Hello there, boys and girls!
I am interested in knowing about experiences users have had with biodiesel and WVO-powered Fords. Specifically, I am looking into 6.9 and 7.3 IDI (pre-PowerStroke) IH/Navistar motors commonly propelling Ford F250/F350 trucks from '83-94.
My goal is to just learn what I can about user input on these setups with bio and WVO. I do subscribe to a number of other biod and diesel forums; such as Oilburners, Diesel Garage, the Diesel Stop, and so on. So I am already targeting Ford/Navistar specific info sources.
Just thought if anyone from this forum had some feedback on their experience with 6.9's or 7.3's, and bio/wvo...I'd love to hear about it..I'm all ears!
FYI, I owned and operated an '84 F350 Stakebody with 6.9 and 4-speed in the '90s in my landscape business, it was a great powerpack...but this was way before the idea of biodiesel and alternative fuels ever entered my thought process.
And, just to "stir things up", here's my dream ride for a Ford bio truck:
Crewcab '83-'90 F350, NON-dually rear, 4x4, longbed....would love one of these. either 4-5-speed, or AT-doesn't matter to me. this way, I'd have suburban-like crew capacity with the option of dropping a commo shelter in the bed for camping/utility.
Before I finish, anyone have a fixer-upper out there they'd like to sell or trade?
PS added a pic of my only oilburner at the moment; an LD-465-powered multifuel M35A2 deuce and a half. It's a '70 Kaiser Jeep with front airshift axle.
