    Antarctic IDI Build

    And with that, I will turn this post back to the OP for updates. Thanks again, Wes! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Antarctic IDI Build

    Future mods: Level suspension--I think rear is higher than front Move front axle an inch forward New shocks all around Bushwhacker front fender flares New 4" exhaust after turbo install. Hack front bumper to fit and add OBS vent as temporary fix. Custom winch front bumper as final fix. Rear...

    Antarctic IDI Build

    Wes--I remember the previous owner had charging issues and bought a new/rebuilt alternator as a fix right before I picked it up. Not sure I ever ran it long enough to know if it still had the charging issue, and it has sat on a battery tender since it rolled home, due to infrequent use. P.S...

    Antarctic IDI Build

    Glad to see The Sherpa is getting the help it needs. After meeting Wes and his family, I know my IDI is in capable hands, and looking forward to the point where it is fun to drive and not a white knuckle experience. Some back story--this ambulance started life as a 4wd cab and chassis and got...

    2017 Texas IDI Meet

    Not sure if we can make a full weekend out of it, but hoping me and the fam can come out for a day. Easy drive for us! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Custom front bumper

    I was going to fab up a bumper until I saw the Ford "Weld it Yourself" kit from JBFab.net. They do all the stuff I cannot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rear Brake Conversion

    I have a rear kit to install that has parking brake capability. They were quite a bit more than the no parking brake caliper option. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2018 Oilburners Rally Location Nomination

    Great idea. I second Hot Springs as a destination. Great KOA campground there. Lots to do for families (parks, downtown, steam), centrally located, and a bit cooler since its in the mountains.

    Convert 8 lug down to 5 lug

    My early bronco rock crawler has a D60 under it, converted from 8 bolt to 5.5 x 5. It's an expensive conversion using all aftermarket and custom stuff. There is no bolt on solution, other than swapping a D44 for the D60. I would not recommend it for your situation. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Project Big Red

    Is there a template for the OBS cutout mod? Or a writeup? Looks great and very functional with the addition of the IC. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Valve cover gasket reusable?

    I have a leaky Rocker Box gasket, and it appears I will need to remove the valve cover and gasket to get to it. The rocker box gasket is cheap--the valve cover gasket is not that cheap. Can I reuse the original, non-leaking valve cover gasket, or is it a one time use only gasket? Would rather...

    Brainstorming

    If shaft play is fine, what does a Banks turbo upgrade/reseal cost?

    Hard Start When Hot

    Everyone puts Conestoga Diesel on a pedestal, but the one major purchase I made through him (Cummins injectors) at the recommendation of this forum was not that smooth, and the warranty process for the bad injector that died in short order was even worse. No one or business is perfect. Sent...

    Ignition Switch Lock

    Similar thing happened to my non tilt column. Figured now was the time to upgrade, so I bought a tilt and I am refreshing it before install. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Hydroboost Donors

    I, and many others, have retrofitted the Chevy Astrovan hydroboost to all kinds of vehicles. Also Mustang and Superduty hydroboosts. Towcat is right--they are basically the same. The beauty of the F450 HB is that it's a drop in fit with no fabrication. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    The Texas Spring IDI Meet

    My IDI is down until I get the time to rebuild and install my new tilt steering column, among other things. But I would still like to attend. I vote San Antonio over Houston. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
