i can barely hear my motor in the cab even with dual straits we weather stripping and window seals go along wayGood video.
Glad to hear that other IDIs are as loud as mine in the cab.
Not that it makes it any more bearable.
I couldn't do the whole thing either. That's the guy who has a cousin who has a IDI truck called "slave lake".Couldnt watch the whole thing, but so typical to talk down a mechanical thing that you have no understanding of.
High boys are becoming rare, but IDIs are plentiful.I was a bit disappointed with the video but I know Rich is a Cummins fanboy and the other guy obviously wants more power so naturally they're like "why would you do this? Would you do it again?...no". It's a reliable workhouse of a motor but it's no Clydesdale. The fact that you can pick up an entire IDI truck for the price of a cummins motor is the main reason I like them. In a world filled with overpriced diesel trucks that cost an arm and a leg to fix it's nice to hear there are still fun old clackity cheap ones out there
This would have made a good addition to my "Who's smarter?" thread.It's a reliable workhouse of a motor but it's no Clydesdale.

I got the feeling that the guy who built it likes the idi also, but you gotta fit in with the cool kids?? But, I do know a few guys who made a living running idi trucks, and with very few issues, that will still talk them down. Most people complain of lack of power, but even in factory turbo form, they were pretty impressive in the day for being used as a truck (as designed), not this new strange diesel ricer sceneI watched the whole video to the end.
The whole time they were laughing and joking,
and talking down about the IDI Engine.
I know Deboss does not care for the IDI engine
and likes the Gold Plated Cummins.
"Diesel ricer scene" that's funny right there.this new strange diesel ricer scene
I thought that came from "smoky and the bandit"?But it's real. That's where the "rolling coal" scene came from.
