    $2500 CCLB 1993 F350

    Looks like a decent IDI at a fair price...

    Hello, Mystery Metal

    I'd move this over to the 6.0 PSD section for better visibility.

    Ats 093 rebuild

    Russ was so good at that stuff. I have one of his gone through turbo spares for my PSD on the shelf. I'd reach out to Justin as he's selling all the other "support hardware", hopefully he has a good place to point you towards.

    F350 80-86 Fuel Selector Valve Connector replacement

    Is the wiring "one for one", just a different shaped plug? If you can identify the colors, might be worth cutting a harness off a donor/junkyard truck and soldering/heat shrinking it on to the bullnose harness. I know it's sacrilege to "de-Bullnose" your truck with OBS part but if the newer...

    Portable Inflator suggestions

    I bought a portable tank last summer and I can’t believe I lived this long without one. I think it might struggle with 35s at 60-70 psi.

    The overly complicated disaster that is this swap project

    First and foremost: As long as you are buying all that stuff pretty right, I see no issues. You can and will sell all that stuff as soon as you decide what to keep and what to offload. 6.7 Cummins and Allison 6 speed is pretty interesting, especially in the Freightshaker chassis as they are...

    4WD IDI C6 are hard to find?

    If you are really going to build a spare, you should think about an E4OD. I love old bulletproof stuff, but the lockup converter and extra gear makes the relatively low revving IDI a completely different vehicle. Freeway cruising and fuel mileage make a vast improvement. Regardless of which way...

    Swapping a 1995 engine, into a 1999 super duty

    The 1995 F250350 has a different water pump/thermostat/heater spigot than all the later OBS years. If you haven't updated all that stuff you should. The 1995 specific stuff is still available, but harder to find (read pricier). I can't speak to anything van specific and/or 1999-up 7.3 stuff...

    Cheap Ebay lift

    I put an add-a-leaf on my old red and white F250 and it did fix the front end sag, but I did have to install offset camber ball joint bushings. I used fixed ones, but I think Moog makes some adjustable ones. You will have to be handy with measuring caster/camber or find a good alignment shop...

    7.3 idi hard to start unless use starting fluid or block heater

    Test each glow plug with a test light or measure impedance. By the way: what make of glow plugs did you install?

    Got a strange problem with my starter

    Do yourself a big favor and buy or make a top stud before you reinstall or replace your starter. You'll thank yourself when that behemoth is hanging from the top stud as you start all the other bolts with your fingers as opposed to holding it up there and fighting the top bolt which can be...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    If it was me, I'd ask the other party to cut you a check for the estimate less your deductible, have a good paintless dent guy get it as good as they can, and put the money into more fuel or other updates on your rig. I'm betting the valet at El Gaucho or Morton's might never be parking your...

    7.3 IDI Block Deck Flatness / Trueness Spec

    Sounds like a really well thought out build. Regarding your concerns about cold starts: I think the DougBoy66 feedback coupled with the relatively mild weather in your neck of the woods would lead me to believe you'll be OK no matter what you do, but doing a quick stock versus your revised...

    7.3 powerstroke lift pump

    Sounds like a really nice set up. Can you post a couple pics? I have a functioning mechanical fuel pump, and I've gutted the heater and all the other options on my fuel bowl to get rid of all the past leaks, but eventually I'm guessing I'm going to go electric lift. Your set up sounds pretty...

    95 F350 Frame Swap to 96 F-Superduty.

    Usually you see a ride height control valve on something with air bag suspension (very popular on motorhomes for instance). It's interesting that it's on a Superduty F350 chassis, makes me wonder if that axle might have come out of something else but it sure looks like it was born there. Maybe...

    7.3 IDI Block Deck Flatness / Trueness Spec

    I agree that .003" sounds like a lot, especially when the cylinder head flatness spec is more like a third of that, but I think you have to think about the overall blueprinting of the engine. if you don't want to count your time, you could deck the block until it's way tighter than the spec...

    Russ Repair new owners?

    I believe William Deering is the guy who makes the aluminum IDI injector return caps. According to his interactions on Facebook, he seems pretty reasonable and IDI knowledgeable. Regarding inventory, all I can say is I delivered what I believe was the last big batch of cores from a storage...

    ok let us beat the mpg horse some

    What's the polite way to say I think your mileage calculation is suspect? I'm going to say I'm skeptical. My cab and a half ZFS was pretty similar to your set up, albeit with 4.10s and I'm sure that your 3.55s definitely help. I ran Portland to Seattle many times at 60 MPH in the right lane...

    Need advice on battery cable replacement kit

    So your positive and negative cables were around $160, plus the two negative mil-spec style terminals? That seems very reasonable for a completely new set: thanks for posting ;Sweet

    Need advice on battery cable replacement kit

    I've never replaced the battery cables, but keep in mind that a 1993 is an IDI. It's a 7.3 IDI in the "old body style/OBS" chassis, which started in 1992. Your truck is a 6.9 in the bullnose style chassis, but they could be a lot more similar than the Powerstroke listing, which really didn't...
