fit my IDI? I'm sure...

    Power Stroke Starter on IDI?

    Hey y'all, Tried googling the information and can't get it to pull up, I thought I've read somewhere that a 7.3PSD starter can go in an IDI? Is that correct? I was thinking about stickin a 6.0 or 6.4 starter on my IDI if it's possible as I know they are put on the 7.3PSD diesels. They have 3...

    I pulled the old 86 out of the weeds

    While that's a good idea if the starter or batteries are dead, if he has no fuel it'll cause more problems and waste time until we know for certain what the issue is. Better off not doing that in this case, though it is good for other instances.
