    IDIT flexplate

    I purchased a flexplate for this 93 turbo ,it was factory manual shift. I have searched everywhere for a part number on it. It doesn't appear to be stamped anywhere.I also know that the IDIT engine uses a specific flexplate. And the identification tag that the vendor sent identifies it as the...

    SPOOL INSTALL!!!

    I run Detroit's in the rears of 2 military cucv trucks. They are definitely hard on axle splines.This m1031 has a Detroit/ls combo. It feels unstoppable, and the limited slip lets it steer.

    How did you get into an IDI?

    Gasoline.. an engine where I have to run the air fuel ratio rich.. or else the motor will melt down. Or I can go diesel.. pump as much air as I can in the motor to hopefully burn up all the hydrocarbon.. no lean issues... Capturing unused BTUs in the exhaust.. and turning them into more usable...

    How did you get into an IDI?

    A whopping 155 hp..but 12 mpg with 4.56 gearing..37 inch tires and aerodynamic as my house. Plus there's a 12000 watt PTO driven generator in the box.plus..they are cheap to buy.you'll lose more in depreciation in one year than what these trucks cost.

    How did you get into an IDI?

    I didn't get into diesel for the ego, image thing.Gasoline is a thermodynamic nightmare. And probably the worst motor fuel there is as far as I'm concerned. I like the low RPM torque and efficiency of a diesel. Unfortunately the new clean diesels are so complicated they don't even represent...

    How did you get into an IDI?

    I got into them because it was a cheap way to get into a heavy duty truck. No one around me could keep them running. I always found them with simple little problems like bad lift pumps, air intrusion ect. I have owned 6.2s, 7.3s, Cummins,Power strokes and 1 Duramax. I still prefer and IDI. The...

    7.3 no start

    Does my extended post make any sense? If the cold start solenoid in the pump isn't closing, I am not pressurizing the housing and getting no advance 4 cold start.

    7.3 no start

    Of course I am several hundred miles away from my truck right now... Helping a friend of mine move some military trucks to his new residence. They are 6.2 diesels. When retrieving them, I noticed the one he was driving fired up first roll, the one I was driving had to crank quite a bit. I...

    I would like to thank everybody for their help. I've been driving IDI diesels for 25 years, and only have had to use ether once.It won't even attempt to fire on the ether with the block heater plugged in, Good batteries and starter and a known good injection pump. If it's not going to fire on...

    7.3 no start

    No, but my brother just recommended doing just that. I think I'm going to dump a small amount of oil down the intake to get a good seal on all the rings, and try the gasoline soaked rag.

    7.3 no start

    Just by pure luck that I happened to read that the IDIT uses a different flex plate than the non-turbo. I could not locate a new one anywhere, had to buy a used one. And by the way they are not just laying everywhere..

    7.3 no start

    Yes, I hear a very slight clunking sound when it is rolling over.it sounds like it's coming from the front of the transmission.

    Yes, it is clicking. I even replaced it with a known good one..

    7.3 no start

    I don't know if it makes any difference,but I unhooked the glow plugs before using the ether so they were not both in use at the same time
