Napa warranty from noncorporate stores?
So the car-quest thing! ALL car-quest AND Advance will honor the warranty from each other. the deal is you HAVE to keep the receipt, as an indy CQ we have no way of tracking customer information like the corporate stores like advance and speed perks. But if you buy a part with a warranty at my...- Idilarry89

Custom gear drive engine stand!
I got the rotating head made up last night. I used a piece of 1/2 plate I had laying around and the 1 1/4 hitch pin for farm equipment. Simple piece hole saw through the plate set the pin and weld. That’s about as much as I got done last night…. Been fighting with another truck and just needed a...- Idilarry89

Custom gear drive engine stand!
I should also note, I made one end of the stand sliding and Removable, that Way it can be narrowed up to hold a Cummins without having a ton of stick out on each side, or removed if I want to use it as a conventional engine stand.- Idilarry89

6.9 IDI-what kind of battery charger do I get from
Associated still makes the model "US20" you can find them for around $300 online, my Carquest store sells them for like $325 and they are the "dumb" charger. Commercial quality for sure.... We started selling them and using them since Schumachers quality is so bad lately and they quit making...- Idilarry89

PROJECT BLUE MULE
The harness was like 85 plus shipping. To get it to South Dakota, all together was like 98 bucks. well worth the money in my opinion. His website is Classicdieseldesigns.com He offers them in both turbo (pass side relay mount) and non-turbo (relay behind intake). This is the turbo model.- Idilarry89

PROJECT BLUE MULE
Hey guys! No progress on my blue truck yet but I just wanted to show off the glow plug harness I just got from Wes. It’s not for this truck, it’s for my 68 ford with a 6.9. I’m swapping from the burned out autolite 1110 6.9 plugs to the ZD9 motrcraft plugs, and I figured I’d try Wes’ harness...- Idilarry89

PROJECT BLUE MULE
That is true! I never thought of that, I'll probably keep it blue so I can still call it the blue mule. Although, the "mule"part isn't exactly true anymore, it's more like a sick three-legged pony... And iv'e never really been a fan of white myself, but its cheap and forgiving to shoot, that's...- Idilarry89

PROJECT BLUE MULE
Thanks man! I appreciate it. I feel guilty cause I’ve let her rust buildup. Good news is I just got a set of fenders given to me! They are white so paint will come sooner than later. But atleast they aren’t rusted around the arch trim like these... Debating on painting the whole truck white. I...- Idilarry89

Hey guys! So its been a while since i've really done anything in the IDI section.

I am not sure on that one. I know about the restrictors but I don’t know years or what to look for. I guess I’ll do some research! Haha. I haven’t had a chance to pull the cover on the front yet to inspect the oil pump. Maybe tomorrow that will be my afternoon project. But that was actually my...- Idilarry89
