    Best way to find an IDI to buy?

    jayro88, ALL that I know about that was that my 1st wife & I did fine at Ft. McCoy WI with a 1984 2WD F250 Diesel PU. = It's HARD to find a place with more snow/ice than Ft McCoy. (Ft. McCoy wasn't picked as the Army's Winter Training Center W/O just cause.) In the event that you decide to...

    Best way to find an IDI to buy?

    jayro88, GLAD to hear that your wife is OK. - Vehicles can be easily replaced. There are LOTS of very low mileage & even one-owner IDI trucks here in South TX. = I've bought 3 of them in the last 4 years. (I'm about to buy a 1990 2WD F250 with ZF & 161,000 miles out of an estate sale, to...

    Friends, I found another 6.9 IDI today (a 1987 bonus cab F250) near Alice, Texas that needs a couple of parts installed, so that I can drive it to san Antonio. I'll pay cash to one of our folks to do the job, IF we have anyone nearby, who can install a new injection pump & engine oil cooler OR...

    FOUND a FACTORY-TURBOed 1993 IDI PU with GEAR VENDORS OD. = ADVICE PLEASE

    Friends, I found the F250 PU above in the Austin area (to possibly replace my stolen 1990 PU) & wonder what should I have checked on the GV OD, besides having an ordinary pre-purchase check on the PU. (The 1993 LOOKS to be in good shape but I know little or nothing about the GV OD unit & doubt...

    WHICH YEAR READ ENDS FIT THE 1992 F250 PICKUP??

    towcat, THANKS. = NO auxiliary OD set-up for me, given your WISE advice. (At 70YY, that's just one more "source of aggravation" that I don't need. = I had been told that these units, while $$$$, worked well.) I'll just have the rear end "swapped out" with a similar unit (I know where a...

    To ALL, IF anyone knows of a COMPLETE & functional Gear Vendors OD to fit a 2WD, 1992 F250 with ZF for sale (at a reasonable price), I would be very interested. yours, satx

    Duke57, NO, I have ZERO experience with GV OD units but have heard nothing but GOOD reviews of them. Other than the factory workshop manual (that is $$$$$$$), the only book on the 1992 IDI trucks (that I know of) is by CHILTON Publishing. (There's usually at least one copy for sale on...

    Good First Diesel Truck

    IH_Diesel, I like the old IDI/F250 well enough that I'm about to buy a FOURTH one. = A one-owner 1992 extended cab XLT with ZF transmission & 157,000 original miles. (IF this one doesn't get totaled/stolen as my 1986/1990 PUs were, I expect it to last me the rest of my life.) Fwiw, I'm...

    gunz, According to The Government Accounting Office's own "bean-counters", LESS than HALF of the taxpayer's money that ODUMBO gave to GM/Chrysler was actually paid back. The more than other half was "forgiven".====> The Mainstream media just plain LIED about that, as the media has about so...

    WHICH YEAR READ ENDS FIT THE 1992 F250 PICKUP??

    riotwarrior, THANKS. Fwiw, the 2wd 1992 F250 will mostly be used as a "third vehicle" (For around town, I usually drive a 1995 MB C220 & Darla drives her 2014 Honda CRV.) for general transportation of things/people & will occasionally tow a 18 foot tin boat (with a pair of 35HP OBs) in a light...

    WHICH YEAR READ ENDS FIT THE 1992 F250 PICKUP??

    Friends, Probably a DUMB question BUT I've found a one-owner 1992 extended cab f250 XLT diesel with ZF, with 157,000 original miles, which has most everything that I want in another PU, except that it's a 4.10 limited-slip rear end. I'd like to swap out the rear end for a 3.55 for more road...

    IDIoit, EXACTLY SO. = When the 1990 F250 (that was stolen on 20JUL17) was to be "returned to stock", I would have had a total of about 5,000.oo invested in it & would have expected it to last me for the rest of my life. Fwiw, I know a fellow here in town who has more than that just in...

    IDIoit, YEP. = Inasmuch as I'm about to get an insurance check for my 1990 F-250 extended cab with ZF that was stolen (in broad daylight, btw), I'll be looking for another nice IDI, rather than "something newer". yours, satx

    IH_Diesel, Can you tell me HOW the early PS diesels have more creature comforts than the 1992-93 IDI trucks?? (I would rate my old 1993 IDI as equally comfortable as ANY stock PS pickup & it was MUCH easier to maintain/work on. Further, the IDI engine is easy to run for a very long time on...
