    CL Old IHC Semi...perfect IDI repower

    I know I know...am I nuts...200 horse in a heavy truck? Here's the deal. The old 549 that used to be in this thing topped out at 3200 rpm. The truck would go down the road at 55-60 mph the way it was. We've all grown to love the IDI and realize that we can't be in a hurry with a big load...

    Recommended Frame Repair article from ICar.

    I found this tonight and thought some of you fellas doing frame repair/modifications may find it useful. It's for newer model years, but I'm sure much of the reinforcement and max heat information still applies. I know it's been talked about from time to time, but the recommended way here is...

    JayBee's IDI Ranger

    Does anyone have information on the little ranger that JayBee put the IDI in? I'm assuming it was a compact Ranger pickup of the 80's-90's. With so many mileage related questions as of lately I would think his platform there would be of interest. I remember some discussion in regards to his...

    Steering Column Joints

    Is there a replacement for the attached shaft? This would be from an '84 manual transmission. The joint boot was ripped and there's some grit in there. It looks like a nonserviceable joint. Also, does anyone know how to get these two shafts separated? When you pull them all the way apart...

    Interior cab moisture trap?

    I have the floors stripped out of an '84 extended cab IDI. There is a 3/4" deep channel that runs along the sides that the front seat belts bolt to. I would guess this channel is for moisture, but how's it supposed to work. I don't see any drain holes in it at all. Is it just supposed to...

    Brakes

    I'm having some problems with brakes on a '96 3500 4x4 dually. The pickup has been through many owners, and it seems someone has bypassed the ABS module. Many wires were snipped under the dash. I've gone through and respliced all the wires I can find. Before that the ABS and Brake lights...

    New Heads

    There's a local kid selling a parts truck with a 6.9. He's the 4th owner and claims the engine has new heads with less than 5000 miles. The heads were installed by the second owner. Is there any indicators in terms of casting information that will indicate these are new heads? Thanks, Paul

    I figured I would try to start a new thread with only dyno results, and questions and comments about said engine. I'll start off by posting the dyno sheet that came with my rebuild. I purchased a long block 6.9 through a local Navistar dealer. At the time I purchased this engine, Navistar...

    Bronco Seat Adjuster

    I've been working on getting some different seats in an 84 extended cab. I'm wondering if you fellas with Bronco's can answer a couple of questions. Do your seats fold forward so people can get in the back seat? When you do this does your seat slide all the way forward? Could anyone...

    New body style seats

    Didn't someone here install later model seats in their rig? Like out of a 2000 Ford Pickup? If so what modifications did it take? Sorry for another seat thread. I searched through the archives, but couldn't find anything. Paul
