    Looking at another IDI

    Sorry just noticed you already got a blade and put some good work into it. After those extra touches, triple profit should be as easy task. Oh btw, how many miles on her? Derek

    Looking at another IDI

    Brad... you are a lucky man. I would KILL for that truck or any truck similar for that kind of a deal! I've been searching for just that on all the local cl here in a 4 state area and NOTHING but these beat old sh*boxes with 290k miles for 3k+. Even my southern state searches are coming up with...

    6.9l to 7.3l IDI Swap

    I appreciate the help. I'm saving up now a good couple grand (hopefully around 10k to cover everything, truck, expenses to get the vehicle as well as get in home, registration, etc.). As much as I would love a cheapo truck again with just a few issues to pick up, I'm really looking for a diamond...

    6.9l to 7.3l IDI Swap

    Gunz, the extra eye is much appreciated, and no worries, I have a lot of family in the Mobile area anyways, could pay a little visit too while I'm down there (plus a free ride from the airport too, lol) Thanks for the help

    6.9l to 7.3l IDI Swap

    That's awesome then, if I saw 15-18 all day I would be set. Im only looking for a srw and ext. Or crew cabs but only 4wd. If that's the case and the c6 is in good shape ill leave it be. See my goal is to find an early 80's 250/3Auto, SRW, ext or crew (2 door ok too) 4x4 w/6.9/C6 combo with...

    6.9l to 7.3l IDI Swap

    Cool so I would just swap the system then. What kind of mpgs could be expected with a 6.9/C6 stock? Fuel efficiency isn't major concern considering my current vehicle but improvements don't hurt.

    6.9l to 7.3l IDI Swap

    Yeah, if I could, a ZF5 would be my first choice, but unfortunately, even though I'm only 20, I've already had a knee replacement on my clutch leg and can't manage a clutch for extended rides now :( But I'm sure the C6 (thanks for that correction, idk where I was going with C4) would suffice...

    6.9l to 7.3l IDI Swap

    WOW guys that was really informative in less than an hour! Awesome, so that all being said, I don't think I would touch the 6.9 then if I found one, I'll just look for a nicer low mileage one with a long life ahead of it. 10hp, I could care less about, that could be compensated for with little...

    6.9l to 7.3l IDI Swap

    So I've recently really fell in love with the '86-style fords (is that the "slantnose" style?) and now have my eyes peeled for them on Craigs. My question is, I'm not too familiar with the 6.9's only the 7.3's from experience, and was wondering what the pro's and con's are to the 6.9 and how are...

    Some questions about a possible new truck...

    Ok, so I'm talking to a guy right now about a '92 F350 7.3L Turbo, Crew Cab Dually, automatic. So far, I have not seen any pictures just yet so I can only go by what he tells me. He claims it has a spotless interior, all power windows, locks, etc, he says the body is in great shape, no major...

    Well I screwed up big this time....

    Corey, that would be really awesome also, if I hear back on that first white one I might need ya, plus I'm sure you could tell me more than any owner would anyways, and I'd trust the opinion better. Thanks for looking out!

    Well I screwed up big this time....

    '94- I'm gonna try that, shoot him and email and see if he replies. BigNick, sorry, but the 3-speed, is that an auto or standard transmission? I've only had a e4od and dont know about much else as that was my first idi truck

    Man I love this site! Hasn't been 30 mins yet and already help! BigNick, I would be all over that truck BUT it's a standard. I love a standard BUT I blew out my knee a few years back and had a partial replacement (yeah, at 17 :rollseyes:) but now I can't manage a clutch for a long period of...

    Well I screwed up big this time....

    So back in February I bought from a friend a '93 F250 w/7.3idi n/a, for $600. It was an ext. cab, auto, 4x4, 260k miles, but ran like a champ, sounded awesome, and I loved it to death. It did have a BUNCH of body rust, fender rot, cab corners shot, paint looked like crap, but I loved it anyways...

    A Bunch of Misc. Questions I Need Help With!

    Yeah I think I might just buy a new mid tank sender and bring it to a buddys shop to replace it. If it fixes it I know it was the sender/float issue and if not I know for sure then its a wiring problem. For the gps im just going to do as you said replace them and add a little dielectric and...
