    ***************FOR SALE 1983 F250HD 4X4 7.3 IDI ZF5***************

    That's a nice ride, of say your price is very justified. Good luck and welcome to Oilburners. I can't imagine finding an auto that's as reliable as a 5 speed manual, I can appreciate the want for an auto though using it as a daily driver.

    Looking for Michelin LTX AT2 reviews........

    The internet has mixed reviews on them. I'm looking to put 265-75-16's on a 2wd ext cab work truck that will be carrying about 1500lbs and towing frequently. They are rated for 60,000 miles but I'd be happy with 45,000. Any reputable experiences would be great. Oh yeah, my tire guy said $207...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    It will be up to the task, is it leaking or blow by? Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk

    Read a interesting thread on Diesel Stop, IDI 7.3 , 7.3 turbo rated best.

    You have to put it into perspective. You could crank the screw on the turbo idi, run a stock powerstroke, in the mid 90's when the chips and tuners were in their infancy. They flat out out ran a 6.5 GM diesel and few knew the potential of the Cummins back then. Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk

    Read a interesting thread on Diesel Stop, IDI 7.3 , 7.3 turbo rated best.

    I will fend for the IDI. I am working for a company that tows frequently and puts a ton of mileage on their vehicles. They have had problems with 6.0's and bought a brand new 6.4 which turned into a lawsuit that was won against Ford. The owner prefers the Fors trucks but won't uspend the money...

    2014 Rally plans and ideas to kick around and talk about

    I am planning on a day at a local 1/4 mile track. We have done or had plans to do a dyno day 3 years running so I thought a drag day would be a good change up. If there are enough people coming to warrant interest in a dyno day, I would certainly look into having it.

    The Official 2014 IDI Weekend truck rally

    There is plenty of activity that revolves around our trucks, after all we are quite passionate about them. I would say about 65% of the activities are family based. Children's museums, zoo visits, dining, amusement parks, a woman's day out, these kind of things are on the list of things to do so...

    Happy Thanksgiving, What spare parts should I have on Standby, IDI turbo?

    5/8 wrench. I'm traveling 150 miles a day right now, don't even have a spare tire, just a plug kit and small compressor. Basic tools, some standard nuts and bolts, few pieces of wire and varoius crimp connectors, cordless drill, bits, impact driver, jumper cables. I'm usually helping someone...

    GLOW PLUG HARNESS ???

    Thats a pretty thorough parts list and a nice job. I re located my GP relay to the passenger side inner fender well right behind the battery. I never really cared for it being over top of the engine and especially how they just pull on the harness to get it to the driver's side valve cover on...

    Who has been here? http://www.medievaltimes.com/ The food is awesome and I think the group would have a blast. The ride is a pretty long one, about 2.5 hours, but there are other things to do if we plan a day to go south.

    Advice Needed- 1987 D60 and 5 Speed Swap

    Make sure the track bar made it along with the D60 front. Sometimes people think that you don't need the track bar.cookoo After a good visual inspection, I'd try the 4wd out. There is always the chance of mis matched ratios.

    not enough power

    Please take the time to fill in your signature so we know the basics of your truck like what size tires, what trans and such. We could probably tell you what gears you have with a little more knowledge. My truck turns roughly 2500rpm's@75mph. My F250 turned 2200rpm's at about 80mph with 3:55...

    That would be one heck of a drive.:eek::hail I know Towcat was put through the wringer going to Ron's rally in Michigan but I am very grateful to have met him and have his friendship as a result. I wound up scrapping a truck that I really didn't want to let go of to make Ron's rally but in the...

    Cl find of the week

    I'd be interested in the performance aspect of it and the size of the turbos. Could this be a quick spooling deal that minimizes black smoke on takeoff? The up piping looks a whole lot more efficient than what ATS offers.:sly It looks like he put some money into the engine, despite the guesses...

    Nice truck , canidate for a 7.3 IDI

    That may be true with the original leaf springs but I had a '74 F100 4x4 and every part of the frame was equal to or beefier than my brother's 77 F250 4x4. I put forged alloy axles, Timkin 3800lb taper roller bearings in the rear, beefed up the rear springs to the point that you could load...

    Detroit 353?

    The engines are tough as nails and rebuild kits are plentiful. The 2 stroke Detroit really shines when utilized for continuous operation such as a generator or pump. Just like a 2 stroke gas counterpart, they lack a bit in the torque department when compared to their 4 stroke equal. Detroits are...
